Facebook Glitch Reveals Dirty Little Secret About Greta Thunberg, Not Who She Says She Is
Greta Thunberg has taken the world by storm so it seems with her climate change agenda and traveling across the world to speak at events.
The reason of course that she has been in the limelight so much is because of how young and "bright" she is.
Many have said that her speeches are all scripted and rehearsed, which I believe to be true partly based on how she speaks at events vs. how she speaks otherwise.
But now it looks like we have some solid evidence that the things that Thunberg is saying aren't her own words. Following a recent Facebook glitch, it was discovered that her own dad is the one who has been posting on Facebook for her.
According to Wired,
Facebook says the bug was the result of a code update that it pushed Thursday evening. It's not something most people would have encountered on their own, since it took navigating to a Page, viewing an edit history, and realizing that there shouldn't be a name and profile picture assigned to edits to exploit it. Still, despite the Friday morning fix, screenshots circulated on 4chan, Imgur, and social media appearing to show the accounts behind the official Facebook Pages of the pseudonymous artist Banksy, Russian president Vladimir Putin, former US secretary of state Hillary Clinton, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau, the hacking collective Anonymous, climate activist Greta Thunberg, and rapper Snoop Dogg, among others.
Facebook points out that no information beyond a name and public profile link were available, but that information isn't supposed to appear in the edit history at all. And for people, say, running anti-regime Pages under a repressive government, making even that much information public is plenty alarming.
So while Facebook said that no other information was compromised, some individuals were still doxxed as a result of the glitch.

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea's decision on Wednesday to suspend a ministerial-level inter-Korean meeting is regrettable and is not in line with a historic declaration announced between the two Koreas in late April, South Korea's unification ministry said.
"North Korea's decision to unilaterally postpone high-level talks between the two Koreas citing an annual joint air drill between South Korea and the United States is not in line with the spirit of the Panmunjom Declaration and is regrettable," ministry spokesman Baik Tae-hyun said in a statement.
Baik urged the North to swiftly return to the talks. An official statement would be sent to North Korea some time on Wednesday, he said.

Henry William George Lupino (16 de junio de 1892-10 de noviembre de 1959), más conocido como  Lupino Lane, fue un actor y director teatral británico, perteneciente a la familia de artistas Lupino.

Familia teatral
Nacido en Londres, pertenecía a una familia de tradición teatral que a menudo afirmaba que sus raíces procedían de un inmigrante italiano del siglo XVII. Él adoptó el apellido Lane como homenaje a su tía abuela Sarah Lane (1822-1899), directora del Teatro Britannia, en Hoxton. Lane se casó con la actriz Violet Blythe el 10 de febrero de 1917, y su hijo, Lauri Lupino Lane (1921-1986), también fue actor. Su hermano, Wallace Lupino (1898-1961), fue así mismo actor, al igual que el hijo de Wallace, Richard.

El miembro más famoso de la familia fue la actriz Ida Lupino, sobrina de Wallace Lupino e hija de los actores Stanley Lupino (1893–1942) y Connie Emerald (1892-1959).

Carrera inicial
Lupino Lane apareció en escena por primera vez a los cuatro años de edad en una gala benéfica en Birmingham a favor de Vesta Tilley. Su debut londinense tuvo lugar en 1903 en el London Pavilion.

En 1915 actuó en el Teatro Empire, y a partir de ese momento interpretó papeles teatrales cómicos y cinematográficos tanto en el Reino Unido como en los Estados Unidos. Lane y Blythe actuaron juntos en el musical de Broadway Afgar, en el Central Theatre en 1921, y después Lane actuó en las Ziegfeld Follies of 1924 en el Teatro New Ámsterdam entre junio de 1924 y marzo de 1925. Más adelante interpretó a Ko-Ko en The Mikado, también en Broadway, en 1925, recibiendo críticas positivas.

Lane intervino de manera regular en filmes mudos tanto británicos como estadounidenses. Su carrera en el cine se inició en el Reino Unido en 1915 con una serie de cortos. Como actor de comedia actuó en 40 títulos de Hollywood rodados en la década de 1920. Fue conocido por sus actividades acrobáticas y por su versatilidad interpretando a 25 personajes en un único film.

Carrera británica en la década de 1930
Lane volvió al Reino Unido en los años treinta. En los primeros años de la década actuó en una serie de obras teatrales, entre ellas el espectáculo de pantomima llamado Aladdin.

Interpretó a Bill Snibson en la pieza Twenty to One, escrita por L. Arthur Rose y Frank Eyton, con música de Billy Mayerl. Lane co-produjo esta obra con Sir Oscar Stoll. La producción fue un gran éxito y se representó en el West End londinense durante un año, y continuando posteriormente en una larga gira por el país.

Posteriormente trabajó en la obra Me and my Girl, escrita por Rose y Douglas Furber con música de Noel Gay, y que fue un gran éxito. Interpretaba una canción y un número de baile que se llamó el Lambeth Walk y que se hizo popular en toda Europa a finales de los años treinta. Lane dirigió y produjo el espectáculo, interpretándolo en 1550 representaciones entre 1937 y 1940. Fue la primera comedia musical británica televisada, y se hizo una versión cinematográfica en 1939. El film fue conocido como Lambeth Walk debido a la popularidad del baile.

Carrera posterior
El éxito de Me and my Girl enriqueció a Lane. En 1946, tras el daño a que fue sometido en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, adquirió el Teatro Gaiety a fin de restaurarlo. Sin embargo, no consiguió apoyo económico y lo vendió en 1950. El local fue demolido en 1956.

Lupino Lane falleció en 1959 en Londres, a los 67 años de edad. Está enterrado en el South London Crematorium and Streatham Park Cemetery.

Resumen cronológico

Ireland and Brexit: Five things you need to know
Outside of the UK, the Republic of Ireland is the country that will be most affected by Britain's exit from the European Union, or Brexit.
The UK is the second biggest customer for Irish goods, while Ireland, an EU member state, is the only country to share a land border with Britain.
The border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, which is a part of the UK, will become the frontier between the EU and an external country after Britain's scheduled departure from the bloc on March 29, 2019.
At that frontier, EU rules on trade standards, products and free movement of people will end.
Why is Ireland so important to Brexit negotiations?
Ever since the UK voted to leave the bloc in June 2016, the Irish border has been a key issue in the Brexit negotiations. The freedom to move across was a key pillar of the peace negotiations that ended in 1998 The Troubles, a 30-year conflict in Northern Ireland between mainly Catholic Irish nationalists and pro-British Protestants.
Currently, joint EU membership means goods and people can travel across the border freely, but there are fears Britain's withdrawal will result in customs checkpoints going up along the border.
That would provoke anger from Irish nationalists and there have been warnings that it could potentially result in a violent backlash – Irish nationalist party Sinn Fein has warned of "civil disobedience" over any hard post-Brexit border, while Northern Ireland's police service has also issued a warning that customs posts would be an "obvious target" for dissident Irish republican groups.
The Irish government has two key priorities in any Brexit negotiations. The first is to make sure the border between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland is as seamless as possible. The second is to ensure there are as few barriers to trade between itself and the UK as possible.
Because of the political sensitivity of the Irish border issue, the EU insisted on guarantees from the British government before entering negotiations on a future trading relationship. That granted the Irish government an effective veto over the Brexit negotiations.
What has the UK government said about the Irish border?
The British government published several so-called "position papers" on the Irish border during the early stages of Brexit negotiations. These stated that Britain would refuse to put any "physical infrastructure", such as customs checkpoints, on the border. They suggested major volumes of trade could be policed through technology – screening goods before shipping them and avoiding any product standards' checks at the border.
However, as the negotiations continued, the Irish government made clear the proposals did not go far enough. Dublin threatened to veto any progress in the talks unless London pledged to maintain similar or identical trading standards between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland that would render customs checks unnecessary.
On December 8, Britain's government gave in to that demand with a pledge to maintain "regulatory alignment" between the UK and the EU. The last-minute initial agreement with the EU was reached to allow Brexit talks to move to a second phase.

Why is the British government in such a difficult position?
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May is performing a very difficult balancing act between many different factions in British politics. The ruling Conservative Party has split down the middle over what kind of Brexit Britain should opt for – a "soft Brexit" involves staying in the EU customs union and single market, or a "hard Brexit" that involves leaving both.
Not only that, but her poor performance in this year's general election means the Conservatives do not have a majority and rely on a Northern Irish party to pass legislation. The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) believes Northern Ireland should remain part of the UK.
Early last week, May thought she had reached a deal to solve the Irish border issue by pledging to maintain "regulatory alignment" only between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, as Dublin demanded. But the agreement was torpedoed at the last minute by the DUP, which threatened to stop supporting May's Conservatives.
The fear for the DUP was that the agreement would result in Northern Ireland adopting different trade regulations to the rest of the UK, which would move it economically and symbolically closer to breaking away from Britain altogether.
But the episode exposed May's weakness, according to Irish commentator Eamonn Mallie, who called it "shambolic in the extreme". May, he told Al Jazeera, has been "held up to ridicule in Europe" by the DUP.

What have the EU and British government agreed about Ireland?
In order to get around the DUP's objections, May has essentially pledged to keep all of the UK in "regulatory alignment" with the EU.
That means, as well as maintaining an open border between Ireland north and south, the region of Northern Ireland will not be treated any differently from the rest of the UK.
This, however, angered Brexit supporters who saw withdrawal from the bloc as a way to devise unique trade rules for Britain.
Some critics say the deal will bar Britain from signing trade deals with other countries around the world. Others argue it means the UK has to mimic rules made in the EU without getting any say in creating them.
Who are the winners and losers?
The Irish government says it could not have gained a better result than the EU deal agreed by May. Leo Varadkar, Ireland's prime minister, said Dublin had "achieved all we had set out to achieve".
Not only will a hard border be avoided, but the British government's pledge to mimic EU rules means any trade barriers between the Republic of Ireland and the UK will be kept to a minimum.
"The most compelling aspect of the Irish government's position is that it is coherent and it is unambiguous," Sam McBride, political editor at the Northern Irish News Letter newspaper, told Al Jazeera.
"They state that they have essentially got everything they wanted, that is in stark contrast to how the DUP are presenting the deal, which has ranged between claiming it as an outright victory to the DUP leader, saying it was imperfect and they essentially ran out of time," he said.
Arguably, those in Britain who wanted a "soft Brexit" will also be happy with the deal. The promise to maintain "regulatory alignment" is the closest possible thing to staying in the bloc's single market and customs union, and will increase the chances of Britain retaining good access to its marketplace.
But for those who say Britain must leave the single market and customs union, the deal might be a disappointment – many of them have already accused May of capitulating to EU demands.
Nigel Farage, the former leader of the UK Independence Party and prominent pro-Brexit campaigner, branded the prime minister "Theresa the Appeaser". Members of her party also called for an assurance that Britain will have "regulatory autonomy".
The worry for these critics is that the arrangement outlined in the deal will bar Britain from coming up with its own trade regulations and signing free trade deals with other countries.
As Fearghal McKinney, a former legislator in Northern Ireland who runs the Brexit Border Blog, put it: "It looks like a defeat for the wilder Brexiteers and an indication that Britain will put most or all of its eggs in the basket of its economic relationship with the EU."

Q: How to know if a font (@font-face) has already been loaded? I'm using Font-Awesome, but while the font files are not loaded, the icons appear with .
So, I want these icons to have display:none while files are not loaded.
@font-face {
  font-family: "FontAwesome";
  src: url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.eot');
  src: url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('eot'), url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.woff') format('woff'), url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'), url('../font/fontawesome-webfont.svg#FontAwesome') format('svg');
  font-weight: normal;
  font-style: normal;
}

How do I know that these files have been loaded and I'm finally able to show the icons?
Edit:
I'm not talking when the page is loaded (onload), because the font could be loaded before the whole page.

A: Here is a different approach to the solutions from others.
I'm using FontAwesome 4.1.0 to build WebGL textures. That gave me the idea to use a tiny canvas to render a fa-square to, then check a pixel in that canvas to test whether it has loaded:
function waitForFontAwesome( callback ) {
   var retries = 5;

   var checkReady = function() {
      var canvas, context;
      retries -= 1;
      canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
      canvas.width = 20;
      canvas.height = 20;
      context = canvas.getContext('2d');
      context.fillStyle = 'rgba(0,0,0,1.0)';
      context.fillRect( 0, 0, 20, 20 );
      context.font = '16pt FontAwesome';
      context.textAlign = 'center';
      context.fillStyle = 'rgba(255,255,255,1.0)';
      context.fillText( '\uf0c8', 10, 18 );
      var data = context.getImageData( 2, 10, 1, 1 ).data;
      if ( data[0] !== 255 && data[1] !== 255 && data[2] !== 255 ) {
         console.log( "FontAwesome is not yet available, retrying ..." );
         if ( retries > 0 ) {
            setTimeout( checkReady, 200 );
         }
      } else {
         console.log( "FontAwesome is loaded" );
         if ( typeof callback === 'function' ) {
            callback();
         }
      }
   }

   checkReady();
};

As it uses a canvas it requires a fairly modern browser, but it might work on IE8 as well with the polyfill.

A: Now on GitHub: https://github.com/patrickmarabeas/jQuery-FontSpy.js
Essentially the method works by comparing the width of a string in two different fonts. We are using Comic Sans as the font to test against, because it is the most different of the web safe fonts and hopefully different enough to any custom font you will be using. Additionally we are using a very large  font-size  so even small differences will be apparent. When the width of the Comic Sans string has been calculated, the  font-family  is changed to your custom font, with a fallback to Comic Sans. When checked, if the string element width is the same, the fallback font of Comic Sans is still in use. If not, your font should be operational.
I rewrote the method of font load detection into a jQuery plugin designed to give the developer the ability to style elements based upon whether the font has been loaded or not. A fail safe timer has been added so the user isn't left without content if the custom font fails to load. That's just bad usability.
I have also added greater control over what happens during font loading and on fail with the inclusion of classes addition and removal. You can now do whatever you like to the font. I would only recommend modifying the fonts size, line spacing, etc to get your fall back font as close to the custom as possible so your layout stays intact, and users get an expected experience.
Here's a demo: http://patrickmarabeas.github.io/jQuery-FontSpy.js
Throw the following into a .js file and reference it.
(function($) {

    $.fontSpy = function( element, conf ) {
        var $element = $(element);
        var defaults = {
            font: $element.css("font-family"),
            onLoad: '',
            onFail: '',
            testFont: 'Comic Sans MS',
            testString: 'QW@HhsXJ',
            delay: 50,
            timeOut: 2500
        };
        var config = $.extend( defaults, conf );
        var tester = document.createElement('span');
            tester.style.position = 'absolute';
            tester.style.top = '-9999px';
            tester.style.left = '-9999px';
            tester.style.visibility = 'hidden';
            tester.style.fontFamily = config.testFont;
            tester.style.fontSize = '250px';
            tester.innerHTML = config.testString;
        document.body.appendChild(tester);
        var fallbackFontWidth = tester.offsetWidth;
        tester.style.fontFamily = config.font + ',' + config.testFont;
        function checkFont() {
            var loadedFontWidth = tester.offsetWidth;
            if (fallbackFontWidth === loadedFontWidth){
                if(config.timeOut < 0) {
                    $element.removeClass(config.onLoad);
                    $element.addClass(config.onFail);
                    console.log('failure');
                }
                else {
                    $element.addClass(config.onLoad);
                    setTimeout(checkFont, config.delay);
                    config.timeOut = config.timeOut - config.delay;
                }
            }
            else {
                $element.removeClass(config.onLoad);
            }
        }
        checkFont();
    };

    $.fn.fontSpy = function(config) {
        return this.each(function() {
            if (undefined == $(this).data('fontSpy')) {
                var plugin = new $.fontSpy(this, config);
                $(this).data('fontSpy', plugin);
            }
        });
    };

})(jQuery);

Apply it to your project
.bannerTextChecked {
        font-family: "Lobster";
        /* don't specify fallback font here, do this in onFail class */
}

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('.bannerTextChecked').fontSpy({
        onLoad: 'hideMe',
        onFail: 'fontFail anotherClass'
    });

});

Remove that FOUC!
.hideMe {
    visibility: hidden !important;
}

.fontFail {
    visibility: visible !important;
    /* fall back font */
    /* necessary styling so fallback font doesn't break your layout */
}

EDIT: FontAwesome compatibility removed as it didn't work properly and ran into issues with different versions. A hacky fix can be found here: https://github.com/patrickmarabeas/jQuery-FontFaceSpy.js/issues/1

A: Here's another way of knowing if a @font-face has already been loaded without having to use timers at all: utilize a "scroll" event to receive an instantaneous event when the size of a carefully crafted element is changed.
I wrote a blog post about how it's done and have published the library on Github.

A: Try WebFont Loader (github repo), developed by Google and Typekit.
This example first displays the text in the default serif font; then after the fonts have loaded it displays the text in the specified font. (This code reproduces Firefox's default behavior in all other modern browsers.)

A: Actually, there is a good way to understand all fonts begin to download or loaded completely or not and fall into some errors, but it is not just for a specific font, pay attention to the following code:
document.fonts.onloading = () => {
  // do someting when fonts begin to download
};

document.fonts.onloadingdone = () => {
  // do someting when fonts are loaded completely
};

document.fonts.onloading = () => {
  // do someting when fonts fall into some error
};

And also there is an option that returns Promise and it could handle with .then function:
document.fonts.ready
 .then(() => console.log('do someting at the final with each status'))

A: Try something like
$(window).bind("load", function() {
       $('#text').addClass('shown');
});

and then do
#text {visibility: hidden;}
#text.shown {visibility: visible;}

The load event should fire after the fonts are loaded.

A: alternatively, you could add font-display: block to your @font-face declaration.
this instructs browsers to render the fallback font as invisible until your font is loaded, no need for display: none or any javascript load font detection

A: Solution for Typescript, Angular.
If you are working with Angular, you can use this module in order to do a font check.
// document.fonts.check extension
import type {} from 'css-font-loading-module';

ngOnInit() {
  this.onFontLoad();
}

public onFontLoad() {
  let myTimer = setInterval(() => {
    if (document.fonts.check('14px MyFont')) {
      console.log('Font is loaded!');
      clearInterval(myTimer);
    } else {
      console.log('Font is loading');
    }
  }, 1);
}

Also, some fonts are extremely heavy. Therefore, you can add a loading screen while the font is loading and remove the loading screen when the font is loaded. I believe this is a better approach rather than changing your CSS class to display: none, merely because it might take 3-4+ seconds to download some fonts if the user has slow internet.

A: Use the below code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>

<canvas id="canvasFont" width="40px" height="40px" style="position: absolute; display: none;"></canvas>

Can check many fonts:
setTimeout(function(){alert(IsLoadedFonts('font1','font2','font3'));},100);

The below code works in opera only but is easy:
if(!document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(document.getElementById('mydiv'))['fontFamily'].match(/myfont/i))
          alert("font do not loaded ");

A: This is an alternate approach that will at least ensure that font-awesome is loaded, NOT a complete solution to the OP. Original code found in the wordpress forums here https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/165358/40636.
It's agnostic and will work with any font style resource like font-awesome where a font-family can be checked.  With a little more thought I bet this could be applied to much more...

A peel removes dead skin cells and reveals fresh, undamaged skin underneath. A peel can be done on the face, chest, back, top of the hands, arms and legs. Peels come in various concentrations. There are many different peels available at Me Skin and Body to treat a variety of skin concerns.
How do Lactic acid peels differ from other chemical peels?
Lactic acid peels are gentle and non-toxic to skin cells and are more of a superficial peel. They require minimal to no prepping depending on the strength of the peel being performed. They promote natural moisturisation of the skin and aid in the elimination of pigmentation and sun damaged skin. Lactic acid peels can also be used to strengthen a skin with an impaired barrier function and are also a very gentle way of treating inflammatory acne conditions. They do not require any downtime or long recovery periods as seen with some Chemical peels.

Interview: Danny Rogers, the man who invented the Flux Capacitor
Unsung hero of the film world
IT IS one of the most memorable gadgets created for the screen, as iconic as the Tardis or dilithium crystals.
Read car REVIEWS or search NEW or USED cars for sale on driving.co.uk
The name of the Flux Capacitor is instantly evocative to people 30 years after Christopher Lloyd's madcap character Emmett "Doc" Brown garbled these words at his machinegun pace:
"Yes! Of course! November 5, 1955! That was the day I invented time travel. I remember it vividly. I was standing on the edge of my toilet hanging a clock, the porcelain was wet, I slipped, hit my head on the sink, and when I came to I had a revelation! A vision! A picture in my head! A picture of this! This is what makes time travel possible: the Flux Capacitor!"
The name of the man who really engineered the device is less well known. Danny Rogers is a British film producer who worked as a designer on the Back to the Future films. He humbly admits to being the man who, 30 years ago, came up with the device that made time travel possible.
We chatted to Rogers, 54, at home as his wife rummaged through the garage looking for the original hoverboard prop.
Jonny Smith: How did you start out in the film industry?
Danny Rogers: I was very artistic at school, so when I left in the late Seventies I became a signwriter's apprentice and did pub signs, logos etc. I had a massive interest in film so in 1982 I bought a one-way flight [which cost him £300] out to Los Angeles. I was 21 years old and took a box of brushes, a small bag of clothes and lots of ambition. Got off the plane, walked to a phone box, found the first sign business out of the book — they had phone books then — and called them: LA Signs and Graphics.
Coincidentally it was owned by a British guy and he gave me some freelance work. It was based in west Hollywood, so right near the movie industry. A real hotbed of creativity. Some of my first work was for the LA Olympics in '84.
I worked there with a guy called Michael Kilgallon — who literally designed the Jurassic Park logo on the back of the cigarette packet in a lunch meeting — and who ended up being my business partner and kind of my mentor. For years he was one of the highest-regarded Hollywood graphic artists. Michael and I did hundreds of bits together on BTTF 2.
So after the '84 Olympics I progressively did more for film, freelancing for a sign company on the Paramount studios and one in north Hollywood. I worked on Beverly Hills Cop 1,2 and 3, Back to the Future 1,2 and 3, The Golden Child, Coming to America …
I made and fitted all the labels on the DeLorean dash and also some engraved interior panels.
JS: How did the BTTF gig come about?
DR: You'd go to the sign/graphics workshop and collect a brief sheet for each job. This basically described what you needed to sketch for the art director. I think for the BTTF job I was working for a massive company called Earl Hays Press. The brief was to simply 'draw an engine for a time machine' which would be named the Flux Capacitor.
You can come up with loads of options. This one "was meant to have been devised by a lunatic, sketched roughly". I did half a dozen different things. The one I was happiest with featured a triangle, then a square, then a Y that got flipped upside down. At one point it was a V12!
Of course there was no science to it, and the equations were made up! They [the art director's team] photocopied it and took it away. My Flux Capacitor sketch ended up being used, and formed the basis for Andrew Probert's DeLorean prop.
JS: Did you turn your hand to any other BTTF stuff?
DR: I was part of the team that did dozens of bits for all three movies. I designed the final hoverboard. The fluoro pink, yellow and green one. Spent about half a day messing about with a few options on that.
Remember the handwritten notes from Marty to Doc from Lou's Café? I did them. And the 'Enchantment under the Sea' Saturday night dance banner. The Jaws 19 poster. I helped out with The Grays Sports Almanac — I have one with my name on the spine.
Remember the old newspapers, space magazines and even the saucy adult mag called Oh LaLa? We block-printed and Letrasetted all of those. It was the very beginning of digital sign making; no Photoshop available in the 1980s!
It got to the stage where we'd push our skills and try to stand out, in the hope of getting more work. I just hoped my stuff wouldn't get discarded.
JS: Did you get to go on set and meet the cast?
DR: Yeah, I went on set a few times. I went out of my way to see my work being filmed, which wasn't part of my job remit but it seemed a shame not to, as a boy who grew up in Dagenham! Back then it was one of those jobs where you could spend time on set if you wanted.
I met pretty much everyone in the cast. Met Michael J [Fox] several times. Very nice chap, as was Christopher Lloyd.
Of course, no one knew how big Back to the Future would become. At the time I had no perception that this would become so iconic.
JS: Did you help out with any details on the DeLorean?
DR: As a graphic designer I made and fitted all the labels on the DeLorean dash and also some engraved interior panels.
I remember seeing the boosters in the back because it was only going to have one originally, but everyone said it looked unbalanced. At first I don't think the time machine was even going to be a car.
JS: What do you drive: is it a DeLorean? Do you even like DeLoreans?
DR: I'm a car fanatic. Obsessive. When I was 10 I remember wanting so badly to be a car designer. That's all I wanted to be. I went to a secondary school in Dagenham and was told the closest I'd get to a car designer is working at Ford on the production line. "Think of something new, because when you are an adult we probably won't be driving cars," I was told.
I was big into the hot rod scene in the 1970s and early Eighties.
A few years ago I met my hero Donato Coco, ex Ferrari and Lotus designer. I was in awe.
The [DeLorean] DMC-12 never really appealed to me. When I drove one, I was amazed how slow it was. I am a bit of clean freak — a bit OCD — and the stainless finish meant it always got hand print marks, and I couldn't handle it. I'm a bit like James May, I have to have my air vents pointing the same way.
I've got some friends who have a fully rigged out DeLorean and they are forever being hounded.
I am actually between cars right now so I can't wait to buy something new. I'm a real Jag man at heart; had an E-type and several Mk2s. I owned the E-type when I was 21 but sold it to go to the US. I think I'll get an XK convertible next. I'd like an F-type but I have two daughters.
I have had a couple of Rolls Shadows and Corniches, a Bentley, couple of Ferraris – 348 and a 360. In the states I had a Golf convertible, then Cadillac Sedan DeVille, then a Porsche 930 "slantnose". Hang on, there was a white Ferrari Mondial 3.4 convertible with blue interior – a proper "Cali car" — when white was cool the first time around. Chris Evans would have loved it.
If I was sitting in my office talking to you now, I'd be drawing a car. Probably doodling an E-type. Always a headlamp and bonnet bulge. Always. Wish I hadn't sold my E-Type now. Above the Miura and 250 Lusso it's my favourite all time car.
The DeLorean never really appealed to me. When I drove one, I was amazed how slow it was
JS: Do you hoard your movie artefacts?
DR: I have quite a lot. My office in Pinewood has a lot, but my wife has banished a lot of it from the house.
[Shouts to the other room] Where's the Hoverboard darling? In the garage?
She's fetching it. I went back to LA to my old office three years ago and found the original hoverboard prop, so brought it home with me.
[Clattering sound, then Rogers' wife brings it in: "It was under your new leaf blower."]
JS: Do you own any other Back to the Future movie props?
DR: Apart from the Flux Capacitor sketch and Hoverboard I've got the scans of all drawings, newspapers, a Grey's Sports Almanac, driver's licenses, futuristic pizza boxes and the multicoloured baseball hat that Michael J wore.
JS: How did you feel seeing the finished film back in '85?
DR: Incredible. One of the wow moments I remember was that at the end where Doc said, "Where we're going we don't need roads." To this day every time I walk on a film set I get excited, and every time I see my name in the credits I point at the screen. Always. Ask my wife.
JS: What do you feel about the film reaching iconic status 30 years later?
DR: It is humbling. I think the film stands the test of time brilliantly. One of the great things about it is that I can sit down with the kids and enjoy it. I showed it to them 10 years ago for the first time, and it was amazing to see their reaction.
JS: Who owns the rights to the Flux Capacitor design?
DR: I design everything on a film under a contract, so however original the logos or whatever, it's all done on a buy out. Don't get me wrong it's well paid, but the designer doesn't own the rights.
I designed the Run DMC logo (no relation to the DMC DeLorean Motor Company) because back in the 1980s, when hip hop was getting big, I worked around the Def Jam records guys. I used to do doodles of logos and pretty much give them away. I saw a rich list recently when Run DMC's DJ Run was quoted as saying something like, "Our logo has earned us a fortune." I had to laugh!

JS: Have you ever attended one of those uber fan comicon type events for Back to Future?
DR: No I haven't. My son is a voice actor and that's his sort of thing.
JS: Do you ever get asked to draw the Flux Capacitor by people?
DR: All the time. I can never remember what the equation is! There are a lot of people who know more about it than me. I love it really though.
JS: Are you celebrating BTTF day today?
DR: Not really. I tend to only really look forward on projects. Today I'm at a lunch meeting to raise funding for another film. I do think of it from time to time and hearing it on the news, or catching that theme music, will always put a smile on my face.
JS: Is the Flux Capacitor drawing one of the pinnacles of your career?
DR: It's weird how much attention a little doodle ended up creating. The Flux Capacitor could have just as easily been a business card, a shop sign or map drawing. I'd like to be renowned as a great script writer or producer, but maybe it will always live in the shadow of the Flux Capacitor.

Accessing Text Messages on broken S5?
So my screen is completely black, with no visibility at all, but the touch screen still works. I can unlock my phone, and could access apps, if I knew exactly where each one was. But I don't, and I kinda need to access my new text messages before I turn this one in. Also, I'd like to be able to reset it before I send it in. Can anyone help with either of these two issues? I used to have an app that allowed me to connect my phone and computer, but now I have no way of turning it on (oh, and voice command is down for whatever reason). This is kinda time-sensitive, so quick replies are greatly appreciated!!
Welcome to Android Central! You could use an MHL adapter to connect your phone to a TV or monitor with an HDMI input. You should be able to mirror the screen there.
It will allow you to access your phone exactly as though you had the phone in your hands. Works a treat.
If all fails, find another S5 to use as a guide.
On both phones, go thru the steps to reset the phone. You will be watching the other phone and making the same exact steps at the same time (you need a friend to help you).
After he makes a step and the screen changes, you need to wait a bit longer to be sure your phone is ready to accept the next step.
Then you do the Factory Reset procedure.... leave it on a good long while, at least twice as long as it should take to complete a reset.
I would suggest you leave it on at least a half hour before boxing it up and sending it off.

Your daughter wants to finish her graduation and you are seeking funds. Apply for a school loan and help your loving child accomplish her dreams. You being a single parent don't want her to sacrifice her wishes. Most of the families find it very tricky to manage the funds as; paying the university fees could be expensive. You cannot always get scholarships and so, the best way to support your child's career is school loan.
There are lot of factors that you must consider before applying for school loan. Gather sufficient information and details related to the procedure. It is always better to have a comparison of the different types of loans you can avail before, making the choice. Discuss your requirements with the school officer and seek options. You can collect some details online and take advice on the available loans. There are basically two types of school loan – federal and private. Ensure the terms and conditions attached with both the types and then take the decisions.
The federal funds or loans are offered by the government and are calculated on the basis of your requirement and the ability to pay off. You can apply for federal school loan if, you are applying for full time study. You can avail the school loans directly from the college or university at subsidized interest rates from the government. For special cases, like disabled students – the school federal loan is funded 100 per cent. You can use this fund for the complete educational purpose – tuitions, on books and PC. The rules and the conditions of federal school loans are very strict but, offer the flexibility of repayment in a span of 10, 20 or 30 years in equal monthly instalments.
The private loans have an advantage over federal loans. You can apply for private school loans whenever you need them. You can also, utilize this fund for fringe expenses. This includes all the other additional expense like – transport, conveyance, boarding and extra fares.
The school loan gives you lot of additional benefits and supports in completing your education. The loan amount may vary from $3500 and $6000 for every academic year with certain rate of inertest to be paid off. Your better credit scores would fetch you better interest rates on the student loans. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) and the repayment methods are very flexible making it very simple for you get rid of the loan burden.

Home Cat shelter Shelter's 'Black Furday' Sale Places Pets in Homes Forever
Shelter's 'Black Furday' Sale Places Pets in Homes Forever
FORT WAYNE, Indiana (WPTA21) – As many people in Northeast Indiana join in the holiday shopping bustle on Black Friday, other families are opening up their homes to become homes forever.
Humane Fort Wayne's Black furday event has pledged to give those seeking adoption from an animal shelter "invaluable, research offerings for pets." Cats and kittens were offered as 'name your own price', senior dogs were only $ 1, and adult dogs were free.
"When we build these relationships through the specials we offer, we guarantee a long-term relationship with the community," said Chele Watson of Humane Fort Wayne. And that was certainly the case with the Nwekwo family. "We took a look at her and knew she had to come home with us," Brianna Nwekwo explained. "We wanted to finish our family of cats. We call them our last four cats, and we've adopted three more from here, and we love coming here, and it's great to work with them.
What Watson is really hoping for from the Black Furday door-to-door is to place some of the shelter's older animals in good homes. Joy Williamson, who lost her own cat earlier this year, has decided to adopt 3-year-old "Eggs". But it wasn't the deal that got him this – Williamson knew his three-day weekend would give him more time to help his foster cat adjust to his new home.
"It's important when you bring a new animal home that they have time to get used to a place, new food and other stuff," she told us. "They are a lifetime of love – never anything negative and always joy, contentment and happiness. I strongly encourage anyone to come and adopt a new lifelong friend.
We are at the end of the day, more than 20 animals have been adopted. "I want to see all of our dogs come out of the shelter," Watson said. "It would be phenomenal. I want to see some of our senior cats come home, I want fewer kittens at the shelter. But I want the community to come and find their new best friend, it will bring them happiness and peace in their homes, during the holidays.
An important step is approaching for the nonprofit organization. On January 1, 2021, Allen County SPCA and HOPE for Animals merged to form Humane Fort Wayne. Their anniversary will pass as we move into 2022.
After Black Furday, the shelter will turn its attention to Giving Tuesday. Each year, the organization often receives matching grants and donations. Executive Director Jessica Henry describes it as "the most important donation day of the year for us… crucial to our rescue mission". We have been told that up to $ 15,000 in donations will be matched this year. If you want to donate, you can find more information here.

I've decided to post the code me and my friend worked on for some time now.This is the implementation of COM interfaces related to RDP (Remote desktop protocol).
The project consists of a server called sharer and a client called a viewer.The server shares the desktop and creates a invitation file,in this case a xml file that can be passed to the other end,to the viewer for communication.
This is the hardest COM project i personaly worked on.This is due to the lack of information on this subject,both in forum and MSDN examples.
There is one project in c# that dates from 2007,and was my initial guide line for this pj.
Information on this subject is very rare and very complicated!
The hardest parts were the events handling and the active x window used in the viewer code,for displaying the shared desktop.
Virtual channels are not pressent in this pj since we felt i didnt needed it.But it is not hard to implement!
1.Run the server and click start sharing...wait a little!
2.When asked,save the file where you want!
3.Pass the invitation to the viewer in order to connect.
I know this code can be very hard,especialy these method overrides for _irdpsessionevents interface but i will kindly reply to all questions that you may ever ask!
On the server call CreateInvitation method of IRDPSRAPIInvitationManager with the 3th parameter as the password!
Then you must pass the password to the client,or it must already know it.
The client can use the password in the call to the Connect method of IRDPSRAPIViewer as the 3th parameter.
When i get a little free time i will exclude the sharer /viewer from the list of shared windows so it will not be shown in the session.
this is.... ....... ........ stuff!
I stil wanna keep it here since it is such an important example for RDP for cpp programmers.
But the improved version i will keep for myself and my close friends.
To answer your question,this code can be modified to steal documents,files etc through virtual channels.
Don't reinvent the wheel, make something new, change the world.
If you prefer man in underware it is fine with some of us.I mean Alan Touring was gay and he is considered the father of the modern computer.
another question about resizing, would wm_size on the main window (of the client) with the usual deferwindowpos of the child will do the trick wih the ActiveX windows or should i have to take care to something else?
To answer the second question,you will have to handle the WM_SIZE message yourself,since from what i remember(it has been a while since i wrote it) the window resizing is not going to impact anything in the view and window...so you will have to adjust the window rectangle accourding to the resizing.
Thanks. I shall sort that out.
it is a very nice project.
To send and receive files and messages,implement the virtual channels.I know that this subject is hard and that knowledge about it is not that easy to find...Play with the interfaces and methods and you will find some interesting things! Good luck!
this works great on windows 7 but on windows xp i get Error creating instance!
What error do you get? Have you tried looking at the exact error message? What did it tell you? Did you google it? Did you even use a debugger?
The IRDPSessionEvents and related COM interfaces have a minimum supported OS of Windows Micro soft windows vista.
Related To RDP and Wndows XP.
I am unsure of the additively buy on a now defunct MSDN blog page someone mentioned that you have to use the NetMeeting APIs.
Edited by wap2k, 24 August 2016 - 07:04 PM.
This code works only on windows vista and up. I'm trying to implement virtual channels that works on any windows. I also analyzed vnc source code but it need port forwarding and access to router to use it properly. I wonder how programs like teamviewer works on any windows version without any port forwarding and extern library ?
Could API Monitor show address or offset of functions from COM interfaces to the trace result?

Opening up a grocery store can be the perfect small business for a person who enjoys working in sales and has a bit of managing experience. While the grocery business is competitive, a strong business plan, good suppliers and a strategic location can turn your supermarket into a successful investment. Below are a few tips to help you build a business plan and set it into motion.
As you may know, the grocery industry is quite competitive and is usually dominated by big companies. To ensure the success of your small business, you will first have to find a niche that is less exploited in your area. Some suggestions include vegan food, fresh produce or ethnic food. While opening up a store that stocks various house products might seem like a good idea, keep in mind that people usually do their shopping in big supermarkets. They usually turn to small grocery stores for those particular items they can't find anywhere else or for fresh produce like vegetables, bread or lactates.
To secure funding, you will need a business plan that shows potential investors how successful your business can be. In order to develop a business plan, you will have to gain knowledge about the local laws. Before opening up your store, you will need some legal documents, such as Federal Employment Identification Number, Business License and Insurance Policy. Get familiar with the food regulations, especially if you plan on selling fresh products, such as meat, fish or vegetables. For example, fiskemerking is important, as it contains the expiry date and traceability information.
Your store's location can make or break your business. Look for a place that is big enough to fit your products and allow a nice aisle design, but not too big, as to not look empty or force you to stock up more than you can sell. Try to find a location that is near a populated area, such as schools, apartment buildings or office buildings. This will ensure you will be getting a lot of customers for the nearby areas. Your store displays need to be large enough for the products to fit together nicely and not look crunched and crowded. The cash register area needs to be visible and makes sure you find a good navneskilt bedrift for your workers' nametags. It's nice to know who you're talking to, when you need help in a store.
This is probably the most important aspect, when trying to succeed in the grocery industry. You will need to set up a reliable network of distributors to provide you with the best products for your store. When receiving the products, make sure to check the sikkerhetsplombe, to make sure you won't be having any trouble before putting the products up on display. Usually, if the seals are broken, the suppliers will agree to swipe the products for undamaged ones.

The color of the flutes matching the seasons is neat! I would love to see some of these historic gem-encrusted flutes. So often, museums have only the very most basic bone or stone flutes - interesting, but not very flashy.

Home > Ballinrobe Women & its Hinterland- List & Bio's > 17 Maura Keane Hughes, Ardkill, near Ballinrobe >
17 Maura Keane Hughes, Ardkill, near Ballinrobe
Maura outside what is now University College Hospital, Galway
Brid Moylette
Hughes Family (during Maura's treatment) on the occasion of her daughter's 1st communion
"Number of years in not the measure of life".
By Brid Mylotte
Maura was born in Ardkill. I remember her as a shy, timid & fearful girl but such traits were no obstacle to achieving her life's ambitions. Work was scarce at the time she completed her Leaving Cert. in Convent of Mercy Ballinrobe.
She had made her career choice to be a nurse, & had successfully gained her place in Nursing School at the Regional Hospital, Galway but had to await a date for training commencement.
In the meantime, she took a factory job in the Shannon Industrial Estate. This was a challenge for her – first time missing family & friends, adjusting to work & new living conditions. She was not to be deterred. A short time later she changed her post to Shannon Diamond. Here, her role included sorting & labeling rough diamonds. While enjoying her new post she visited home regularly & met with Patrick Hughes who ultimately became her husband.
Department of Posts & Telegraphs
An opportunity to compete for a post as telephonist with Dept of Posts & Telegraphs arose & having succeeded in entrance exams she was posted for a 6 months training period in Claremorris. She was happy to move home, as it afforded her a better opportunity to progress her romance with Patrick.
She cycled the 8 miles return to the Post Master's home near Hollymount where she availed of a drive to & from work. Having completed her training, she luckily was offered a post in Ballinrobe. She cycled to & from work each day & enjoyed living at home & socializing with Patrick.
Abandon Ambition?
Family presumed she'd abandon her nursing ambition now that she had a permanent post, living at home & in a relationship. Not so with Maura, she happily sacrificed her home comforts to embark on her caring career.
She trained at the Regional Hospital Galway, a difficult regime, an apprenticeship in format. Staff nurses, sisters & matron were ever vigilant & always ready to reprimand. Hygiene measures were strictly carried out mostly by the trainee nurses - not surprising that hospital super bugs were uncommon back then. Residing in the Nurse's Home had many limitations, permission had to be sought & with good reason, if students were to be out after 10pm.
On completion of her general & midwifery training, Maura took up a post in Merlin Park Hospital.
In April 1973 she and Patrick were married & went on to start their family. Initially they were living with Patrick's parents in their thatched cottage on the family farm. They built and moved into their own bungalow in 1977. They went on to have 8 children, 5 sons 3 daughters.
Following the birth of their youngest child Maura was diagnosed with breast cancer. She had treatment in St. Luke's Hospital, Dublin & had remission for over 3 years. Unfortunately the cancer returned now attacking her brain and bone. She endured the chemotherapy regime with little effect & she passed away after a painful year in January 1989 aged 41 years. RIP.
Legacy to Family and Life
Her legacy to life: Patrick & Maura have 7 surviving children (unfortunately Enda – a Garda, died accidently). They all live in the West of Ireland mostly in the Neale/Cong area. They are active in their community, church, sport, environment & maintaining the traditions of their local area. They have careers in catering, business, construction, agricultural/horticulture, medical, teaching & engineering professions.
"Number of years in not the measure of life". Maura's years though short, were well lived. Her interests included music and dancing both céile & old time. I have a wonderful memory of her dancing the brush dance in her kitchen at a celebration following the stations. She was also active in the community, having been a Eucharistic minister up to becoming terminally ill. She frequently visited locals who were ill/recovering & new mothers/babies & brought them the comfort of her nursing & maternal experience.
Hospitality was her trademark, among family, friends & neighbours. She even hosted the French Minister for Agriculture & his entourage who wished to experience a west of Ireland family farm, while they were on their way for a stay in Ashford Castle.
Maura's nature would suggest that she would shirk challenge, yet she never took the path of least resistance, but faced her many challenges, with endeavour, hope & humour, including the final challenge of cancer & a painful death.
As death approached, she was greatly consoled by the love of her husband & family, the care & attention of the local doctor & the local priest who administered the Sacraments. Her faith was confirmed by the prayers of the people who prayed for and with her.
Her death was a huge grief for her siblings & extended family but could not be compared with her loss to Patrick and her children, who were then aged between 4 and 14 years.

Police arrest suspect behind Istanbul rocket attacks
No injuries reported after Friday's attacks on police department, ruling AK Party's provincial headquarters
A man suspected of being involved in Friday's twin rocket attacks in Istanbul was captured during a police operation on Sunday, a security source said.
Serif T., a member of the ultra-left Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front (DHKP-C), was arrested in the northwestern Tekirdag province, the source said on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on talking to the media.
On Saturday, security forces raided 15 addresses across Istanbul, and arrested five people over suspected links to the attackers who targeted the provincial police headquarters and the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party headquarters in Istanbul on Friday evening.
Istanbul Governor Vasip Sahin said on Twitter late Friday that no one was injured in the attack on the police headquarters, and an investigation had been launched.
He told reporters later on Friday that the rocket pierced the wall of the building but did not explode, and pointed to the involvement of the ultra-left DHKP-C.
He also said two assailants were involved in the attack.

Do not suppress the engine at movement on descent for the purpose of economy of fuel since the hydraulic booster of a wheel and the amplifier of brakes thus will not function, - use braking by the engine, being switched to lowering transfers!
The fuel expense is in many respects defined by style of driving and car service conditions.
Remember that during movement with the speed exceeding value of 60 km/h, activation К/В leads to smaller increase in the expense of fuel, than increase of aerodynamic resistance as a result of opening of windows.


Hamilton is an important industrial and cultural city that lies on the western shores of Lake Ontario, 61 kilometers from Toronto. Despite covering a relatively small area, Hamilton is densely populated, with the 2011 census showing 519,949 inhabitants in the city.
Over the latter half of the 20th century, Hamilton has become an important hub for industry. Indeed, the city is now recognized as the central urban location of the Golden Horseshoe. Hamilton is ninth largest metropolitan area in Canada and the third largest in Ontario, while also being the seventh most expensive auto insurance market in the country.
The origins of the city can be traced back to one man. George Hamilton purchased the original land from James Durand, the local Member of the British Legislative Assembly. After the War of 1812, Hamilton collaborated with property owner Nathaniel Hughson to construct a courthouse and jail on his new property.
Hamilton was born when the land was offered to the crown, allowing the town to grow as Durand became inspired by what Hamilton and Hughson had done.
Since then Hamilton has grown to be an important industrial and cultural hub. The city is home to the Royal Botanical Gardens, the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, the Bruce Trail, McMaster University and Mohawk College. Hamilton has also become important to the arts in Ontario, with numerous TV and film productions created in the city.
Unfortunately, Hamilton is nestled in the Golden Horseshoe, which is an area of Canada with the most expensive auto insurance in the country. This collection of urban areas include Toronto, Kitchener, Hamilton, Niagara, and Waterloo.
The collection of cities represent the largest and most populated urban ribbon in Canada and one of the largest in North America. Cities are always expensive markets for auto insurance because the volume of vehicles and people leads to more collisions and more thefts. Insurance companies work on risk, deciding a premium price depends on how likely an insurer thinks it will lose money through a claim.
Fraud is a huge problem in Ontario and contributes to high car insurance cost in the province. Hamilton is part of the most populated region, which has become a hot bed for insurance fraud. Crime rings are in operation in the city and it is believed to cost customers over $1 billion per year.
Ontario as a whole is expensive for car insurance with an average premium of around $1,400. However, this price has a lot to do with the Golden Horseshoe, with Hamilton being among the most expensive. The average auto insurance premium in the city is $1,683, which is 16% higher than the provincial average, making Hamilton the seventh most expensive auto insurance market in Canada.
Because of the high auto insurance in Hamilton, shopping around for the most affordable policy is very important. Remarkably, many customers still do not shop around for quotes and simply take the first policy they find. This is risky because it can mean a policy that lacks necessary benefits but still costs a lot of money.


TripAdvisor®, the travel planning and booking site, today announced the winners of its Travellers' Choice® awards for Beaches in Australia and the world.
For the first time, Sydneysiders' favourite Manly Beach took the #1 spot in Australia whilst six beaches in Queensland made it into the Australia top 10 list. Globally, the gorgeous Grace Bay in Turks and Caicos was rated as the best beach in the world by TripAdvisor reviewers.
Member for Manly James Griffin said this accolade is well-deserved recognition for what is now officially Australia's best beach. "Manly is loved by locals and visitors from across the globe so it's no surprise to see our beach named the number one beach in the country, thanks to its stunning coastline, waterside bars and restaurants, picturesque walking tracks and direct access by ferry from Sydney's CBD," Mr Griffin said.
Coming in first is nothing new to Manly Beach – it was first beach in Australia to allow daylight swimming in 1903, hosted the world's earliest surfing championship back in 1964 and now taking the number one spot. Reviewers say it's a "must-see" when in Sydney and travellers can take the ferry service from Circular Quay and spend the afternoon taking in the "breath-taking" views or strolling along Corso, for plenty of shops, bars and restaurants.
Surfer's Paradise Beach is one of Australia's most iconic and visited tourist attraction, known for its "crystal clear waters" and "great sandy beach". Reviewers recommend it as a picnic spot and taking a stroll down the esplanade for the magnificent city skylines. Vigilant lifeguards keep the beach safe and ensure that beach-goers swim within the safe zones.
Stretching over seven kilometres, Whitehaven beach is the largest of the 74 islands in the Whitsundays. The beach gives a whole new meaning to soft, white sandy beach with 98 percent pure white silica sands, making it "one of the purest in the world". Travellers highly recommend making a climb up to the Hill Inlet lookout for views of "swirls of pure white sand, crystal turquoise water and little islands of coral reefs around it".
Home to one of Noosa's best surf locations, Noosa Main Beach is "great for first time surfers" thanks to its "gentle waves and plenty of life savers". As one of the very few beaches along Australia's eastern coastline that faces north, the waters are warm and calm most of the year around. Travellers can head to the nearby Hasting Street, a vibrant area with cafes, bars and restaurants, after a day of relaxation under the sun.
World-renowned Bondi Beach is one of Sydney's most popular beaches, located just eight kilometres or a short bus ride away from the city centre. Visitors to Sydney's famous eastern shoreline will be delighted with Bondi's "lovely sweeping curve", "mesmerising waves" and lively sun seekers. Travellers recommend going on a coastal walk from Bondi to Congee to be "rewarded with great scenery and a pleasant walk".
Stretching over four miles of white sand and glistening water, reviewers say Four Mile Beach is "one of the most iconic beaches in tropical north Queensland". Travellers can expect warm waters, tropical weather and a coastline fringed with palm trees at the main beach of Port Douglas. Swimmers are advised to stay within the netted area which keeps the section of the beach free of sharks, crocodiles and jellyfish.
Cable Beach is said to be "one of the most scenic beaches in the world", with its rich red ochre dunes, white sand and clear turquoise waters. Named after the telegraph cable laid between Broome and Java in 1889, the beach remains relatively uncrowded even during the peak season between May and October. A "must-do on everyone's bucket list", travellers can relax over beers whilst watching the sun set into the Indian Ocean.
Mooloolaba Beach is the one of the safest of the Sunshine Coast beaches as its north-facing location ensures near-perfect and safe water conditions all year round. The gentle waves makes the "beautiful and clean" beach popular for swimming, boogie boards and body surfing. A favourite among families, the rock pools along the beach have "all sorts of interesting creatures for children to observe safely".
Located on the Southern end of Gold Coast, Burleigh Heads is famous for its "perfect" surfing conditions and laid back Australian atmosphere. Loved by locals and tourists alike, the beach is a great spot for swimming in protected waters. It is also close to Burleigh Head National Park, where travellers can "spot some wildlife and capture great scenic shots of the coastline".
Experience "turquoise waters and white sand" at Turquoise Bay, one of Western Australia's most beautiful beaches. The beach is within metres of the renowned Ningaloo Reef making it the perfect spot for snorkelling amongst a rich biodiversity of marine life including "colourful corals and fishes, octopuses and see turtles." The bay is also popular for drift snorkelling, where beachgoers swim out to the reef on the southern end of the beach and let the current wash them north to the sand bar.
TripAdvisor is unable to offer information about accommodations in Cuba at this time, due to restrictions on travel to Cuba.
TripAdvisor has awarded 355 beaches overall, including the top 25 in the world and local lists for Asia, Europe, Africa, South Pacific, South America, Middle East, Caribbean, Central America, Australia, Brazil, Costa Rica, France, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, the U.K. and the U.S. Award winners were determined based on the quantity and quality of traveller reviews and ratings for beaches on TripAdvisor, gathered over a 12-month period.
