The following day I was so excited to explore the site that welcomed me when I first stepped off the shuttle bus – The Old Town and the City Walls – beautiful red roofed buildings surrounded by a stone wall which was built throughout history to defend the city and the port.
From the ground and once you have entered through the Pile Gate you step inside the Old Town where you can wonder along narrow streets, climb stone steps, marvel at ancient architecture, shop, eat and drink. From above, walking along the city walls, you can see an abundance of red roofs, busy streets and glistening sea. For £17(150 Kuna) you can walk the full 2km circuit of the wall. Even though we walked in 33 degree heat with the sun blazing it was an amazing experience. So picturesque and full of history, and it also helped me to appreciate exactly how the city walls protected the town. Stopping for numerous photos, taking moments to appreciate the scenery and sipping on the local beer, Ozujsko (£5 (42 Kuna)) in Buza Bar, built into the cliff side just on the outside of the City Walls, the walk took us around 2 hours. I would totally recommend doing the walk. If 2km with upward slopes and steps sounds a bit challenging, there are exits along the way so that you don't have to do the full circuit.
As the bus from Babin Kuk to the town was only about 15 minutes at a cost of £1.50 we decided to head back into the town for dinner and drinks that same night. We had dinner in 1863 Dubravka, which is a lovely restaurant set just outside the walls and looking out onto the sea, and for the Game of Thrones fans; Kings Landing! It is a busy outdoor restaurant but don't be put off. We asked for a table for 2 by the sea and although it was extremely busy they managed to find us the table we requested within minutes. You don't know if don't try! Now, I am not a huge seafood lover, but I have it on good authority that it was exceptional in all of the restaurants we ate in.
Dubrovnik really is a beautiful city filled with history, nice restaurants & lovely views.
My first day in Rainbow Beach was not so great. After another long bus journey I arrived to heavy rain which lasted all day. Even though it was raining I still did my usual thing of getting lost and exploring my new surroundings but there wasn't much to see, just a parade of shops and about 3 hostels and a beach. I then spent the rest of the day watching movies in my hostel, Pippies.
3 days and 2 nights on the worlds largest sand island – Fraser Island.
The meeting was to advise us of the dangerous animals, especially Dingos and how to drive on the island. We were then split into 4 groups of 8 and these people would be who I would be sharing the 4×4 and cooking with. I was very fortunate to be put in a great group, 5 lads from Belgium and Germany and 2 girls from England. After the meeting we set off in our groups to do our food & alcohol shopping for the 3 day trip. We spent $26 each which provided us with breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks and luckily we bought just enough to last us.
The next morning we all gathered around our cars for a few final tips and then we made our way to the ferry to take us across to Fraser Island. Once on Fraser Island the fun began immediately. Always following the lead vehicle driven by our guide Brett, the first driver of our car, Benni, raced us along the long stretch of sand dodging waves and rocks. We then swapped drivers twice whilst driving inland up and down sandy tracks surrounded by forrest. The forrest was amazing, especially when you remember that there is no soil on the island at all, just pure sand. After a few hours of crazy bumpy driving we arrived at Lake Mackenzie.
Lake Mackenzie, originally named Booroongora, is a huge lake made of pure fresh rainwater. The sun was blazing and so it was a welcome relief to jump into the fresh clean pure water. We spent a few hours here before it was my time to drive! I was nervous to begin with, as I haven't driven for a few months, it was an automatic which I had never driven before and I was going to be driving on sand. Once I got going though, it was so much fun and easier than I thought.
Heading further north after some lunch we stopped at the shipwreck S.S Maheno. The Maheno was a luxury passenger ship and also used as a medical ship in World War I. The shipwreck will stay in the same spot until nature takes it away.
Another driver took to the wheel and we headed for camp. Pippies Tag Along Tours have a campsite permenantly set up and so all we had to do was choose a tent, crack open a beer and start cooking dinner. Our group had decided on bbq for the first night and so we had a lovely feast of meats and salad. After food, the alcohol took control and we all started chatting easily and then started playing drinking games and ended the night dancing around the campsite.
The next day my group were severly hungover but luckily we knew we were in the tour guides car that day so we didn't have to drive. Instead we were able to relax and enjoy the day. First stop was the Champagne Pools, this is actually the sea but rocks are placed in a way that the waves crash over them and then the sea water forms lots of little bubbles, hence the name Champagne Pools. After a nice refreshing swim we then headed for Indian Head. This is a huge cliff face where the original natives of the island spotted Captain Cooks ship approaching the island. We sat on top of the cliff for a while watching Mantaray and Turtles gliding through the waters below us.
After a spot of lunch it was on to Eli Creek. Eli Creek is a flow of fresh water on the beach pushed out by natural springs further in the island. The power of the springs pushing the water out creates a natural flow which enables you to slowly float down the shallow creek. Our tour guide provided us with rubber rings which added to the fun.
Another night was spent in camp (after sandboarding down the sand dunes) eating and chatting and I also had an encounter with a Dingo! We had seen a Dingo in camp the night before but it just looked at us and walked away. This time I was coming out of the shower block alone when the Dingo came out of the bushes and started walking towards me. I doubt it would have done me any harm but it was not worth the risk. I calmly shouted back to the girls in the showers to open the door quick and I slowly walked backwards into the block. I waited 5 minutes and then we all walked out together, by this time the Dingo had moved on. Phew!
The last day on the island was spent at Lake Wabby, a lake formed in the sand dunes. It was once one big lake, but over years more sand dunes have formed, creating smaller seperate lakes. Again this was fresh water and after a long, hot, tiring 40 minute walk into the island and across sand dunes it was a beautiful welcoming lake. A lovely end to such a great weekend.
Our tour guide Brett was brilliant, so knowledgable, passionate, relaxed and good fun, I would definately recommed this tour to anyone travelling the East Coast.
So much fun and so much beauty on one island where nature is your playground.
50 minutes on a fast boat is pretty hard going, but it got me to land where I was able to get my bus to take me to Ubud, Bali. What was supposed to be just over an hours journey turned into a 2 hour journey when the wheel axle on our bus broke. We had to wait for roughly half an hour for another bus to come and get us. The second bus got me safely to Ubud and luckily it stopped only 15 minutes walk from my hostel, The Happy Mango at a price of £4 per night.
Mount Batur which is an active volcano, last eruption was in 2000.
The trek cost me 350,000 IDR which included transport, breakfast, a guide and lunch. I was picked up in Ubud at 2:30am so that we could see the sunrise over neighbouring volcanos. Walking 1,700m up a volcano is not easy at all, but I did it and was extremely proud of myself, even overtaking many other groups.
We made the trek in good time for sunrise, but, unfortunately it is rainy season in Indonesia and the beautiful view was ruined by cloud and rain.
amazing experience and a great achievement for me.
Our guide then took us on a walk around the top of the volcano to view the steam vents, where we could warm ourselves up, just a shame it couldn't dry us too, the old lava flows and the spot where there was once a village which was wiped out by an eruption and an ancient cave used as a temple which is very sacred so we were unable to go inside.
The trek was amazing and I would certainly recommend it.
Wanting to stay active after an alcohol fuelled and lazy week on Gili, I booked a cycling tour for the following day. The tour cost 300,000IDR and was worth every penny. We had a massive traditional breakfast of black rice and coconut milk, chicken, rice, crackers, salad and pancake, overlooking Mount Batur which I had climbed the day before. The sun was out and I was able to see the volcano in all its beauty. We then hopped on our bikes and cycled through Ubud to the local villages, where the children were extremely excited to see us, running along and shouting hello. We saw people at work in the rice fields and got to marvel at the beauty of Bali away from the tourist hot spots. We were then treated to another traditional feast of roasted duck, chicken, rice, noodles, satay, vegetables and an array of sauces also followed by a fruit and honey dessert. Delicious!
I have really enjoyed my time in Ubud, next stop is Kuta which I have been warned is a noisy, touristy area, but 1 night before I leave wonderful Bali wont harm.
Another last minute decision to visit Indonesia turned out to be a great decision, although my first day in Lombok I didn't quite feel that way. I arrived in Lombok after a 3 hour flight from Singapore, but landed a lot later than expected due to a delay. I was not keen on using the cheaper local transport which I had originally planned because I was on my own and it was no longer daylight so had to pay out for a taxi to take me to Singiggi, over an hour away, where my pre-booked hostel was.
I checked into my room with the little Indonesian Rupiah I had which then left me with no money, which I expected, as I had planned to draw money out at the ATM. Unfortunately the ATM didn't want to give me any money and so I tried to call my Bank on the 2 phones I had with me but neither of them would connect. I was in a terrible hostel, which normally I laugh at but I had no money and no phones, and it just felt as though everything was going wrong. I was feeling a bit low but I decided to hold my head up and reminded myself how much I am loving travelling and that these were minor issues that were going to happen sooner or later. So, I got myself a drink, took a stroll along the main high street and as I was starting to feel happier I came across an ATM and just decided to try my luck, and as luck would have it, I was able to get some cash out! I instantly knew I was not going to enjoy Lombok and so by 10pm I had booked a bus and ferry to Gili Trawangan leaving at 9am the next day.
After a short bus journey and a slow boat I stepped onto Gili Trawangan the largest of the 3 Gili islands but the estimated permanent population being only 800.
I checked into my hostel, Le Grand Gili Backpackers at a price of 80,000rp (about £4.50) but it was really empty and I was the only one in the dorm, so I set down my backpack and went in search of another hostel. I found Gili Hostel which was right on the beach and close to all the bars. I booked myself in for the following 3 nights.
Gili Trawangan was a lot like Sihanoukville in Cambodia; beach, bars and accommodation. This made an ideal setting for my birthday celebrations. I had an amazing 4 nights on the island partying by night and sunbathing by day. It is also very popular for scuba diving and snorkeling trips but I decided to use the time in Gili to relax and save a bit of money. Every night there is a food market where stalls set up in a square and in the middle if the square is seating, the food was freshly cooked, extremely cheap and was a good social area. A must do if you visit Gili.
In asia fire stick twirling is quite popular and one night at the sunset bar I asked the talented guys if they would show me how to do it and I was lucky enough to give it a go. It is not as easy as it looks!
Whilst on the island I was able to get some good tips on my next stop which was to be Bali. So filled with more excitement I booked my fast boat and bus ticket to Ubud, Bali.


The keys to success for any local LEAD programming initiative are to make it relevant and accommodating to the specific chapter. Above all, the LEAD Program is a tool to increase chapter performance, brotherhood, ethical leadership, and the overall member experience. That being said, the old adage, "if the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail," definitely applies to LEAD. A skilled consultant, LEAD Chairman, or advisor knows that LEAD is more than a hammer and uses the program to achieve various goals and to meet almost any specific need or circumstance.
The following is a list of common myths and misconceptions that chapters, students, and alumni often hold about the LEAD Program.
Hard copy LEAD manuals are better than the new online sessions.
Over the next few weeks we will address each of these myths and misconceptions here at the blog. We'll explain why each myth doesn't hold up, and we'll provide the tools to push past the excuses and implement an effective and enjoyable LEAD Program.
Part of your job as a member of Sigma Nu (collegian, alumnus, officer, advisor, LEAD participant, or otherwise) is knowing that these are just that, myths and misconceptions, and effectively addressing them with chapters.
Help us out by following along and adding your own thoughts and responses in the comments section below.
If you have additional myths, misconceptions, or questions that you would like us to address then feel free to add those in the comments section as well.

It seems like we've been talking about the possibility of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates forever. In reality we've only been discussing it since last December, when the Fed made the decision to hike rates for the first time since 2006.
At the time the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) made the decision to lift rates by 0.25%, and on the day that it rolled out the markets reacted favorably. Arguably, since that decision has been made the US economy has been getting stronger, but we've not seen the suggested rise in rates that was discussed way back in December 2015.
So now it is just a waiting game. All eyes will be on the Presidential Election, with more and more attention being focused on it.
The reason that we've not seen a lift in the interest rates is complex, and would take much longer than this blog to fully lay out. In short, however, it is because the economy has failed to meet certain criteria laid out by the Fed themselves. This includes economic markers of manufacturing, employment and inflation.
With borrowing costs low, we have seen a surge to the value of the USD. In most of the major pairings it is more than holding its own, and has even (off the back of Brexit and the recent flash crash) pushed to historic highs against the pound.
But a strong dollar isn't all it is cracked up to be. With the USD so strong, importing countries will look elsewhere for their commodities, because simply they are more expensive to purchase from the USA. That could then lead to market drops, lower prices, risk to jobs which in turn could affect the potential rate increase.
But Will The December Hike Actually Happen?
The Fed Watch now puts the likelihood of a rate increase at around 72%. That is by no means a guaranteed hike, and will be affected by a certain event scheduled in for early November – the US Presidential Election.
Your reaction as to why the rate increase has been put off until after the election will largely be dependent on your political sway. As we want to remain impartial, we will simply observe two sides of the debate, and not engage it further. Trump believes that the rates have been held off so that Yellen can allow Obama to leave on a career high; meanwhile Clinton's camp believe the rate has been delayed until it was stable enough to weather the rate increase.
So What Happens Until December?
Between now and the end of the year, the Fed will be keeping their eye on certain economic markers (the non-farm payroll, PMI, inflation etc). Those will have to continue to stay in the region of certain levels in order for the rate increase to happen.
So now it is just a waiting game. All eyes will be on the Presidential Election, with more and more attention being focused on it. Immediate market moves once the election has been called shouldn't be enough to rock the economic markers needed for the rate increase, but then again if employment continues to slide then the rate increase could be off the cards for the foreseeable.
In these uncertain times, we can expect increased volatility in the markets. And that's great if you've got a guide or a game-plan to get you through the unpredictable times.

Type Of Vehicles Matic First Time In The World – The evolution of the automotive industry certainly can't be separated from the background of the past where there is the first vehicle in Indonesia which you may never know before.

Public transportation is just one of the most popular vehicles since it makes it effortless for everybody to get from 1 location to another easily, that public transportation bus also includes a more affordable ticket price compared to having to devote money to purchase their gasoline. Also, applying this public transport bus can avoid traffic jams on the street. So, the first most popular car in Indonesia is public transportation vehicles.
Additionally, the kind of vehicle that is considering the people of Indonesia is a private car, this vehicle is usually not a secondary need anymore but a simple requirement that any home has it. Every family usually has a vehicle to satisfy their requirements when traveling together with a large family, a holiday to some place or visiting relatives. Personal automobiles aren't any longer a secondary need, but a primary need for everybody. Because for those who live in cities and much from people facilities surely need a vehicle such as a private automobile to facilitate traveling to their destination. There are various kinds of personal car brands that are preferred by Indonesians including the most well-known brands such as Honda, Suzuki, Toyota, and several others. Basically, the car is the second most popular vehicle for the people of Indonesia.
Motorcycles at Indonesia have various types which range from men's and automatic motorbikes that are generally used by all walks of life. Motorbikes will be the most popular vehicles because besides having lower prices than cars, obtaining a motorbike also makes it simpler for everyone to carry out particular activities like work, study, holiday or visiting family members.

Other vehicles that are still common today, even to the day most individuals own motorbikes and automobiles. Bicycles become a distinctive vehicle for people who wish to live healthier, different from cars and motorcycles that run through the engine in the event the bike takes power in the legs to be able to walk. Normally, bicycles are employed by Indonesians for sports and occasionally some still utilize bicycles to go to study or work.
Not everybody knows that the first car in Indonesia was once owned by a king, Sri Susuhunan Pakubuwono X, who had the primary automobile in Indonesia using a unique shape. This auto has the name Benz Victoria Phaeton which is a car made in 1894 and became among the most luxurious cars of that age. Concerning the occurrence of this vehicle, it is still stored well in the Dutch Louwman Museum. Listed below are interesting facts of the very first car in Indonesia possessed by Sri Susuhunan Pakubuwono X.Facts of the First Vehicle in Indonesia
This 1 car is quite popular with classic style automotive fans, almost everybody who enjoys classic cars knows that this Mercedes Benz automobile. The show which Victoria Victoria had participated in in 1970 was that the KNAC (Royal Dutch Automobile Club) event.
Another interesting truth that you might wish to understand is the presence of a vehicle, quoting in the Louwman Museum site page, this Mercedes-Benz Pheaton car was once included at a exhibition of a motor show in Amsterdam at 1924 as the many classic sort of automobile.

What is more, generally because it is consistently a horse facing this that serves as propulsion, but this car is operated with an engine. So many men and women consider this vehicle as a barbarous train.
The Mercedez-Benz Victoria car can accommodate more than 6 individuals who've specifications (1 canister, 2.0 L engine, plus 5 hp electricity ). The power from this vehicle isn't too large, it's just that it may accommodate the amount of passengers hitting 6 people. Also, the place on the crankshaft is not closed which means the engine in this car has to be stopped manually before it can be lubricated.
Lots of individuals, particularly classic car fans who always expect the coming of Sri Sultan's automobile, can still return to Indonesia again? In terms of the replicate itself is that the Benz-Patent Motowagen that has come to be a resident in the Indonesian National Museum. The Head of the National Museum (Siswanto) said"what if we returned this car as it became the history of the first car in Indonesia.
This vehicle is a luxury vehicle in its time, besides that the price of this car is very costly at about 175 Mark. This car is highly popular among the people in Java since Sri Sultan always uses this car to escape his palace.

Australia caught out exporting weapons to countries accused of violations against children in war
Explosive new documents have revealed Australia is granting defence export licenses to 24 countries, many of which have a track record of child rights violations.
Freedom of Information documents obtained by SBS Dateline have shown Australia is exporting weapons to: Algeria, Angola, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Mali, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Uganda, the United Arab Emirates and Zimbabwe.
The FOI documents show that since January 2015, Australia has granted 179 defence export licences to the United Arab Emirates, and 102 to Saudi Arabia. The Government did not disclose what type of goods were exported and did not rule out weapons.
In 2019, the Saudi and Emirati-led coalition were responsible for killing or injuring at least 222 children in Yemen, and at least four incidents of attacks on schools.
Save the Children's Deputy CEO Mat Tinkler said Save the Children has written to the Defence Minister 's office to request greater transparency about what type of Australian made weapons end up where.
"It's deeply troubling to see the list of countries Australia has been approving weapons sales to in recent years," Mr Tinkler said.
"Because there is such a lack of transparency, Australians have zero assurance that our weapons do not end up killing children, or in the hands of children recruited into war."
"Our view is simple: Australia should not sell weapons to any country that violates international humanitarian law."
"Australia aspires to be among the world's top 10 defence exporters but does not have the necessary transparency around where these weapons end up."
Mr Tinkler said Save the Children is particularly concerned about Australian made weapons exported to the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Just last week, the Human Rights Council removed the power for the Group of Eminent Experts to investigate and report on human rights violations in Yemen, meaning crimes against children there will now go unrecorded.
"Without a monitoring mechanism for child rights violations in Yemen, it is ever more important that Australia is transparent about weapons sales to Saudi-led forces."
"War is becoming increasingly dangerous for children," Mr Tinkler added.
"More than 25,000 verified grave violations were committed against children last year. Over the last 10 years, more than 93,000 children have been killed or maimed in conflict. That's 25 a day. The weapons killing those children have to come from somewhere."
The Arms Trade Treaty, which Australia has signed and ratified, requires governments to ensure arms transfers are not used to commit violence against children.
Save the Children Australia is proposing enhanced safeguards to prevent any weapon or product manufactured in Australia being used in violation of international law, particularly laws that protect children in conflict.

The main carriers of the fungus are believed to be the Tam Dao or Vietnamese salamander, a.k.a. Paramesotriton deloustali, the blue tailed fire bellied newt, a.k.a. Cynops cyanurus and the Japanese fire belied newt, also known as Cynops pyrrhogaster. It could hurt populations within the United States and in North America, which accounts for the world's 48 per cent of the 676 salamander species. Among are those believed to be the most vulnerable to the fungus. The new chytrid fungus already spread from Asia to Europe is now expected to threaten the salamander species in North America. Since Bsal is incurable, Vrendenburg and his colleges at Francisco State University are calling for US Fish and Wildlife Service to put an immediate ban on live salamander import. It's an acute infection that horribly deems the salamanders into nothing but little masses of slime within three or four days.
"This is an imminent threat, and a place where policy could have a very positive effect", said study coauthor Vance Vredenburg, a biologist at San Francisco State University, in a statement.
The Center for Biological Diversity initiated an online petition in May to institute a ban, which is supported by key scientists, but the federal government has been slow to act.
Together with other colleagues, Vredenburg is asking the US Fish and Wildlife Service to prohibit the importation of live salamanders into the US immediately. "We actually have a decent chance of preventing a major catastrophe". Doc?id=3396″ >species richness, the researchers identified three zones that were at high risk for Bsal infection: "the Southeast near the southern end of the Appalachian Mountains, the Pacific Northwest and the Sierra Nevada, and the highlands in Central Mexico. While still unknown, scientists point to a similar fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatitidis (more simply claled Bd), that, since 1999, has been responsible for wiping out over 200 species of amphibians around the world. The fungus, called Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans or Bsal, kills nearly every salamander it infects.
From 2010 to 2014 there have been 419.890 salamanders imported in Los Angeles alone.
A paper describing the potential effects of the fungus on U.S. and Mexican salamanders will appear in the July 31 issue of the journal Science. There is a ray of hope, he added. "With Bd, no one could even imagine that one pathogen could cause so much damage across all these different species because we had never seen anything like that before", he said.
Based linked to new scientific studies, it is essential that often salamander imports will have to be quit due to the fact that a harmful yeast eradicates just about any salamander the item arrives communicate with to. Unfortunately, these species are very vulnerable to Bsal.

WWDC21 Recap: Everything You Missed In Apple's 2-Hour Event
By Justin Meredith 1 comment Last updated June 9, 2021
It's been two weeks since I made my WWDC21 predictions. And today, I got to see how many of those predictions came true. This is my WWDC21 recap – and it's going to be a long one.
It wasn't the longest Apple keynote ever, but by golly, did it feel like it. WWDC21 was ten minutes shy of two hours, and while a ton of exciting stuff was revealed (Universal Control!!!) a lot of really boring stuff was talked about, too.
But boring or exciting, I sat through the whole thing just for you! And in this post, I'm going to tell you everything that you missed. Well, mostly everything – but I'll explain that later.
Let's get into it!
WWDC21 Recap: The basics
WWDC21 Recap: iOS 15 and the future of machine learning
FaceTime is getting an overhaul
Notifications are getting a massive update, too
Messages will get some great quality-of-life improvements
With Live Text, your iPhone learns to read your photos
Maps will look a lot better and give you in-camera directions
Your Apple Wallet will now hold your state ID
Photos, Weather, and Spotlight are getting some love, too
WWDC21 Recap: iPadOS 15 and the odd niche of the iPad
Widgets and the App Library have arrived on iPad
The Notes app keeps getting better
Multitasking, Swift Playgrounds, and Translation are getting iPad updates
WWDC21 Recap: macOS Monterey and the "iOS-ification" of Mac
Universal Control is the most exciting macOS feature of all time
Tabs in Safari just got a lot better for tab-hoarders
Siri Shortcuts and AirPlay are (finally) coming to Mac
macOS gets most of the same updates that iPadOS and iOS 15 saw
WWDC 21 Recap: watchOS 8 is more of the same, but in a good way
WWDC21 Recap: AirPods, privacy, iCloud+, Siri, and everything else
AirPods got its first major software update (and it's big news)
Siri will now do most of its listening on-device
Privacy got its own section at WWDC21
iCloud+ is just iCloud, but a little better
Apple paid special attention to its health services and tracking across devices
How the WWDC21 recap managed to surprise us
To kick off this WWDC21 recap, I figured I start with the basics. If you don't feel like reading the novella I'm about to write, this section will cover everything for you.
Apple is still doing virtual keynotes
I remember wondering if Apple would go back to in-person keynotes after the pandemic, and with a year of hindsight, I don't think it will. The virtual keynotes have grown on me, and if we're being honest, they're a lot better than the old format.
iOS 15 was the star of the show
Although my favorite updates came to iPadOS and macOS, there's no denying that iOS was the star. You can expect nearly everything on iPhone to get a bump. New features include Live Text, which can read the text in your photos, state ID cards in Wallet, notification summaries, and a Do Not Disturb revamp.
iPadOS 15 got a pretty standard set of updates
Of the big three (iPhone, iPad, and Mac), iPadOS was the mildest update. Notes is getting a lot better, widgets and the App Library are here, and multitasking is more intuitive.
macOS Monterey only had a few updates, but they were great ones
Universal Control lets you use an iPad as a secondary display just by setting it near your Mac (it's even better than that, but I'm keeping it brief!), Siri Shortcuts and AirPlay are now on Mac, and Safari manages tabs a lot better.
Apple put a lot of focus on privacy and health
I've always thought that Apple had a unique place in the market to capitalize on its health and privacy features. This year, they dedicated whole sections of WWDC to discuss these topics, and there's a lot of great work here.
And that's it! There was a lot more announced (this doesn't do it justice at all). But those are the highlights of the WWDC21 recap.
iOS 15 is the first iPhone update in a long time that doesn't just feel like new, cool features. I can't recall seeing any releases from any tech company in the last five years that truly felt futuristic. I think people are going to look back at iOS 15 as a turning point in what we thought mobile tech could do.
I credit this to Apple finally taking advantage of the Neural Engine. This is a processor in your iPhone that allows for powerful machine learning. In the past, this was mostly used to enhance your iPhone photography. But iOS 15 harnesses this processor in ways that are mind-blowing from a techie perspective.
I plan on covering iOS 15's machine learning advancements in a separate post later this week, so enough of that! Let's get into the iOS 15 features section of this WWDC21 recap.
I correctly predicted that iOS 15 was going to focus on FaceTime. Before the pandemic, I would wager that FaceTime was a pretty unused feature of iOS.
But video calls and meetings have grown in popularity, and Apple's built FaceTime up over the last year significantly.
iOS 15 takes FaceTime to another level.
Spatial Audio will make the voices of your FaceTime callers sound three-dimensional
Voice isolation will isolate your voice on video calls, and Wide Spectrum will bring in all the outside noise you want
When FaceTiming multiple people, you can place their faces in a grid view rather than the default floating view
FaceTime now has Portrait Mode, just like in the Camera app
The FaceTime feature that deserves the most attention is SharePlay. This is a new feature coming to FaceTime that lets you watch and listen to content in sync with people on FaceTime.
For instance, you can pull up The Mandalorian on your iPhone while in FaceTime, and it will stream to the other people in your call so you can all watch it together.
SharePlay also works with Music and can share your screen. Apple has also built an API for this feature, so other developers can take advantage of it.
I wrote about an earlier this year, Airtime, that allowed you to do something similar to SharePlay. So it's great to see a built-in version of this on iPhone!
Another aspect of iOS that got a big update is notifications. This is another part of this WWDC21 recap that's almost too big to cover briefly, but I'll do my best!
Notifications will now have a customizable, smart Notification Summary. You can change the settings yourself, or let your iPhone learn what you like.
This summary will look like one giant notification that groups a bunch of lesser notifications. For example, if you get notifications from Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, and News, you probably don't want to see those notifications cluttering up your Lock Screen.
With Notification Summary, you can not only group all of these notifications but schedule when you see them.
For instance, if you only want to see these notifications first thing in the morning, you can set the summary to appear in the morning. After that, these notifications will be hidden from you throughout the day, then shown to you again the next morning.
Do Not Disturb is getting a nifty feature, too. iMessage users will now see when you have DND enabled. This lets them know that you can't see their messages, so they don't feel ignored. I always have DND turned on, so this is big!
A new DND-like feature coming to iOS 15 is Focus. Focus is an alternative to DND that lets you hide notifications based on category. So if you're working, you can turn on Work mode and only receive work-based notifications. There are similar modes for Sleep and Personal.
Focus also applies to widgets, so you can hide certain widgets depending on which Focus mode you're using.
Finally, we arrive at a more bite-sized portion of the WWDC21 recap. Messages in iOS 15 have improved, but not dramatically.
When people send you multiple photos in Messages, you'll see them in a stack or collage. This is a big improvement over the previous method of sending a long string of images.
Messages is also getting a new feature called Shared With You. This is for when people text you links to articles, videos, or songs that you want to watch, but not right this second.
Say someone sends you a song in Apple Music. You're at work, so you just reply, "Thanks, I'll check this out later!" Then later that day, you open the Music app on iPhone, scroll down, and see a section called Shared With You. Here, you'll see the music they shared with you earlier.
This feature is launching with most of Apple's default apps, and I imagine that it'll be available as an API at some point, too.
Perhaps the coolest feature that iOS 15 brings to the WWDC21 recap is Live Text. Remember how Apple added the ability for iPad to read your handwriting last year?
Well now, your iPhone can read the text in your photos. Just point your iPhone camera at any text, and you'll be able to select it. If it's a phone number, you'll be able to call it. If it's an email, you can email it!
You can use this feature to copy handwritten notes as text or detect text in photos you've already taken. You can even search for text in the Photos app. So if you have a screenshot of a recipe for an eggplant parmigiana that you can't find, you can now search for it in the Photos app.
Apple also briefly mentioned that this brings some object recognition to Photos and Camera, too. They showed a clip of someone pointing an iPhone at a dog and being able to detect what breed it was in real-time. I am a bit skeptical that this will be as polished as the text detection, but we'll see!
Live Text will work with seven languages at launch and be capable of reading cursive, handwriting, and typing.
Another app that is getting some pretty solid improvements is Maps. I predicted this too and am happy to include it in the WWDC21 recap.
Most of the updates are visual. Maps will look a lot better, with more accurate 3D renderings of environments. You'll be able to see things like overpasses and other overlapping structures in your directions now.
Transit will now be more accurate and informative. You can pin your favorite transit options, which is pretty neat. And transit options will be available on the watchOS version of Maps, too.
A limited (but exciting!) feature coming to Maps in iOS 15 is immersive walking directions. When you're walking around your city, you can point your iPhone camera around you and Maps will overlay directions on your environment.
Though impressive, this is getting a very limited release (only in a few cities). I'm sure it will go beyond that over time, but I also wouldn't expect this to be a commonplace feature anytime soon. If you don't live in a major city, you probably won't see this for another few years, if ever.
I'm happily surprised to include this announcement in my WWDC21 recap. Apple Wallet is getting support for state IDs! This means you'll be able to keep nearly your entire physical wallet in your digital Apple Wallet.
This feature will only be available in certain states to start this Fall, though I'm confident it'll eventually be available throughout the U.S. There wasn't any news about other countries, but we'll see!
Last year, Apple added the ability for your car keys to be added to Wallet. Now, you can also use this for your house and workplace keys. Hyatt Hotels are even adding this feature to help you get into your room.
Apple is also working with the TSA to check-in at the airport using your ID cards in Wallet remotely. That means you can show up at the airport, open the Wallet app, and check in without needing to go through the TSA's normal process. It's not entirely clear what this will look like yet, but it's in the works!
Finally, we get to the bits and bobs of the iOS section of the WWDC21 recap. This is everything that I felt didn't need too much attention, but should still be mentioned.
The Memories feature in Photos is getting a lot of new features. You can add music, edit and share Memories more easily, add filters, etc. If you like to share stuff on social media, this is a neat feature bump!
Spotlight search is getting substantially better on iOS. That's great since the iOS version has been lackluster for a while! Information will be richer and more helpful.
The Weather app going to see a major enhancement too. However, it's all pretty basic stuff, so you might not even notice it. It's just being updated with more modern visuals and receiving features like weather maps.
That's everything there is to know about iOS 15. Now on to the future of iPad: iPadOS 15.
I've been surprised to see a substantial number of Apple fans lauding this aspect of the WWDC21 recap, as I found iPadOS 15 to be a bit predictable. None of the features blew me away, but none are worthy of complaint either.
Alright, enough preamble – let's dive in!
The first change coming to iPadOS is the arrival of Widgets and the App Library.
Widgets have been on iPad for a few updates now, but they've been a bit lackluster, to say the least. This started to show especially after iOS 14 brought us such high-quality widgets.
Now, widgets on iPad work just like they do on iPhone. You can resize them, stack them, place them among your apps, etc.
Another iOS 14 feature that's found its way onto iPadOS 15 is the App Library. From what I can tell, this feature works just like it does on iPhone. It's a one-to-one update.
An iPad app that gets consistent attention is the Notes app. I always find this a bit odd since I don't use this app too much. But hey, Apple probably knows what it's doing!
First, the Notes app now has mentions and activity history. This is for when you share and collaborate on a note with others. You'll be able to @Person's_Name to notify them in the Notes app. And you can see what changes people have made to a note since the last time you worked on it.
A bigger feature that's come to the Notes app is Quick Note. Quick Note works with the Apple Pencil to let you add an overlaid note to any page or app on your iPad.
For example, let's say that you're looking at a recipe in Safari. You swipe up from the bottom-right corner of your iPad screen with the Apple Pencil. A little square appears, and you can write in notes for that web page.
You can revisit these notes whenever you want in the Notes app. Even cooler than that, though, is revisiting that same webpage and having the note automatically appear.
Quick Notes are app aware. That means that they appear whenever you revisit the place in an app that you created them. Kind of like leaving digital sticky notes all over your iPad.
Quick Notes is also coming to macOS, though I'm not exactly sure how they'll work since you can't use the Apple Pencil with Mac (yet).
There are a few other iPadOS updates that are pretty cool that deserve brief mentions.
Multitasking on iPadOS 15 should be a lot more intuitive. For those that don't know, this is a feature that allows you to slide an iPad app over another and/or have two apps side by side on your iPad screen.
This update is going to make it easier to use multitasking by introducing a new multitasking menu. From the menu, you can choose the app layout you want, then you'll be brought to the Home Screen to choose which apps you want to use in multitasking. Before, you were limited to whichever apps were in the iPad Dock.
Swift Playgrounds also some nice improvements. The biggest of all is the ability to create apps in the Playgrounds app that you can use on your iPad. In other words, it's the first time that you've been able to build and use apps on your iPad.
From what I can tell, this isn't quite sufficient to build "real" apps on iPad. It is a step in that direction, however, pushing the iPad steadily closer to being a real tool for developers.
Last up for iPadOS in this WWDC21 recap is Translation. Translation came to iOS in iOS 14, and now it's available on iPadOS, too. It works just like it does on iPhone. You can use it to translate text in all kinds of apps, hold live conversations, and more.
Last up on the Big Three sections of this WWDC21 recap is macOS Monterey. That's the official name for the next edition of macOS. Oddly enough, I didn't see Apple attach a number to this release. So I'm not sure if it's going to be "11.X" or if it'll be macOS 12.
This was my favorite set of feature updates, though I've always been partial to Mac. In the same way that iPad has gradually become more macOS-like, macOS is steadily becoming more iOS-like.
macOS Monterey continues the trend in some cool ways, starting with my favorite update of all time.
When Craig started to show off Universal Control during the WWDC21 keynote, everyone in my group chat started to flip. And for good reason! Universal Control is an incredible display of what happens when a company can successfully create a fully-fledged tech ecosystem.
This feature allows you to set more than one macOS or iPadOS device next to each other and immediately start using them in tandem with one another. When Craig showed this feature off, he set an iPad to the right of a MacBook. Instantly, he moved his MacBook mouse off of the right side of his MacBook screen, and it jumped onto the iPad.
He then showed that the trackpad and keyboard of his MacBook were able to control what was happening on the
Another pretty big update to macOS in this WWDC21 recap is Safari tabs. Apple came up with a few features to help people stay more organized. If you're someone who tends to have tens of tabs open, this one's for you!
macOS Monterey brings a feature called "tab groups" to Mac. This feature allows you to group tabs in folders that are similar to bookmark folders. When you click one of these folders, though, it will open all of the links in that folder as tabs in Safari.
It also looks like Safari keeps all of the tabs in these groups open in the background. So they don't need to load when you click them – they'll be right where you left them.
I tend to have different Safari windows open while I work. One for finding article images, another for research, and another for managing my assignments. Now, I could manage all of these tabs in a single Safari window using groups. And if you're like my girlfriend, you'll like being able to organize the hundreds of tabs you typically keep open.
Apple also redesigned the tab bar to be more pleasing to look at and less obtrusive.
Long overdue features are also coming to macOS in this WWDC21 recap.
The first is Siri Shortcuts. This has been on iOS and iPadOS for a few years now, so it's great to see it getting a macOS version.
Shortcuts will be replacing the Automator app on Mac. But if you use Automator, don't worry! You'll be able to transfer your Automator routines to Shortcuts with ease.
The second feature that has (finally!) arrived on Mac is AirPlay. AirPlay has been on nearly every single Apple device for so long that it's absurd that it was missing on macOS.
No longer! You can now play content from your other Apple devices on your Mac, and vice versa.
The last update to macOS in this WWDC21 recap is boring but welcome. macOS will be getting most of the same features that iPadOS and iOS are getting. This includes the updates to Messages, FaceTime, Notes, Photos, Notifications, and Focus.
Now that all of Apple's devices are using ARM-based Apple silicon, I think this is a trend that will continue. We'll start to see fewer device-specific updates. Instead, all of your Apple devices will be more or less the same, just in different form factors.
The shortest portion of my WWDC21 recap is going to be watchOS 8. watchOS hardly ever gets groundbreaking updates anymore, since the platform is so simple. Usually, if Apple Watch is going to get a big bump, it's going to come in the form of a hardware update.
That said, there is some news here.
Using data collected from studies in Apple's Research app, Apple Watch will now be able to measure your respiratory rate while you sleep. This helps catch conditions that can affect your ability to sleep.
The Workout app and Fitness+ are getting Pilates and Tai Chi workouts now, which is great.
The Photos app in watchOS 8 is going to be a lot better. And you'll be able to add portrait watch faces to your Apple Watch now. These will be intelligent watch faces that detect the difference between a person's face and the background. So you might see the time sandwiched between a person's face and the background, making the face more dynamic.
The Breathe app is being changed to the Mindfulness app, though it'll still look mostly the same. The breathing animation will be better, and a new feature is coming to this app called Reflections. This is the same as breathing with the app, except that you'll get a prompt to reflect on. Something like, "What are you grateful for today?"
I also didn't see Apple mention this at all in the WWDC21 presentation, but it was shown in an image. watchOS 8 appears to be bringing multiple timers to Apple Watch. Another one of those features that makes you look to the heavens and scream, "Finally!"
In the last section of our WWDC21 recap, we're going to cover all of the smaller (but still key) updates that Apple announced. Let's go!
AirPods have gotten some quality-of-life software updates over the years, but none so significant as this. During WWDC21, Apple announced three new features coming to AirPods.
The first is Conversation Boost. This is a feature that, while useful for anyone, seems aimed at the hard at hearing. It uses the microphones on AirPods to detect when other people are talking to you, then singles out their voice, boosts it, and reduces background noise.
It's customizable, so you can choose to alter the volume of speakers and ambient noise as you wish.
The next feature is Notification Announcements. This feature will read out time-sensitive notifications to you from your iPhone while ignoring less critical notifications. This allows you to have your iPhone somewhere else in your home while still staying connected to your notifications.
This feature is also customizable, so you can choose which notifications your AirPods read to you.
Thirdly, the AirPods integration with FindMy has been seriously improved. While not as robust as AirTags are (that would require a hardware update), AirPods can now send out an encrypted Bluetooth signal to other users' Apple devices. This will help you pinpoint your AirPods even if you're nowhere near them.
Your AirPods will also notify you if you become separated from them. So if they fall out of your pocket at the park, you should get a notification before you make it back to your car.
Another major update came to Siri. Siri will now do most of its listening on your device.
Before, Siri would connect to Apple's servers, send your voice data to the server, process your request, then send back the appropriate action to your device.
Now, Siri will listen, process, and act on your request, no server required. This means you can use Siri without an internet connection. It'll also make Siri faster and more private. You may remember a scandal from a year or so ago when it came out that Apple employees were listening to anonymous Siri requests. No more!
Another neat feature coming to Siri is additional voices. While Apple didn't directly say it, it's clear that these new voices are meant to be more inclusive. That means more options for everyone, so while small, it's a welcome update.
For the first time that I can remember, privacy is getting its own section in the WWDC21 recap. In addition to just generally talking about privacy, Apple added some key features throughout its software and services that are privacy-centric.
First, Mail is going to allow you to block hidden tracking in emails. Emails sometimes include "hidden pixels", which collect and store data on you. You'll have the option to disable this now, which is great.
Second, Safari will now hide your IP address. That's huge, as it'll go a long way towards hiding your internet activity.
Thirdly, third-party apps are now going to get the same privacy report that can be found in Safari. In Safari, you can click the privacy report badge to see how many trackers Safari has blocked for you. With these updates, third-party apps will be able to add their own privacy reports.
The fourth privacy update comes in the shape of iCloud+, which deserves its own section.
Apple announced iCloud+ at WWDC21, which I thought was going to be a massive update. But I think it's more of a rebranding of iCloud since it's fundamentally the same. You don't have to pay anything extra to use it; the prices are the same as iCloud, and your current iCloud subscription will become an iCloud+ subscription automatically.
Some new features are coming with iCloud+, and they're all tied to privacy.
The first is the ability to hide your iCloud email address. You'll be able to generate a random email every time you're asked for your email address online. This random email will forward emails to your address. And you can delete the random address at any time. This allows you to avoid your email being leaked and to stop receiving spam whenever you want.
The second feature is Privacy Relay. This feature encrypts your Safari usage at all times. At home or in public, your Safari usage will be private, even from Apple.
Thirdly, Apple finally added account recovery to iCloud. You can give specific contacts in your iPhone the ability to help you recover your account. You can specify legacy contacts, too, which are people who will be given access to your iCloud account and assets after you pass away.
Last but not least, Apple dedicated a portion of the WWDC21 recap to its health services. They worked with healthcare professionals to create features that help with detecting heart issues and falling.
Features were also added that make it easier to share your health data with your healthcare provider and family members.
And that's it! That is everything Apple announced at WWDC, making this the end of my WWDC21 recap. Boy, was it a long one!
There were a few other announcements made, specifically to HomeKit, but none that I felt deserved their own section.
While some of my predictions were met, Apple managed to include some features that I don't think anyone saw coming. It has me extremely excited for the public betas and, in September, the general releases of these software updates.
That's all for now! Myself and the rest of the team here are going to be posting about WWDC21 all week long. So be sure to check back here for deep dives, opinions, and news as we get a better idea of what these updates mean.
See you then!

The 5 best Dream Team World Cup assets with an ownership below 5%
8th December 2022, 4:22 pm
Updated: 8th December 2022, 4:30 pm
We've all got while away the hours of these World Cup rest days somehow.
Here we've assembled the five best Dream Team World Cup assets with an ownership below 5% for your perusal.
Before we get into it, just a note to say that we've omitted players who have been eliminated since the primary focus is on potentially savvy differentials ahead of the quarter-finals.
Right, without further ado…
5 Dominik Livakovic
£3million
1.6% ownership
The 2018 runners-up may lack potency in the final third but they're resolute in defence.
Livakovic kept two clean sheets in the group stages, against Morocco and Belgium, and he claimed the Star Man award in the round of 16 after his penalty shootout heroics to eliminate Japan.
The Dinamo Zagreb keeper has been alert between the sticks and will surely have to be at his best to frustrate Brazil in the quarter-finals.
4 Noussair Mazraoui
A right-back by trade, the Bayern Munich resident happily shifts over to the left for his country so that Walid Regragui can play a certain ice-cold PSG full-back in his specialist position (more on him later).
Mazraoui is able to adjust seamlessly when asked to switch flanks; his diligent defending and positional discipline have made the Atlas Lions an awkward team to play against – just ask Spain!
The 25-year-old has registered 7+ ratings in all three of Morocco's clean sheets so far (he blanked versus Canada) and has offered excellent value for money at just £2m.
Captain Fantastic!
3 Romain Saiss
Morocco's skipper was quite literally defending on one leg against Spain in extra time when it looked for the all the world that he would be substituted with a hamstring issue.
Whether the ex-Wolves defender will be fit enough to lead his nation against Portugal on Saturday remains to be seen but it's clear his absence would be a huge blow for the North Africans.
Saiss scored his side's first goal in the historic win over Belgium in their opening game and he's been at the heart of three clean sheets alongside Nayef Aguerd (£2.5m).
Again, what a bargain he's been at £2m.
2 Achraf Hakimi
The third and final Moroccan and the best of all!
Panenka penalty hero, inexhaustible talisman, resident superstar… Hakimi fulfils so many roles for his country and he's been fully deserving of the praise he's received in the last fortnight.
The 24-year-old has arguably been the best player in his position on display in Qatar – his average match of rating of 7.47 puts him among the best performers overall according to WhoScored.
Harry Maguire is the only defender with more points (33) than the PSG star and England's No6 features in 21.3% of teams.
The man of the hour
1 Goncalo Ramos
It makes perfect sense why the 21-year-old marksman has such a low ownership.
Prior to the events of the round of 16 he was somebody who came off the bench after the 80th minute.
But Fernando Santos' decision to start Ramos over Cristiano Ronaldo (£7m) against Swizterland was emphatically justified when the Benfica forward bagged a hat-trick.
He also registered an assist for his efforts, banking 30 points in one fell swoop!
Ramos' ownership has risen from 0.1% to 2.5% as a response and will probably increase further if (when) he's selected to start against Morocco on Saturday.

The '''Big Bad''' is the most prominent, powerful, and dangerous villain in a story, and is often responsible for most of the conflict that drive the plot. If there is a hierarchy of villains, the Big Bad is at the very top of it, and may be in control of most or all of the heroes' other enemies. Sometimes, the Big Bad can work from behind the scenes. However, as long as the most prominent antagonists of a story work for someone who was present all along, or who is setting their course of action, then this someone is the Big Bad.

Villainous Overview
The Big Bad
The Big Bad is the most prominent, powerful, and dangerous villain in any story, and is often responsible for most of the conflict that drive the plot. If there is a hierarchy of evildoers, the Big Bad is at the very top of it, and may be in control of most or all of the heroes' other enemies. Sometimes, the Big Bad can work from behind the scenes. However, as long as the most prominent antagonists of a story work for someone who was present all along, or who is setting their course of action, then this someone is the Big Bad.
In some cases, there may be a Bigger Bad, who is more powerful and/or evil than the Big Bad, but is much less involved in the plot and only appears briefly, maintaining the Big Bad as the most prominent and recurring villain in the story. Although sometimes Bigger Bads can act as the final boss of the story.The Big Bad can also be the Heavy but often times it is his own right-hand or enforce to make them more mysterious.
There are also the case of the Big Bad Duumvirate when two villains of equal importance form a team and share the role, and the Big Bad Ensemble when several villains of equal importance further their goals on their own, usually in a competition.They are Also the Overarching Villains for the Myth arc as they appear the most times.
If there is a villain-based franchise about the Big Bad appearing the most then they are the Big Bad and villainous protagonist.
A villain can only truly qualify as a Big Bad if the story has multiple antagonists and is of sufficient "scope". In other words, not all stories have a Big Bad, and villains cannot be labeled Big Bads when they are the only antagonist in the story.
Big Bads can ONLY be also labeled as Bigger Bads when they are involved in spin-offs in which one of their followers/another villain takes the role of Big Bad. Big Bad Duumvirate and Big Bad Ensemble DO NOT count when these villain are not on equal footing in term of threat and prominence; or when one of these villains is the biggest threat for most of the story.

A couple of irons are in the fire in OUA men's hockey.
"Guelph assistant coach Jim Clancy told me the team is floating the idea of hockey double-headers with OUA schools which also have OHL teams in their city. For example, Queen's comes to Guelph the same night the Frontenacs do to play the Storm. The OUA game is played first, the OHL game second — or vice versa. If you're the OUA, it's something worth working on."
All university leagues need to be trying to reach out to the casual fans who might only be there a couple times a season.
Getting the schedules lined up is not that hard. For instance, Regina hosted Alberta this weekend in Canada West hockey on the same night the Regina Pats played the Edmonton Oil Kings. In Ontario, Carleton and Queen's, and the OHL's Kingston Frontenacs and Ottawa 67's were each slated to play on the same night this week.
(Those latter two games were snowed out. That prompted some wiseacre on the Queen's student station, CFRC 101.9, to comment that the last-place Frontenacs and the Golden Gaels, the lowest-scoring team in the OUA, should have played each other to see if it was possible to have a game end 0-0 in a shutout. Of course, Queen's scored nine goals in a pair of wins this weekend and the Frontenacs upset John Tavares and the London Knights on a goofy goal on Friday.
Realignment: The OUA, like the home ec teacher in Superbad, didn't invent odd numbers, but it has to figure out how to divide 19 teams when Nipissing, located in North Bay, begins play next season. Former York SID Mike Koreen, now sports editor at the Kingston Whig-Standard, noted realignment is on the table in a column on Saturday.
Honestly, a three-division alignment makes some sense. Geographically, Nipissing could slide into the Far East with the Ottawa and Quebec schools. A six- or seven-team Central Division could be carved out of the schools located close to Lake Ontario (Ontario Tech, Queen's, RMC, Ryerson, Toronto and York). Brock or Guelph can kind of go either way, meaning one of them would have the fun job of joining the loaded Far West division.
Using Canada West basketball's playoff format -- three divisions, a wild card, and hosting rotating between divisions -- might work for a Frozen Four.
That link about realignment is from a feature on Kaley Powers, a forward on the No. 2-ranked Laurier women's team who's from Kingston. That appeared before Powers scored the lone goal in the Golden Hawks' 1-0 win over Toronto.
I like the idea of a 'frozen four' tournament, but, I don't think it will solve the problems in the oua. The problem with the oua is that the 4 best teams are all in the same division, there needs to be a solution so that the oua will actually send its top teams to the nationals, and not just the top team plus a team from the east. The far-west teams need to play the far-east teams thru-out the regular season to get a proper ranking system. AND, in the playoffs the teams need to cross over (far-east and far-west) so the weak teams from the east can be eliminated before the finals takes place. In other words, if the 4 best teams are Laurier, Western, Lakehead and Waterloo then those are the teams that should compete in the finals … Canada West and the AUS have already figured this out, why can't the oua?
I dont understand what your trying to say the original article suggests a three division system that would break down into the top teams making it to the finals through a divisional and wild card system representing the OUA.
Ah, it was just an idea to throw out there. Most likely they go to 2.

Purl Soho's new Season Alpaca redefines cozy. Soft as a newborn baby's head, this 100% baby alpaca is irresistible to touch and absolutely beautiful to behold.
A classically plied sportweight, at 6 to 7 stitches per inch on size US 3 to 5 needles, Season Alpaca is thinner than our Alpaca Pure but has a gentle heft that gives it just the right drape.
We love Season Alpaca for almost anything you can think of knitting or crocheting. Okay, maybe not dishtowels, but sweaters, hats, blankets, mittens, scarves, and cowls are all perfect candidates for this not-too-heavy, not-too-fuzzy, not-too-hot, totally timeless pure alpaca.
Each skein of Season Alpaca is 218 yards, enough to make a hat with one skein, or with three, our gorgeous Trellis Scarf (shown above in rosy Honey Pink), or with five, our Trellis Wrap (above in classic Meadow Mushroom).
Season Alpaca comes in fourteen colors, all inspired by nature's cycles and most stirring moments. A favorite is Burnt Sienna, above. It exudes warmth and character and recalls autumn's evening light on a hillside afire with color.
Above, Lavender Moon and Peach Stone are two more beauties. They seem naturally drawn to each other, one airy and elegant, the other earthy and warm, bringing out the best in each other.
In both solids and subtle heathers, Season Alpaca's palette refers to favorite moments in nature's boundless activities: a blooming peony, a still pond, a nesting dove. Make your own associations!
We're thrilled by the beauty of our newest yarn. It glows with its own inner light and is, for us, exactly what we want to knit this season. Browse the entire palette of Season Alpaca and enjoy this incredible yarn in one of nature's most incredible fibers!
This looks lovely. Though I like these colors you have not had much in greens for a while! These colors are yummy looking will have to try some soon!
Thanks for the suggestion! This yarn is brand new, so keep an eye out for new patterns in the coming months!
I am a beginner and purchased this yarn. I find this pattern a little beyond my skill. could you direct me to another scarf pattern with a 5 needle and this yarn that is a little more straight forward.
Thanks for writing in and welcome to the knitting world! I would suggest trying our Broken Garter Scarf. It uses a similar weight yarn and size 5 needles. The pattern itself is a simple repeat of knits and a purl stitch and I think would be lovely in Season Alpaca!
Would this yarn be appropriate for adult socks?
You could use these for adult socks, they would knit up rather thick so they would be tight in a shoe these would be more of a house sock something you would wear while being cozy at home.
Do you think the Striped Spring Sweater would be a good pattern for this yarn? I purchased some the other day to make the baby socks and am in love.
Thank you for your question! I'm thrilled to hear you love this yarn as much as we do. Were you thinking of using it as a substitute for the Mulberry Merino? Season alpaca is a bit thinner than Mulberry Merino, so you might have to play around with gauge a bit. If you feel comfortable with that then I say go for it!
I don't have my pattern so I need to know how many yards are in your skeins and the net weight.
Our Season Alpaca skins are 218 yards and 100 grams.
