URI Theatre investigates whodunit comedy with 'Clue: On Stage'

KINGSTON, R.I. – Nov. 23, 2021 – Was it Miss Scarlet in the conservatory with the rope or Col. Mustard in the billiards room with the candlestick?
Either way, Mr. Boddy probably won't survive the night as the University of Rhode Island Theatre Department brings the whodunit, "Clue: On Stage," to the Robert E. Will Theatre starting Thursday, Dec. 2.
"Clue: On Stage" is written by Sandy Rustin, based on the screenplay by Jonathan Lynn for the 1985 Paramount Pictures motion picture, with additional material by Hunter Foster and Eric Price and original music by Michael Holland. The cult classic film was, of course, based on the board game by Hasbro, which is sponsoring URI Theatre's 2021-2202 season.
If you've played the game or seen the film, you know the basics. On a fittingly dark and stormy night, the usual suspects with colorful nicknames – Mrs. Peacock, Mrs. White, Prof. Plum, and Mr. Green, along with Scarlet and Mustard – are mysteriously summoned by Boddy to his mansion.
Greeted by the butler, Wadsworth, the cook and the maid, the six strangers learn that Boddy is blackmailing them. Threatening to expose his guests, Boddy gives each a weapon – a candlestick, knife, lead pipe, revolver, rope and wrench – and suggests that someone kill Wadsworth. The lights go dark, a gunshot rings out, and when the lights go on, Mr. Boddy is apparently dead on the floor. The energetic slapstick comedy takes off from there.
"It's visually very funny. It's very well written and the comedy is clean and crisp, so the audiences are going to enjoy that," said director Don Mays. "Most people are familiar with 'Clue.' So, things that they're familiar with are brought to life in a way that is bigger than life. Big, broad comedies like this are always fun to do and always fun to watch."
"'Clue' is a laugh-out-loud murder mystery that will have the audience on the edge of its seat," said Liam Roberts, of Warwick, who plays Wadsworth. "The cast and crew have been working incredibly hard to make this truly larger than life show a reality."
Mays, a member of the Wilbury Theatre Group who is directing his first play at URI, is well-versed in comedy, having directed and written comedic plays and done stand-up. He saw the design for the set before starting rehearsals and that helped frame his direction, he said. The set, designed by Assistant Professor James Horban, re-creates a mansion in the 1950s with six rooms that are moved on stage as part of the choreography of the actors.
"Working with a production team has been amazing," said Mays. "And the students have been phenomenal. They bring their energy and their creativity into the theater. It's very exciting to have that much support in a production, especially in a production of this size."
In rehearsals, Mays encouraged actors to experiment as they discovered their characters, including working on different interpretations of their characters and creating the teamwork needed in an ensemble production.
"Don has said from the start that our rehearsal process is a laboratory for us to try things and see what works," said Riley Nedder, a junior majoring in theatre and English. "We spent several rehearsals playing around with physicality and voices to try and figure out our characters. He even had me do an entire rehearsal doing Muppet impressions to get comfortable with playing around."
Nedder plays Mrs. White, a socialite who may have killed her husband and who is snarky, intimidating, and unhinged. "She's been such a fun role to play," said the Attleboro, Massachusetts, resident. "She's definitely outside the realm of what I usually do. I consider myself to be more of a dramatic actor so getting to work on a physical and ensemble comedy has been the best kind of challenge."
Roberts, a sophomore secondary education and Italian major, wanted to be in "Clue" after seeing a production of it over the summer. "What makes 'Clue' so cool is its embrace of witty, quick, and sharp humor that was evident in the film that the play is based on," he said.
His character, Wadsworth, is the quintessential British butler, a role he fell in love with after seeing the amount of energy it takes to play the role. "I like to think I can bring that level of energy and command to the stage," he said, "not to mention he is required to have a British accent. Accents are one of my favorite parts about character work."
Along with the set, all the design elements play their parts in telling the story, Mays said. With six weapons alone, the play has a lot of props, which need to be readable to the audience and look realistic in the actors' hands. And the costumes – for 13 actors playing a total of 15 characters – need to fit the period, mesh with the character's colorful name, and be pliable enough for the actors to move comfortably in a very physical play.
Costume designer Matthew Oxley, who graduates in December with a degree in theater, put aside finishing a major in math this semester to add new sewing techniques in a Textiles, Fashion Merchandising and Design course.
"I'm having a blast designing 'Clue' and learning the tricks of the trade," said Oxley, of South Kingstown. "It took me a long time to take the leap. I now know that costume design is my first love and will always inspire me, even though I'm also an acting concentrate and a math minor."
Oxley has designed costumes for the Burbage Theatre Company in Pawtucket and for a student play and was assistant designer on URI's production of "Noises Off," another screwball comedy. For "Clue," he's working with the Theatre Department's costume shop to design many original pieces, including most of the dresses, along with pulling pieces from the shop's stock to design the show's look.
"I knew I wanted to design a show my final semester and go out with a bang," said Oxley, a fan of the board game as a child who still treasures his family's copy of the game. "High-octane comedies really give a designer free reign to go all out wild and not hold back. The characters are so over the top in this show and there's nothing more fun than crazy costumes for crazy characters in a crazy world."
"Clue: On Stage" runs Dec. 2-4 and Dec. 9-11 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 5 and 12 at 2 p.m. in Robert E. Will Theatre at the Fine Arts Center, 105 Upper College Road, Kingston Campus. Tickets are $20 for general admission and $15 for senior citizens and URI students, faculty and staff. Tickets can be purchased at the URI Theatre box office in the Fine Arts Center or by calling (401) 874-5843.

Dietetics is the study of food and nutrition and the role it plays in maintaining your overall health.
Dietetics is a branch of medicine that has seen a rise in demand in recent times and it is expected to grow further. Professionals in this field are called dietitians and are employed in hospitals, patient care facilities, food industry and are also hired as private staff. In some places, they are also referred to as nutritionist but in practice, the two job titles are very different.
Their sole responsibility is monitoring and enforcing a nutrition based diet depending upon the patient's needs. They make medical charts and meal plans as per the patient's condition along with their family members or care providers. Keep in mind that every patient's needs are different than others. A dietician's second core responsibility is to diagnose and treat nutritional problems that a patient may be suffering from.
Dieticians are also responsible for overseeing the preparation of the food and monitor whether all health and safety standards are complied with. The study of diet is mainly concerned with the effects of diet intake on your overall health.
There isn't just one kind of dietetics. There are several specializations in this field ranging from clinical dieticians, community dieticians, food service dieticians, neonatal dieticians, gerontological dietician, pediatric dieticians, administrative dieticians and several others. The core responsibility remains the same, the plan of action with patient type differs.

Day Zero: Arrive and Acclimatise
You'll arrive in Cusco, ready for your private hotel transfer. Then it's time to acclimatise to this seductive city, 3,399m above sea level. Packed with ancient temples, colonial mansions and grand cathedrals, the former Incan capital is the perfect place to start an adventure.
Overnight in Cusco
Classic - Suenos del Inka Hotel
Premium - Novotel Cusco
Deluxe - Palacio Del Inka
Meals included: None
Day One: Into the Inca Empire
Time for a morning foray into Cusco's fascinating history, on a guided walk that takes in its most famous monuments. You'll start in the grand main square of the Plaza des Armas, visiting its cathedral before wandering down tiny alleys and past high Incan walls on your way to the most important temple of Inca times: Coricancha, the Temple of the Sun.
The afternoon is free for further exploration. You might like to take an optional excursion through the Incan ruins dotted around Cusco. The adventure starts at the old citadel of Sacsayhuaman, which has spectacular views down towards the city. Then you'll visit the mysterious temple of Qenqo, carved from a single monolith and thought to be the site of grizzly death rituals. Finally, it's time to see the calm, fortress ruins at Puka Pukara and the aqueducts and waterfalls at Tambomachay, believed by some to be a spa resort for the ancient Incan elite. (For costs, please see the Extras tab).
Day Two: Village Life
Journey into the lush green landscape of the Sacred Valley, to find out about life outside the city, both ancient and modern. The first stop on your day-long adventure will be Moray, where a mysterious pattern of circular terraces (thought to be an Incan agricultural laboratory) blends beautifully into the surrounding foothills.
After that, visit the spectacular terraced salt flats at Maras, which have been harvested since pre-Incan times. Situated at the mouth of a ravine, they're a holiday must-snap. In Maras village, you'll spend time with a local family who will teach you the art of decorating Peruvian ceramics during a private workshop: you'll leave with your own ornament as a souvenir. Your final stop on the excursion will be the village of Ollantaytambo, occupied since the 13th century and nicknamed the 'Last Inca Village in Peru'. Life continues largely unchanged in its cobbled streets and squares. You'll visit the fortress ruins that climb into the mountains above the village (where the Incans defeated the conquistadors in battle). Then you'll get an insight into daily life here, spending time in a typical Ollantaytambo home that's been occupied by the same family for generations.
Day Three: To Machu Picchu
You'll take a car to Ollantaytambo, ready to board the fast train to the Machupicchu Park. After checking documents with the rangers, it's time for a three-hour Inca Trail trek past tumbling waterfalls, rare orchids and mountain birds, towards the steeply terraced ruins of Wiñaywayna, 9514 feet above sea level. You'll break for a packed lunch here and have time to explore the ruins and their museum, as well as Inti Punku, the Inca Gate of the Sun, from where you'll get your first glimpse of the incredible site of Machu Picchu. After that, you'll cross the rainforested ridge towards one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of modern times. Once there, you'll have time to learn more about the city and explore its many monuments, before taking the bus down to Agua Calientes, your home for the night.
Overnight in Aguas Calientes
Classic - Hotel Casa Andina Standard Machu Picchu
Premium - Hotel El Mapi by Inkaterra
Deluxe - Inkaterra Machu Pueblo Hotel
Meals included: Breakfast; packed lunch; dinner
Day Four: Exploring the Lost City
Having got your bearings yesterday, you'll board an early morning shuttle bus to Machu Picchu for a guided exploration of the site. You'll find out about its discovery by Hiram Bingham, as well as the theories on the mysteries surrounding how and why it was built. You'll also adventure through its main plaza, Temple of Three Windows, Circular Tower, sacred sundial and burial grounds. After your morning's exploration, you'll leave your guide and board the Vistadome train from Aguas Calientes to Poroy station in Cusco. The train has panoramic windows, allowing passengers incredible views over snow-capped mountains which segue to green-swathed foothills, tiny villages and forgotten ruins. Upon arrival in Cusco, you'll be transferred to your hotel.
Day Five: Towards Lake Titicaca
Leave Cusco for the final time, on the long bus journey to the city of Puno, on the shore of Lake Titicaca. You'll break up the journey with plenty of stops, accompanied by the tour-bus guide. First, at the sleepy town of Andahuaylillas, you'll see the 'Sistine Chapel of the Americas', an intricately-decorated 16th-century church that's packed with murals and gold leaf. Then you'll visit Raqchi, home to the country's only surviving adobe Incan ruins. Finally, in the enchanting little town of Pukara, you'll have lunch at a local restaurant, shop for the town's famous 'Toritos de Pucara' pottery and see the pre-Incan treasures of the Museu Litico de Pucara. Upon arrival in Puno, you'll be transferred to your hotel, ready to explore Lake Titicaca in the morning.
Overnight in Puno
Classic - Hotel Hacienda Puno
Premium - Sonesta Posadas Del Inca Lago Titicaca Puno
Deluxe - Hotel Libertador Lago Titicaca
Meals included: Breakfast; lunch
Day Six: Life on the Lake
You'll be picked up at your hotel and taken to Puno's dock, ready for a day-long boat trip on Lake Titicaca, the world's highest navigable lake. First stop is the Uros Islands: these manmade reed islands, floating within the Titicaca National Reserve, are named after the builders who have lived here for centuries, maintaining their traditional way of life and living in small houses that they also weave from the reeds. Next, you'll head for the island of Taquile, whose inhabitants still speak the Incan language of Quechua. You'll notice their colourful clothing, made using weaving techniques that are central to their culture and practised by everyone. You can buy some garments for yourself, or simply savour the uniqueness of the unspoiled landscape: there are no roads, only agricultural terraces and paved walking paths that criss-cross the countryside. On clear days, you can see as far as Bolivia from the highest point in the island, at almost 4,050m. After your boat trip, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Puno.
Day Seven: Homeward Bound
There's the chance to see the pre-Incan cemetery of Sillustani on your way back to the airport. In a dream-like setting on the shore of Lake Umayo, backed by the wild emptiness of the Altiplano, these funerary towers stand sentinel high above the water. There will be time to explore, before driving onwards towards Juliaca and the airport.

The latest season of M2AIR children's art residencies concluded this weekend with a group show of work by all four residents that worked as part of this programme, with the assistance of sous-artists Megan Clark-Bagnall and Ali Brown. After an initial community day discussing potential themes, and during which applications were placed by many aspiring artists, permissions of leave from school were sought and the final four were selected. Lisha (8), Charlie (9) would share the first residency slot, and Todd (10), and Malakai (10) would occupy the second. Each artist spent two days at The Point, in the Bath suburb of Foxhill, working on ideas for their own individual exhibitions, before coming together for the group show at the end of the season.The final two days of the month long project gave the artists an opportunity to revisit the work they produced during their residency, making any necessary tweaks, and to consolidate their ideas around a central theme which would give the final group show its title, Perspective is Everything.
On Friday afternoon, Malakai presented The Magic Post Box, which comprised three elements: a writing station, where viewers could participate in the work by writing down their achievements on an envelope; the post box itself, where participants could post their envelopes, and a story element, in which a squirrel named Keith climbed a mountain that turned out to be a journey of personal growth. Malakai told us of the visual link he had made between the design of the opening side of an envelope and a mountain with a cloud on top, and how that had inspired this project, which was accompanied by an audio recording of the artist himself giving some motivational words about how even small achievements can feel like mountains we've climbed. The Magic Post Box allows the viewer to take pride in even their smallest achievements.
Saturday saw presentations from the three remaining artists. First, Lisha presented her Cake of Happiness. Visitors to the exhibition were invited to take part in a treasure hunt around a nearby park, which resulted in the discovery of six ingredients that make up a neighbourhood, from 'a million sprinkles of sharing' to 'a spread of kindness everywhere'. Once collected, these ingredients were added to a mixing bowl and 'baked for half an hour to rise together'. The top Lisha's enormous cake featured a row of houses around the edge, and in the centre miniature models of Lisha and Charlie holding hands. Keith the squirrel popped up again, this time with the key to a door on the side of Lisha's cake, revealing inside a real cake, from which visitors were invited to take a slice.
Next up was Charlie, whose work centred around self-care, and provided us all with a reminder of how important it is to look after ourselves. Charlie, whose immersive work was titled Space in Space, built a tepee in the park which featured a worry shredder, stars on which visitors could write their wishes before hanging from the roof of the tepee, and a reading corner which included Charlie's favourite books and an tranquil audio recording of a blackbird singing. Charlie's presentation ended with an emotional ceremonial burial of everyone's worries.
Todd – whose name begins with T and ends with odd – was the final artist to present his work. His love of nature shone through as his installation piece, The Clay Station, invited people to make their own clay animals and add them to the forest, where a certain squirrel named Keith was also residing, before taking part in some tests Todd had set around his woodland diorama, and a word-link game that always seemed to come round to bodily functions and other unmentionable subject matter.
At the end of it all, when the Ribena had been drunk dry, and hungry hands had scraped the bottom of the biscuit barrel, each artist was presented with their artistic license, and an artist's statement that summed up their work and its motivations.
Be it for the warmth of Lisha and Malakai's work, of whom both celebrated the value of each other's contributions and achievements, or Charlie's one-person space (unless you're brother and sister, in which case you can both go inside together) which drew on personal experiences as a reminder of how best to look after and value ourselves, or Todd's work, which regarded nature itself as a source of happiness and inspiration, Perspective is Everything is without doubt the kind of exhibition that visitors will continue to think about and discuss long after everything is taken down and packed away.
Disclosure: I spent some time working with M2AIR and the children mentioned in this review, in order to write their artist's statements and to produce this review. It was a delight!


As I stood in front of the racks and racks and racks of duvet covers (while Ike melted down t-10 seconds to naptime), I thought about how I'm supposed to buy a blanket instead of a duvet cover, because duvet covers are so fall 2010. But all I saw were duvet covers. About 5237866 of them. And I know I probably should have gone home and bought a blanket off the interwebs, but I was under pressure from fluorescent lighting and toddler tantrums. Plus I'm tired of looking at the stupid mauge comforter (suspiciously close to this color) on our giant bed. So there I stood -- endlessly, painfully pondering the duvet cover conundrum.
And then I put it down, because it had flowery flowers on it and I suspected it would not play well with the giant black panther picture hanging beside our bed. Or the Oriental nightstands. Or the chrome bench. Or pretty much anything in that room.
I bought a white duvet cover. It's not even worth picturing. It's white.
Just kidding. It's pretty, but I have too much stuff to live in here.
I have a new plan. It has elements of crazy, but also supports the new white duvet cover theory formula corollary.
Alas, we'll have to discuss it ad infinitum later because I have to go to a biggo photo job right now... someone has to pay for all that crap I bought at Ikea.
Have a good Monday. Do some psycho shopping for me.

What is AT LAST!?
Why do you call it a 'Boarding Experience'?
To describe what AT LAST! does (boarding), while distinguishing it from a 'Boarding School.' AT LAST! is not a school. A Scholar-In-Residence attends the school chosen by his/her parent/guardian. During the school year, on Sunday afternoon at 3:00pm, he/she comes to the neighborhood AT LAST! residence to gain access to the type of optimized developmental ecosystem (and educational resources and tools) that are enjoyed by kids who are members of more affluent families, and stays the night. The next school morning, he/she awakens in the AT LAST! House, goes to school, returns to the AT LAST! House once the school day ends, and starts the process again until Friday after Schoo, when they go to their primary home (see answer to next question).
When are the Scholars-In-Residence at the AT LAST! Residence and when are they at home?
During the school year, a Scholar-In-Residence goes to the AT LAST! Residence each Sunday during the afternoon and returns (after school) each day until Friday. After school on Friday, each Scholar-In-Residence returns home for the weekend. He/she is also at home during each holiday and for the full summer. Bottom line: A Scholar-In-Residence spends more days at home with his/her family during a year than at the AT LAST! Residence.
How many kids will be participating in AT LAST! in the Overton location, and what age group will AT LAST! serve?
AT LAST!'s Overton location will begin with one residence, and there will be 16 Scholars-In-Residence in that residence. Over time, the number of Scholars-In-Residence will increase at the Overton location. Given the importance of Early Childhood Education, AT LAST!'s Scholars-In-Residence will be elementary school-aged (1st-through-6th grade). Initially, AtLast! will focus on 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. The program will be offered to 1st and 2nd graders once AtLast! builds its next house on Overton Road.
Is AT LAST! open and delivering program services currently?
Yes. AT LAST! Began providing program services to its first Scholars-In-Residence during the spring semester of 2021 at its Overton Road location (405 E. Overton Road, Dallas, TX 7516).
Is AT LAST! a Boarding Experience for 'troubled' kids who need to be remediated or isolated from peers and/or family?
No. AT LAST! is an urban Boarding Experience in the vein of Boarding Schools targeting better academic outcomes from students whose families have high aspirations for them. Its mission is not therapeutic and not punitive. Is not a place built and designed for bad or troubled kids, and it's not a program to "rescue" kids from "bad" parents. It is a program for good parents and grandparents who value education. They believe in their child's ability to learn and are willing to make sacrifices to help him/her get better educational outcomes. Kids can only enter AT LAST! If their parent or grandparent decides AT LAST! is a good resource for their family. Thus, AT LAST! (will not accept coercive or mandatory placement of kids from courts, agencies, etc.).
Will I need to send my child away to get him/her involved in AT LAST!?
No. AT LAST! is a neighborhood-based Boarding Experience, and each AT LAST! Residence is designed to serve the kids who live in the immediately-surrounding neighborhood. Part of the appeal of AT LAST! is that the child will remain in close proximity to the family at all times.
How does a child become accepted as a Scholar-In-Residence in AT LAST!?
Apply when an AT LAST! Residence is accepting applications in your city. If more kids who meet the criteria apply than AT LAST! can accommodate, a lottery admissions process will determine which applicants are granted admission. AtLast! has slots for 16 Scholars-In-Residence. It has periodic application windows, and conducts lottery admissions processes when needed to fill open slots.
Is there a cost to a parent/guardian to have a Scholar-In-Residence participate in AT LAST!?
AT LAST! does not 'charge' a parent/guardian a 'fee' for a Scholar-In-Residence to participate in AT LAST!. However, a parent/guardian will be expected to help make AT LAST! available for his/her child with 'in-kind' contributions (e.g., helping tidy up the area in the AT LAST! Residence where his/her child sleeps, communicating with AT LAST! stakeholders, etc.).
Will AT LAST! serve families beyond Dallas?
Yes. First, AT LAST! will first prove its premise at its Overton Road location in Dallas. Then, AT LAST! will scale and serve as a model to improve educational outcomes in other urban areas across America.
Will AT LAST! be licensed by the State of Texas?
Yes, operations like AT LAST!'s are regulated by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, and cannot operate unless it has a license from that department.
How can I do my part to help make AT LAST! a reality?
Please take as many of the following actions as suit you: Go to www.atlastboarding.com, navigate to 'How Can I Help?' and indicate the areas in which you would be comfortable helping. Go to Facebook, search for 'AT LAST!' and 'Like' the page. Serve as an informal, deputized 'brand ambassador' for AT LAST! by spreading the word that AT LAST! exists and that it is helping its Scholars-In-Residence achieve significant improvement in their educational outcomes.
Learn More About AT LAST! And Its Scholar-in-Residence Program
You can help by joining this movement to empower great parents to equip their children for the future. During the home life portion of a school day, AT LAST!s Scholars-In-Residence need access to the same types of educational resources and tools as the children of the more affluent. Please tell us all of the ways you feel you can help AT LAST! make that happen for them:
I can introduce you to a great parent, guardian or grandparent in need of empowerment. I can contribute money to AT LAST! (or otherwise help raise money). I can contribute supplies, materials or other goods that AT LAST! needs. I can engage in conventional communications for AT LAST! (e.g., make calls, write letters, etc.).
I can contribute time and volunteer for AT LAST!. I can contact the elected officials who represent me about AT LAST!. I can post AT LAST! - provided items to my social media account.
We are here to help you with any questions that you may have about our program.

Walter Liedtke Honored by Dutch Government

of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, September 2006

Information from the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs
On Monday, September 10th, a dinner was offered by Accenture to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in honor of the opening of the exhibition The age of Rembrandt. On that occasion the following speech was delivered by the consul-general of the Netherlands in New York, Hugo Gajus Scheltema.
Only a week after my arrival as the new Dutch consul-general in New York I met with Walter Liedtke. He was preparing the magnificent show of Old Master paintings that is being opened today and I wanted to greet him in advance of this evening. After showing me around, while walking back towards the entrance, we passed the Early Netherlandish paintings. At that point Walter asked me whether I thought it politically correct to call paintings from what is now Belgium Netherlandish. I could only answer that these lands formed part at the time of the Spanish Low Countries – whether we liked it or not. Actually, to make matters worse, in the Netherlands these paintings are usually known as 'Flemish primitives"!
I am mentioning this not to tease my Belgian friends but for another reason, namely to remind ourselves that those early works showed how much the Dutch Golden Age of painting of the 17th century had been preceded and influenced by other schools, both nearby and further away, and how extraordinary it was that this creative explosion of visual art rather swiftly became concentrated in a few towns in the newly independent Netherlands: Amsterdam, Leiden, Haarlem and Delft of course, and a number of more distant ones, such as Dordrecht or Zwolle. For about a century this focussed and productive energy continued, only to disperse again to other areas and countries, and later even crossing the oceans. And indeed, at the beginning of that Golden Age the Dutch may have founded the very town of New York where we are today, but it took a couple of centuries for people such as Mondriaan and de Kooning to discover it. I hope, by the way, that when we will celebrate together in 2009 the quadricentennial of Henry Hudson's voyage, there will be many occasions and ways to commemorate these historical and modern trans-Atlantic links.
It has been in turn Walter Liedtke who helped Americans discover Dutch art. To paraphrase Jim Morrison, he "lit their fires" and has thus become a true ambassador of Dutch Old Master paintings in the USA. The Metropolitan collection, which is so complete here today, of course helps, but it takes a truly inspired curator to safeguard, display and above all describe the wealth of Dutch paintings in this wonderful museum.
The passion and dedication with which Walter takes care of our cultural heritage is extremely important to my country and especially to H.M. Queen Beatrix, whom he met a few times. The experts she consulted confirmed her impression of Walter's personal dedication, vision and high standards of excellence. These qualifications of the Kappittel, her advisory board, happen to form the very criteria for a royal decoration and therefore, Walter, I am glad to announce that Her Majesty has decided to appoint you officer in the order of Orange- Nassau. The dinner tonight, in honor of the opening of The age of Rembrandt, seemed to be the perfect occasion to give you this important decoration, and therefore, by the powers vested in me by Her Majesty Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, I have the honour to appoint you officer in the order of Orange-Nassau.
In 1993, King Albert II of the Belgians named Walter Liedtke a knight in the order of Leopold.

"Step It Up and Go"
Coming in October from the University of North Carolina Press: Step It Up and Go: The Story of North Carolina Popular Music, from Blind Boy Fuller and Doc Watson to Nina Simone and Superchunk by David Menconi.
This book is a love letter to the artists, scenes, and sounds defining North Carolina's extraordinary contributions to American popular music. David Menconi spent three decades immersed in the state's music, where traditions run deep but the energy expands in countless directions. Menconi shows how working-class roots and rebellion tie North Carolina's Piedmont blues, jazz, and bluegrass to beach music, rock, hip-hop, and more. From mill towns and mountain coves to college-town clubs and the stage of American Idol, Blind Boy Fuller and Doc Watson to Nina Simone and Superchunk, Step It Up and Go celebrates homegrown music just as essential to the state as barbecue and basketball.
Spanning a century of history from the dawn of recorded music to the present, and with sidebars and photos that help reveal the many-splendored glory of North Carolina's sonic landscape, this is a must-read for every music lover.

Crystal wands have been used for healing by healers all over the world since ancient times like the crystal healers in Atlantis. Today, crystal wands are still used by healers around the world. Wands come in many different shapes and sizes, and in different kinds�of stone as well. They may be long or short, and can be smooth or faceted. They can be pointed at one end and rounded at the other, rounded on both ends, or pointed at both ends. Some wands are wider at one end. Most wands are shaped and polished, but rough natural pointed crystals can also be used as a healing wand. Healing wands gather and direct energy. The elongated, cylindrical shape of a wand allows the stone or crystal to direct its energy in a straight line. The point of the wand focuses the energy so that it can be used on specific areas of the body.

Home Artificial Intelligence The Top 5 Technology Trends That Will Transform Our World
The Top 5 Technology Trends That Will Transform Our World
We are at a stage in human evolution where we have moved beyond the physical sphere to the virtual sphere. This virtual sphere is also known as the world of technology. Technology has made so much possible and is advancing so exponentially that the possibilities are almost limitless.
Nowadays, when you look at people's views of the future, whether in movies or in books, the common subject is a dystopia or a post-apocalyptic world. It's either a future where oppression is the norm or a future where humans do not exist or are a marginalized species. Personally, a future without the very affordable Mediacom internet prices is a future I want no part of. But unlike most people, I am an optimist and as such am opposed to taking a bleak view of the future.
In a world of dystopian novels and end-of-the-world movies, here are 5 top technology trends that will shape our future. Hopefully for the better.
Top Technology Trends
1Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence or AI was once considered the turf of science-fiction novels and movies. However, as computing power has grown exponentially over the years, it has given us the ability to start creating AI. Artificial Intelligence has almost unlimited applications. At its core, an AI is a completely autonomous computer that can process impossibly large amounts of data. And not only does it process the data, it learns from it in real time.
Stephen Hawking famously warned of an AI so powerful that it can end up eliminating the human race. These Terminator styles AI do not exist right now and maybe never will. But there are experts working on areas that stop the AI from learning how to place itself outside of human control. Practical applications have shown that AI can learn quickly from data, as evidenced in tests in some popular games. An AI defeated a human Grand Master at the board game Go. Another AI defeated one of the top human players of the popular strategy game Dota 2. While this may seem sinister, it simply signifies that AI can, in fact, learn to do human tasks quickly and autonomously.
2Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality or AR as its commonly known, is present in many facets of our lives. Whether it was the success of Pokemon Go or its application in Snapchat, AR is everywhere. Augmented reality is an amalgamation of the physical and virtual worlds. While most of its application seen so far has been in game development, the possibilities are on a larger scale.
AR is considered more useful than VR because it adds virtual layers of information to our world. It can be used to train surgeons, airplane technicians, and engineers. It can be used to create interactive systems that respond to real-world stimuli. At the risk of repeating myself, the possibilities are endless.
3Blockchain
Blockchain shot into the limelight with the cryptocurrency bubble in 2017. While cryptocurrency has since experienced a deflation, the applications of blockchain remain. Blockchain's most prominent prospect is its ability to provide a completely secure digital transaction. There are many more applications that are becoming fast apparent in developing countries in Africa and Eastern Europe. Development teams are working closely with government regulatory bodies to explore new applications of blockchain to tackle specific issues. The inclusion of government personnel is to ensure that the applications are ethical and objective based.
For example, following the recent disaster in Puerto Rico that left the entire infrastructure upended, blockchain is moving in. Experts aim to create what they call a crypto society. A society in which all financial transactions are secure and safe from natural or manmade disasters, through blockchain.
4Voice Assistants
We have come a long way from when Siri, Cortana and OK Google were novelties. The applications of voice assistants in our daily lives can be seen at a glance. Amazon's Alexa is a perfect example of the use of voice assistants. It is voice activated and can do a plethora of tasks from ordering you pizza to calling emergency services. It can even set timers on and control lights and heating in your home. Alexa is a breakthrough step, showing that voice assistants have many more applications in real life that were originally thought.
5The Internet of Things
The idea of IoT or Internet of Things has been around for a while but only gained serious traction in 2017. This is when smart home devices and appliances began appearing, with the ability to connect to mobile devices. Of course, the use of IoT is not limited to regulating your house's heating or switching lights on and off. The ultimate idea is to integrate the internet into all aspects of our daily lives seamlessly. The idea of the "smart" home is one where each device is connected to the internet and interacts in real-time to your specific instructions. Effectively, all the mundane tasks of your daily routine will be accomplished digitally. This tech is still in its infancy but the applications appear endless.
There you have it; top technology trends that will change our world. These technological developments hold the power to transform our lives and society as a whole. They will hopefully be used to make our lives easier and more convenient as time progresses.

Tag Archives: Wes Anderson
For Buffalo.com: 'Isle of Dogs' is the month's must-see
April 25, 2018 Christopher Schobert
Wes Anderson's "Isle of Dogs." (Fox Searchlight)
Well, my second Buffalo.com column looks to be my last, for a variety of reasons. But more good things are coming soon. In the meantime, check out my thoughts on "Isle of Dogs" and some other recent releases.
This month's most hottest release has been preceded by months of breathless fan anticipation. The cast is as star-heavy as any film in recent memory, and the storyline boldly original. I'm of course talking about Wes Anderson's "Isle of Dogs." Wait, did you think I meant "Avengers: Infinity War"? That's a biggie, too, but "Isle" is the real must-see.
Must-see of the month: "Isle of Dogs"
Wee film fans might not recognize Wes Anderson's name. But they should be familiar with "The Fantastic Mr. Fox," the idiosyncratic "Royal Tenenbaums" and "Moonrise Kingdom" director's 2009 stop-motion animated Roald Dahl adaptation. "Mr. Fox" has proven to be something of a modern kids' film classic, and holds equal appeal for Anderson-ites.
The director's latest animated film, "Isle of Dogs," was released in Buffalo on April 13. Unlike "Mr. Fox," however, "Isle" is not for kids. It is dark, violent, full of subtitles, and altogether too thematically complex for pre-teens.
But it's also bloody brilliant, and teenage and adult cinephiles will be spellbound. It has the stunning look of Anderson's "Mr. Fox," the staggering attention to visual detail that defines "Tenenbaums" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel," and the warmth and humor of "Rushmore."
"Isle of Dogs" is set in a near-future Japan in which dogs have been banished to a trash-filled island following a widespread outbreak of illness. A 12-year-old boy, the ward of an evil political leader, flies to the island in search of his beloved dog. There, he meets some of the island's four-legged denizens, a ragtag group voiced by the likes of Bryan Cranston, Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, Tilda Swinton, and Scarlett Johansson.
The story may appear sleight at first glance, yet "Isle" is, in fact, Anderson's most fiercely political work to date. There is much to discuss post-viewing, from the political and animal cruelty elements to whether the film qualifies as problematic cultural appropriation. However one feels about the latter issue, there is no doubt "Isle of Dogs" is another successful film from one of our most consistent writer-directors.
As for "Avengers," well, you know what you're getting, and that should be plenty. The gargantuan team-up of Black Panther, the Avengers, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and assorted hangers-on might feature the most gobsmackingly star-heavy cast in film history.
Is it appropriate for kids? That likely depends on the youngster's experience with the Marvel cinematic universe. "Infinity War" is expected to be a darker entry, and it's also more than two and a half hours long. Still, holding off young fans won't be easy…
Kids' pick (digital/DVD/Blu-ray): "Mary and The Witch's Flower"
The animated films of Japan's Studio Ghibli cannot be recommended highly enough, and while the releases are generally darker than, say, a Disney film, they're also positively enchanting. Kids of any age will find much to love in Ghibli efforts like "Spirited Away" and "Ponyo."
The studio's latest U.S. release, "Mary and the Witch's Flower," is another gem. This story of a young girl who discovers a flower granting her magical powers does not quite hit the highs of Ghibli's finest. But the animation is gorgeous, the story inventive, and the dubbed voices — the subtitled version is preferable, but the kids likely need dubbing — are quite good. The cast includes Kate Winslet and Jim Broadbent.
"Mary" will be released on digital, DVD and Blu-ray on May 1. If you missed the film during its run at the North Park Theatre in February, it's time to catch up.
Note also that the recent kid hit "Peter Rabbit" arrives on digital on April 20, with DVD and Blu-ray to follow on May 1. My advice? Wait on the rather obnoxious "Peter," and give "Mary" a try.
Parents' picks (digital/DVD/Blu-ray): "Phantom Thread" and "Molly's Game"
If you are stuck renting "Peter Rabbit," I recommend rewarding yourself with Paul Thomas Anderson's "Phantom Thread," the best film of 2017 and certainly the year's most delightfully warped love story. If the final role for Daniel Day-Lewis is this temperamental 1950s London dressmaker, he's going out on a high.
Also worth watching is "Molly's Game." While Aaron Sorkin's directorial debut came and went from theaters with minimal enthusiasm. That'a shame. The story of an Olympic skier turned high-stakes poker maven is dramatically hit or miss, but its entertainment value is unquestioned. And Jessica Chastain and Idris Elba have rarely been better. Both "Phantom" and "Molly's Game" arrived on April 10.
New to Hulu: "Loving Vincent"
Recent Oscar nominee "Loving Vincent" is an imperfect biopic of Vincent Van Gogh, but my goodness, does it look lovely. It is, quite famously, the first fully painted animated feature film ever made. That certainly makes it worth watching.
"Loving Vincent" arrives on Hulu on April 19.
New to Netflix: "Bobby Kennedy for President"
The Netflix original documentary "Bobby Kennedy for President" is one of the streaming service's most high-profile nonfiction releases to date. Featuring oodles of archival footage and new interviews with the likes of Harry Belafonte and Rep. John Lewis, "Bobby Kennedy" looks to be tremendously moving.
It's also a sensible intro for younger viewers to the Kennedy story, unlike Emilio Estevez's wacky 2006 drama, "Bobby." Dawn Porter's documentary arrives on Netflix on April 27.

Recommended new books on filmmaking: My latest Film Stage feature
June 18, 2015 Christopher Schobert
My latest Film Stage books piece features some new (and newish) reading options looking at Mad Max: Fury Road, Robert Altman, Grand Budapest Hotel, and more.
If your idea of beach reading is Nicholas Sparks or Danielle Steel, click away. (And reconsider your life choices.) However, if you plan to work on your tan while paging through weighty hardcover tomes about Robert Altman, Boyhood, and Grand Budapest Hotel, read on. We start—as one should—with George Miller's fast-and-Furiosa masterpiece, Mad Max: Fury Road.
The Art of Mad Max: Fury Road by Abbie Bernstein (Titan Books)
Many thoughts run through one's head while watching Fury Road—Could George Miller's film make the rest of this summer's blockbusters look any weaker in the knees? Can fans stop worrying about the chronology? Why wasn't late Howard Stern Show fan favorite Eric the Actor cast as the little person who looks through the telescope?—but the most pressing is likely, "How did they do that?!" The Art of Mad Max: Fury Road has some answers. From storyboards and sketches to insightful production photos, the book is an extravaganza of ugly-beautiful details. Some of it is haunting, including a still of a young "War Boy" in the making gazing in the distance and an extreme close-up of a disturbingly skeevy Nicholas Hoult. Some is surprising, including the concept that the "Wives' quarters" are "filled with the world's last remaining books." All of it, without question, makes a rich film seem even richer. Abbie Bernstein's book is a brisk, fascinating read, and a must-have for the Rockatansky completist.
The Wes Anderson Collection: The Grand Budapest Hotel by Matt Zoller Seitz (Abrams)
Matt Zoller Seitz's dazzling, marvelously designed 2013 book The Wes Anderson Collection was one of the finest film-related texts of recent years, but had one failing: Timing meant that it could not include 2014's Grand Budapest Hotel. That problem is now solved. The Wes Anderson Collection: The Grand Budapest Hotel is a glorious companion, featuring more than 250 pages of interviews (with Anderson, Ralph Fiennes, Robert Yeoman, and others), essays (from the likes of David Bordwell and Ali Arikan), and photos, artwork, and much more. There are even excerpts from the works of Stefan Zweig. Above all else, there are illuminating thoughts like this one, from Zoller Seitz's preface: "[W]ith each successive viewing of The Grand Budapest Hotel, a funny, really not-so-funny thing happens: We realize that all these acts of self-reinvention and self-determination will nonetheless be trampled by the greedy and powerful, then ground up in the tank treads of history."
Silver Screen Fiend by Patton Oswalt (Scribner)
Comedian-actor-Twitter superstar Patton Oswalt is a cinephile extraordinaire, and Silver Screen Fiend—subtitled Learning About Life From an Addiction to Film—is one of the finest chronicles of movie love and its life-altering impact in some time. As the memoir progresses, Oswalt's stand-up career slowly flourishes, but it's the film talk that makes Fiend so memorable. His Day the Clown Cried anecdote alone makes this an essential read, as done his heartbreak after seeing The Phantom Menace. Oswalt's thoughts on a second viewing of the Star Wars prequel are wonderfully well-reasoned: "I guess I'm hoping for some sort of redemptive miracle, or that maybe I was wrong in my initial assessment. Also, there are parts of it I like. It's sheer uncut nostalgia. … But it still sucks."
Star Wars Epic Yarns: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi by Jack and Holman Wang (Chronicle Books)
The Star Wars Epic Yarns trio is summarized nicely on the back of each book: "Twelve handcrafted felt scenes + twelve words = one epic microsaga!" That about sums it up. While the twelve words are a bit banal for readers over, say, 6 ("trouble," "hurt," "boom!"), the scenes are stunningly detailed. Yoda, in particular, is adorable, and the key moments from A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi are all here. My Star Wars-obsessed 4-year-old finds the three books delightful, and so do I.
Altman by Kathryn Reed Altman and Giulia D'Agnolo Vallan (Abrams)
The career of Robert Altman demanded a colorful, photo-heavy coffee-table book like Altman. This visual biography is co-authored by the late director's widow, Kathryn Reed Altman, and film critic Giulia D'Agnolo Vallan. They have created a wildly entertaining summary of the man's career and life, including scores of interviews (collaborators represented include Lily Tomlin, Jules Feiffer, and Julian Fellowes) and unique insight into the peaks and valleys of his life. The lows of the 1980s are especially interesting, but readers will be most moved by the photos and memories of his final days. The last photo of husband and wife, taken at home shortly before his passing in 2006, is gloriously loving. "I think it's a very special picture," Reed Altman writes. That's an undeniable sentiment.
Boyhood: Twelve Years on Film by Matt Lankes (University of Texas Press)
Last year around this time, most film fans were anxiously awaiting the chance to see Richard Linklater's Sundance smash, Boyhood. In a matter of weeks after opening, the 12-year-in-the-making backstory had become part of pop culture lore. While the film failed to pick up the Oscars many thought it should (besides Patricia Arquette's much-deserved Best Supporting Actress statue), the passage of time has not diminished the boldness of Linklater's approach. The gorgeous photographs by Matt Lankes in Boyhood: Twelve Years on Film make it even easier to appreciate the uniqueness of production. Here are the faces of Boyhood—all of them, from Mason and his mom and dad to the guy behind the counter at the liquor store. The behind-the-scenes pics, especially, demonstrate what an experience the film must have been to make, and remind us how thrillingly alive it felt to viewers.
Vacation Reads (Recent Film-centric Novels)
Missing Reels by Farran Smith Nehme (Overlook Press)
Self-Styled Siren blogger Farran Smith Nehme's debut novel is an utter delight. Movie-loving lead character Ceinwen Reilly is a native of Yazoo City, Mississippi now living in 1980s New York. She finds herself on a quest to track down a long-lost silent film, and I find myself hoping that Emma Stone is cast in a big-screen adaptation of Reels.
West of Sunset by Stewart O'Nan (Viking)
It is hard not to be fascinated by F. Scott Fitzgerald's years in Hollywood. In West if Sunset, the great Stewart O'Nan (Snow Angels) imagines the final years of the author's life. The novel is wonderfully detailed and hugely moving. It's a fine companion to Fitzgerald's own The Love of Last Tycoon.
Blood on Snow by Jo Nesbo (Knopf)
Jo Nesbo is no stranger to Hollywood—see Headhunters, and, hopefully, eventual adaptations of his Harry Hole novel The Snowman and the stand-alone novel The Son. (Channing Tatum is attached to the latter.) Blood on Snow, the compulsively readable story of a crime scene "fixer," has Leonardo DiCaprio on board as producer and possibly star. Note to Leo: Blood is bloody good. Take the lead role, please.
The Revenant by Michael Punke (Picador)
Speaking of DiCaprio, the actor's next film is The Revenant, Birdman Oscar-winner Alejandro González Iñárritu's adaptation of Michael Punke's 2003 novel. If the recently re-released book is any indication, DiCaprio has perhaps one of his most formidable performances yet in store. This tale of a 19th century a fur trapper on a quest for revenge is a captivating read. Buy it now, and ponder what Iñárritu and his stellar cast (which also includes Tom Hardyand Domhnall Gleeson) will bring to the table.

The great "Grand Budapest Hotel," and the films of Wes Anderson
March 20, 2014 Christopher Schobert
I know it seemed like an endless wait, but Wes Anderson's latest film, Grand Budapest Hotel, finally opens in Buffalo tomorrow, and the wait was worth it. I think this is one of the director's best films, perhaps his LARGEST scale project to date: size, scope, vision. The performances, especially from Ralph Fiennes, are impeccable. And this is his freshest collection of characters in many years.
In fact, I believe Budapest is his best film since The Royal Tenenbaums. And that thought got me pondering all of his films, and how I would rank them. So without further ado, my ranking of the films of Wes Anderson.
1. Bottle Rocket
I am in the minority with this one, I know, but I believe Anderson's debut film is hit most original, his most emotional, and his most gloriously fresh. There is a youthful spirit on display that is rarely captured onscreen — it FEELS young and naive, in the best sense. And I maintain Owen Wilson gave his finest performance to date as Dignan.
2. Rushmore
Anderson's second film features his greatest character. No, not Max Fischer. Bill Murray's Herman Blume. It also features his best soundtrack, his best opening, and his best ending. A perfect film, one that contains my favorite Anderson montage: the "Oh Yoko" sequence.
3. The Royal Tenenbaums
"I know you, asshole!" I could drop about 100 other classic lines, or refer to songs like "These Days" and "Need in the Hay." But I'd rather just watch, and drink it all in again.
4. The Grand Budapest Hotel
People will love this film. In fact, they already do. I predict it will land a Best Picture nomination.
5. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
I will never forget seeing the trailer for Zissou, and being utterly gob-smacked, to the degree that a friend and I considered traveling to see the film before it opened in Buffalo. I still think it's one of finest trailers ever made — all Murray magnificence, set to Bowie's "Queen Bitch." The film itself was more sour than I'd expected, and a bit too stylized, but still a success, to be sure.
6. The Darjeeling Limited
The forgotten Anderson film? Maybe. Great moments, great acting, yet it never quite gels. This is all relative; he has never made a bad film.
7. Moonrise Kingdom
Overrated? Yes. Very good? Certainly.
8. Fantastic Mr. Fox
Anderson's weakest film, to be sure, but guess what? It's still quite good. Of course. Criterion recently released Mr. Fox on Blu-ray, and it was a deserving reissue.
And now, to close things off, "Ooh La La."

Terah, son of Nahor, was the father of Nahor, Haran, Abram and Sarai,[1] and grandfather of Milcah, Iscah, and Lot,[2] Ishmael[3] and Isaac.[4] He was born in the hill country of Haran 220 years after the Great Flood,[5] but migrated to the city of Ur among the Chaldeans where his fellow Semites were living.[6]
Terah, though a Semite, had come to worship the gods of Ur,[7] a settlement of Semites that had migrated south from Babel during the days of Serug, his grandfather. As Semites, the Aramites of Haran and Arphaxadites of Ur most certainly had attempted to follow the God of Noah who died among them 350 years after the Flood.[8] However, as the lives of the founders of these cities outlived the following generations by centuries, it is not hard to see where they would be idolized, or even deified.
Terah married late, fathering children at twice the age of his predecessors after the age of 70.[9] He named one of his sons, likely the firstborn, Nahor, in honor of his own father who he had left in Haran. His home town being dear to him, he named another son, Haran, after it. It is possible that he named his son Abram after the recently deceased Noah, in honor of the "exalted father" of all mankind. Some ten years after the birth of Abram, Terah took another wife, or perhaps a concubine, the mother of his daughter, who he named Sarai, whose name meant "princess", who he gave in marriage to Abram. After the death of his son Haran, he left with Abram in a pilgrimage a land his son had said Yahweh had called him.[10] However, they stopped in his hometown, where he died at the age of 205 years.[11]

Unzen Jigoku
The Volcanic Hell of Mount Unzen
Unzen Jigoku is the Japanese name of the Hells of Mount Unzen, an active volcano in the center of Shimabara Peninsula, in the south-east of Nagasaki prefecture, on Kyushu Island. Its attractiveness comes from its fumaroles, onsen hot springs, and beautiful views from its heights.
A place with a long history
A land of legends
How to go to Unzen Jigoku ?
What to see near?
Mount Unzen is encompassed by the famous Unzen-Amakusa National Park, that stretches off the shores of Kumamoto and down to Kagoshima prefecture. Established in 1934, the name of the protected site derives from Mount Unzen-dake and the numerous small islands constituting the Amakusa archipelago.
Back in 701 the first year of Taihô era, Buddhist monk Gyoki (668 – 749) decided to built Manmyo-ji temple on the side of Unzen-dake for the practice of Shugendo, an ancient Japanese religion. Thereafter and until 1571, worshipers came to the temple to honor their ancestors and pray for good harvests and protection against earthquakes.
In the first half of the 17th century, during the Christian persecutions, Unzen Jigoku became an execution ground. However, it gradually transformed into a thermal resort from 1653. The earth is constantly venting white steam, and it is said that the sulfur it contains is good to treat rheumatism and diabetes.
Parts of the area have been frequently closed due to the many eruptions. Nowadays, Unzen-Onsen ♨ resort had several platforms and passageways arranged to allow for a safe walk between the small ponds of boiling mud and rocks shaped by lava and whitened by the smoke. From September to December, the red pines on the surrounding mountains display beautiful autumn 🍁 hues. The azaleas are in full bloom in May.
The walking trail is marked with signs telling the legends of the various hot springs. For example, the legend of Hachiman-Jigoku ("80,000 hells") tells that, according to the Buddhist beliefs, a man condemned to hell should be tortured in 84,000 different ways as he could misbehave in 84,000 different ways when in the world of the living. In Daikyokan Jigoku ("Screaming hell"), smoke rises up to 30 to 40 meters high, and the temperature reaches 120°C. The roaring of the source reminds of the screams of the deceased that are directly sent to Hell. These Dantesque stories perfectly picture the hell-like landscape imbued with the smell of sulfur.
Jigoku Meguri - The eight hells of Beppu
In the hot spring 🌸 village, the Unzen Visitor Center displays a model scale of the National Park and its volcanoes. Books to learn on the local plants and wildlife, as well as affordable souvenirs are also available. On a day-trip, do try the natural hot springs that made the reputation of the area, either at public baths facilities or at inns and hotels 🏨.
Lastly, hikers can ride Unzen Ropeway from Nita Pass, located a few kilometers away in the north-east of Unzen Jigoku to try climbing to the summits of Myoken-dake (1,334m), Fugen-dake (1,359m), and Kumini-dake (1,347m).

Wind change to help contain bushfires
published by www.brisbanetimes.com.au
Australia — Firefighters are hoping a wind change tonight will help contain many of the fires burning across Queensland.
At 3pm, 54 bushfires were burning across the state, down from a peak of 70 on Wednesday.
Peter Varley from Queensland Fire and Rescue Service says relief could be on the way for first time in days.
''Tomorrow might be better,'' he said.
Extreme and severe fire weather warnings which covered two thirds of Queensland on Wednesday are now only in place in the state's northwest corner.
''We're looking at the wind changing around to the east which is great because anything coming from the west causes major issues, which we've had for the last few days'' Mr Varley said.
The major concern continues to be a large bushfire at Halliford, near Dalby on the western Darling Downs.
''At the moment there are four water bombing aircraft and nine fire crews working on that one,'' he said.
''We have 17 people who have self-evacuated their homes … I'm hoping with a wind change overnight and the fact that we might have some moisture in the air they might be okay to come home tomorrow.''
Mr Varley said if a wind change arrived on Thursday evening and the air moisture increased it would help crews get the upper hand on the burn.''I think they'll be able to do some good work.
They got it in containment lines earlier on today and they've been working to keep it there, so I think they'll have a win with that tomorrow.''
UPDATE 12.31pm
Seven homes have been evacuated and ten fire crews and water-bombers are working to contain a bushfire that broke out in the Kumbarilla State Forest this morning in the Darling Downs.
The blaze is expected to travel north and threaten properties around Halliford Road, Lake Broadwater Road, Schulz Road and the Moonie Highway near Dalby within the next six hours.
The fire is one of 54 burning across the state as hot and dry conditions sparked a busy period for firefighters.
Seven houses have been evacuated and 10 more are on standby as locals in the area affected near Dalby are urged to enact their bushfire action plans.
Queensland Fire and Rescue Service rural operations director Peter Varley said the dry and hot conditions across Queensland were the "worst" they could be when it came to controlling fires.
"The temperatures may be a little bit lower across the state but that dry air is our biggest problem, there's no humidity in the air," he told 612 ABC Brisbane.
"The wind is picking up a little bit as well, between 35 to 45 kilometres an hour in some parts of the state.
"Those sort of conditions are the worst for us, there's really not been much of a respite for us over the past few days."
Most fires are concentrated around the coastline though the most dangerous fires are burning in the west.
No burn-offs have been planned by firefighters anywhere in the state and though there is not a fire ban in place most fire permits have been cancelled.
"The problem we have in these sort of conditions is fires getting started, people need to be extremely cautious around ignition sources, the big one is throwing cigarettes butts out of the cars which we see everyday," he said.
"It is just so dry those sort of things can start a fire easily."
The combination of hot and windy conditions is spreading the fire fast and the QFRS fears some properties may be lost.
A QFRS spokesman said although well prepared and defended homes can offer safety, residents who have not prepared should leave the area.
"Firefighters will not be able to protect every affected property and residents should not expect a firefighter at their door," he said.
Meanwhile, two grass fire that broke out in Monduran and Waterloo, both near Bundaberg have been contained with the QFRS saying they do not threaten property at this time.
Another grass fire that broke out in Kalpowar, northeast of Monto, yesterday has also been contained and is being monitored by local fire crews.
The failure was in the forest areas.Advertisement
Following a 10-year strategy, ACT fire managers have created a mosaic across the landscape of different fuel levels, burning at every opportunity.
But forests have been too wet to burn this spring and the past two summers.
