BLACKSBURG, Va. (WDBJ) -- Virginia Tech point guard Justin Robinson has been named to the watch list for the 2019 Citizen Naismith Trophy Men's Player of the Year. The Atlanta Tipoff Club announced the list on Monday.
Robinson, a senior from Manassas, Virginia, led the Hokies in scoring and assists last season. A 2018 All-ACC second team selection, Robinson enters his senior season fifth on the all-time Virginia Tech assists list, with 435 and 45th on the school's career scoring list, with 1,041 career points. Earlier this fall, he was named second team preseason All-ACC and is on the watch list for the 2019 Bob Cousy Point Guard of the Year Award.
Overall, the ACC tops the list with 10 players represented, while the SEC is a close runner-up with nine candidates on the Watch List. Duke, which has won more Citizen Naismith Trophies (7) than any other school, and Kentucky lead the Watch List with three players apiece. The 2018 Naismith High School Player of the Year award winner, R.J. Barrett, also made this year's college Watch List. Players who do not make the Watch List are still eligible to be selected for the Midseason 30 Team.
The Atlanta Tipoff Club administers the Naismith Awards, the most prestigious national honors in all of college and high school basketball. Named in honor of Dr. James Naismith, inventor of the game of basketball, the family of Naismith Awards annually recognizes the top men's and women's college and high school basketball players and coaches. Other Naismith Awards are presented to the men's and women's college basketball defensive players of the year, as well as lifetime achievement awards to basketball officials and outstanding contributors to the game.
The Hokies open the 2018-19 season on Friday night, Nov. 9, as they host Gardner-Webb. The game will tip-off at 7 p.m. at the Carilion Clinic Court at Cassell Coliseum on the Virginia Tech campus.


More than 780,000 fans attended the two-week grand slam, smashing the previous attendance record of 743,667 set in 2018. The men's and women's finals were aired live in more than 220 territories on more than 75 different TV channels, reaching more than 900 million homes daily and showcasing Victoria to the world.
With Australian Open 2019 run and won, the focus now turns to making sure the tournament continues to grow. Work will start within weeks on Stage 3 of the Melbourne Park redevelopment, with the Andrews Labor Government investing $271 million to build a new show court in the central plaza area.
Over the last two weeks, Melbourne Park has seen some fantastic tennis on the outer courts highlighting the need for a new show court. As part of the Stage 3 package of works, there will also be a new function and media centre, central kitchen and a logistics hub.
The existing function and media centre will be demolished later this month to make way for the new facilities. Works on Stage 3 are scheduled for completion prior to the 2023 Australian Open, ensuring that the Open remains at Melbourne Park until at least 2036.


Is that slightly outdated package of meat in your fridge still good? The average human nose might not be able to accurately predict its freshness by smell alone, but modern technology can. That's the claim behind PERES, a handheld smartphone accessory for your kitchen that sniffs meat to detect spoilage.
Specifically, PERES measures four things: Temperature, humidity, ammonia, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It uses this data to detect whether meat is fresh and safe to eat. The device connects to your Android or iOS smartphone via Bluetooth, and works with most common types of meat – beef, poultry, pork and fish.
PERES is being offered through crowd-funding site IndieGogo, where it has already surpassed its $50,000 goal. The device is scheduled to enter mass production in October 2014 with an expected retail price of $150.
You can learn more about PERES by watching the promotional video below or visiting its IndieGogo page. For more cool kitchen tech, visit the Techlicious Kitchen page.

Q: Cardinality of largest set $S$ such that no two numbers in $S$ have a sum divisibly by $5$.
What is the largest subset of numbers from $1$ to $100$ such that no two numbers in the chosen subset will have a sum divisible by 5.

I started by considering the largest subset of numbers from $1$ to $5$, whose result can then by scaled up to the range $1$ to $100$.
I noted that in the set of residues of modulo 5, you can only choose at most two (1 and 2, for instance) since adding one more element would allow it to combine with itself and produce a sum $\equiv 0$ mod 5.
Thus, since you can only choose at most $2$ in every range of $5$, in the range from $1$ to $100$ you can get a maximum of $20 \cdot 2$ = 40. You can add in one more at the end (0, if we chose $1$ and $2$ as our repeating values) to get a total of $41$.
Is this correct?

A: Yes, this is correct, and basically counts as a proof as well.

Michael Pattison and Neil Young's inaugural video report, from France's most eclectically programmed and well-respected festival.
As the sun sought slumber behind the Mediterranean in one final, slow-motion plummet, two thick-twanged film critics from North East England sat down to record a chat. There was no script, but their topic was clear: FIDMarseille, France's most eclectically programmed and well-respected film festival. The idea of a video blog had been posed to us as far back as February, at this year's Berlinale. Conflicting schedules and a comically limited knowledge of how these things work prevented this, our first dispatch, from happening sooner.
Under its current artistic director Jean-Pierre Rehm, FIDMarseille eschews convention. Now 26 editions old, the weeklong event has no qualms when it comes to programming—often in competition—those medium-length works of an experimental bent that few other festivals seem to touch. As I have written elsewhere, Marseilles itself is a promisingly rough-edged city. For these qualities alone, the fuzzy image here seems appropriate: we want our emphasis to be on content rather than presentation. Speak, so went our presumption, and they will listen.
Partycrashers is an on-going feature by critics Michael Pattison and Neil Young of video dispatches from various international film festivals.

Valentine's Day is approaching, and I don't know about you, but my favorite thing to do is simply cuddle up on the couch with some delicious appetizers, and watch a romantic movie with my husband! He's a great sport about this once a year girly movie marathon.
I'm sharing two of my go-to dishes that are the perfect nibbles to enjoy in your pajamas: Caramelised Onion Dip and Spicy Chili Chicken Drumettes.
The two dishes balance one another – the cool onion dip is the perfect contrast to the spicy chicken.
I am absolutely in love with potato chips, so the onion dip is my idea of heaven. If you want to be a bit healthier, you can always swap out the chips for carrot sticks and celery. This dip also brings back memories of the instant powdered mix that was often served at parties during my childhood – does anybody else remember that stuff?!
An updated (and more delicious) version of the instant powdered chip dip mix often served at parties.
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Add cooked onions and mix well. Season with salt and pepper and dill. Serve with kettle-style potato chips.
The most important ingredient is the sour cream – it needs to be full-fat and nice quality. I use Olympic brand organic Sour Cream because it's extra thick and creamy. If you feel it's too thick, just add a little bit of water to thin it out. On the other hand, if you're using a thinner sour cream, whip in a tablespoon of olive oil.
For rub, in large bowl mix together all ingredients; set aside.
For chili sauce, in small bowl combine all the ingredients; set aside.
Rinse chicken and pat dry well. Toss chicken in bowl with spices. Place chicken single layer on a baking rack placed over a rimmed baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 300°F oven, for 55 to 65 minutes, turning once.
Cooking the wings on a baking rack and without sauce produces a crispy skin.
A chicken wing has 3 parts: the drumette, wingette, and tip. My favourite part of the wing is the drumette as it has as a higher ratio of meat than a wing and the meat is closer to white meat.

Intelligent Training System
Workplace fires cause billions of dollars in damage each year. Unfortunately, in many cases, much of that damage could be prevented if an individual who happened to discover the flames early enough knew how to properly use a fire extinguisher.
Engineer John Blackburn aimed to find a way to train people safely and effectively on how to use this life-saving device. With colleagues Ryan O'Donnell and Tom Rossi, he created the Intelligent Training System, or ITS, which later became the foundation of BullEx Digital Safety, Inc. in Menands, New York.
Blackburn was born in 1984 in Squamish, British Columbia, where he enjoyed a childhood filled with hours spent tinkering with toys and gadgets and coming up with his own creative ideas. He began his studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in Troy, New York, where he completed a BS in Electrical Engineering in 2005.
As a student, Blackburn's robotic creations were featured on TLC's "Robotica" and Comedy Central's "Battle Bots." Also while studying at RPI, he worked with students enrolled in RPI's Inventors Studio program. The program offers classes to help teams of students develop their own concepts into working prototypes. Participants may also get assistance in securing patents and, in some cases, funding for further development.
Through the Inventors Studio program, Blackburn became involved with a project that began as research into ways for disabled individuals to extinguish kitchen fires. Later, the idea evolved into a fire extinguisher that could instruct a person as to whether he or she was properly extinguishing a fire. The idea was, in part, inspired by a mandate by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), which requires all employers that have fire extinguishers in the workplace to provide annual training for all employees.
In order to do this, trainers would need to gather several fire extinguishers, light flares in parking lots or other open areas, and expose themselves and employees repeatedly to toxic, dry-chemical coatings. Blackburn and his team realized this was an incredibly inefficient way to teach, not to mention an unsafe and messy process. The team began working on the ITS with the aim of making it simple, efficient, safe, and easy to use by just one qualified trainer. The result was a system with an electronic ignition that uses a clean burning propane-based flame. ITS also allows for the use of SmartExtinguishers, a trademarked unit that requires only water and air, which enables realistic training without discharging chemicals into the environment.
Four sensors on the base ITS unit make it possible for individuals undergoing training to be easily evaluated. The sensors are able to vary the flame for a realistic training scenario. Thus, users get immediate feedback as to their efficacy in aiming and sweeping in an attempt to extinguish a fire. The ITS can fully mimic the characteristics of particular classes of fires: combustibles, liquid, and energized. A trainer operates the system via a handheld controller that allows him to select different classes of fire, select different difficulty levels, and grade the user based on his or her performance.
Blackburn and his team founded BullEx in 2003 to market and distribute ITS. The firm opened its doors in 2005. Blackburn was Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of BullEx until 2012, when the company was acquired by Lion Apparel, Inc. He holds three patents for fire safety-related technologies.
Today BullEx sells its products all over the world, with systems in place in approximately 40 countries. To date, more than one million people have been trained using BullEx technology. In addition to ITS, BullEx has launched two new products, the HotShot and the BullsEye. These new systems give our company a broader product offering and better reach. The HotShot was designed specifically for fire safety training in sensitive environments such as mining and off-shore oil and gas. It recreates a live fire through the use of an LED flat-panel screen. BullsEye takes the HotShot one step further: It can be used with specially designed laser-based training extinguishers that allow training to be conducted with no byproducts at all.
When BullEx was taken over by Lion Apparel, Inc., Blackburn and a co-founder of BullEx, Tom Rossi, switched their focus to real estate development. Together they formed Redburn Development Companies, LLC, which aims to use new re-use technology on things like building renovations or green energy building techniques like low cost building-wide energy and, more specifically, low cost systems for building wide internet and security cameras.

Q: Android notification icon to change background according to status bar color I am making an app, which displays a notification when a certain task is completed. This is my code:
int NOTIFICATION_ID = 4024;

NotificationCompat.Builder builder =
    new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
    .setContentTitle("Title")
    .setContentText("Text")
    .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notification)
    .setLights(Color.GREEN, 1000, 1000)
    .setVibrate(new long[] {500, 500, 500, 500, 500})
    .setAutoCancel(true);

Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
      resultIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
builder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);

NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build());

And this is my icon (from https://material.io/icons/#ic_signal_cellular_4_bar):

When running this the icon displays fine, but it doesn't change color according to the background of the status bar, like for example whatsapp's icon does:

So my question is how I can make it change color according to the background.
EDIT:
Also when using the white icon it doesn't change color.

A: Quoting the documentation:

Status bar icons are composed simply of white pixels on a transparent backdrop, with alpha blending used for smooth edges and internal texture where appropriate.

Your icon would appear to be using black pixels. Try downloading the white edition of that icon, and see if you have better luck.

Article Riley's family relive their worst nightmare as his 1st bday approaches
Catherine Hughes should be planning a first birthday party, instead she is wishing children didn't die from vaccine-preventable diseases.
Catherine doesn't get to celebrate the first birthday of her son, Riley, who passed away last March from whooping cough at just 32 days old. Instead she says – "I'm watching these videos and wishing children didn't die from vaccine-preventable diseases."
She wants us all to talk about vaccinations.
"I should be planning his first birthday party but instead I'm watching these videos and wishing children didn't die from vaccine-preventable diseases.
They don't have to.
Every time you speak in favour of immunisation, you could be helping encourage those who are unsure about vaccination to make the right decision. Thank you for continuing the conversation heart emoticon
- Riley's Mum Catherine x"
He was too young to have his vaccinations and Catherine had not been told that while she was pregnant she could have been vaccinated, providing some immunity to Riley.
By sharing the video of her precious son only days before he passed away she is hoping to highlight the dangers of not immunising.
"*Warning – contains content that some may find distressing*
These are the final videos of our beautiful son Riley who passed away from whooping cough on the 17th of March, 2015.
I have always kept these videos to myself, as it makes my blood run cold listening to my beautiful boy cough like that. But we are sharing this in the hopes that it will convince just one more pregnant Mum to protect their baby from this disease. I wish I had known about pregnancy vaccination when I was pregnant with Riley.
In the beginning, Riley didn't have a "whoop" sound in his cough, but it certainly developed once he was in hospital. If your newborn baby has a cough, and is too young to be vaccinated, please get them checked out by a doctor! Early intervention CAN help.
I loved being Riley's Mum for those four weeks. I wish it were longer. Please share to help ensure no more babies die from this disease, which I hope one day will be relegated to the history books.
- Riley's Mum x"
Catherine told the ABC that something needed to be done to target "belief systems: undermining the vaccination effort."
"I think greater education is needed in schools," she said. "Losing Riley was the worst thing we've ever experienced, and it doesn't need to happen," Catherine said.
"Watching your baby gasp for breath and being told your baby isn't going to make it, … it doesn't need to happen.

Absolutely heartbreaking. Very sorry, just unfair.
wow, what a terrible story, and really brings home the value in these preventative medicines
Poor Riley! Vaccinations are so important!! Such a sad story.

So very sad when it shouldn't be happening today x
Immunisations are so very important. So sad when innocent babies die in this way.

When my niece was enrolled at school before her 5th birthday her parents were asked by the Principal if she had been immunised.
This was incredibly difficult to watch. Hopefully this will encourage people to vaccinate to protect not only ourselves and our children but also those that are most vulnerable.
yeah that is right. we should take a bit more responsibilty
that was hard to watch that poor baby! i feel very sorry for this family. i hope that people get vaccinated!

Utah State's Dominik Eberle has been named an SB Nation Honorable Mention All-American, it was announced Friday. SB Nation is a sports news website owned and operated by Vox Media.
Eberle, who was one of four placekickers recognized by SB Nation, is the first-ever Utah State placekicker named an All-American and just the second-ever specialist, joining Steve Mullins, who was named an Honorable Mention All-American punter by Football News in 2001.
Eberle, who was also a finalist for the Lou Groza Award this season as the nation's best placekicker, becomes the second Aggie to earn All-America honors this season, joining senior CB Jalen Davis, who was named a Walter Camp Football Foundation First-Team All-American.
Eberle, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound placekicker from Nuremberg, Germany (Redondo Union High School, California), currently ranks first in the Mountain West and fifth in the nation in field goal percentage (.889), as he has made 16 of 18 field goals. He is also tied for third in the conference and tied for 34th in the nation in field goals made (1.33 pg) and is eighth in the MW and 55th in the nation in scoring (7.8 ppg). Those 16 made field goals are tied for the sixth-most in a single season in school history, while his 88.9 conversion percentage ranks first all-time in school history for a single season.
This year, Eberle is 5 of 6 on field goal attempts of at least 40 yards, including a career long of 52 yards, which is tied for the 10th-longest in school history. Eberle is also 45 of 45 on extra point attempts to rank tied for third all-time in school history for a single season in PATs made and fourth in PAT attempts.
Overall, Eberle has scored 93 points so far this season with 45 extra points and 16 field goals, ranking as the second-most points scored by a kicker in a single season in school history.
Utah State will conclude the 2017 season against New Mexico State in the third annual NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl on Friday, Dec. 29, at 3:30 p.m. (MT) at Arizona Stadium in Tucson, Arizona. The game will be televised live on CBS Sports Network (Comcast Ch. 269/753HD, Dish Network Ch. 158, DirecTV Ch. 221).

Q: Memory error in the destructor when reverse a linked list I'm writing my own linked list class (for educational purposes) and here it is:
The node
#define PRINT(x) #x << " = " << x << " "

struct ListNode {
    int val;
    ListNode *next = nullptr;
    ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(nullptr) {}
};

The class
class LinkedList{
    private:
        ListNode* _head;
        unsigned long long int _size;
    public:

        LinkedList():_head(nullptr), _size(0) {}

        LinkedList(ListNode* _h):_head(_h), _size(0) {
            ListNode *node = _head;
            while (node != nullptr) {
                _size++;
                node = node -> next;
            }
        }

       ~LinkedList() {
            while (_head != nullptr) {
                remove();
            }
        }

        void add(const int& value) {
             ListNode *node = new ListNode(value);
             node -> next = _head;
             _head = node;
             _size++;
        }

        int remove() {
             int v = _head -> val;
             ListNode *node = _head;
             _head = _head -> next;
             delete node;
             _size--;
             return v;
        }

        void print() {
             if (size() == 0) {
                 cout << "List is empty" << endl;
                 return;
             }
             ListNode *node = _head;
             while (node -> next != nullptr) {
                 cout << node -> val << " -> ";
                 node = node -> next;
             }
             cout << node -> val << endl;
        }

         unsigned long long int size() { return _size; }
         ListNode* head() { return _head; }
};

I've decided to solve a LeetCode problem Reverse Linked List and here's the solution that works:
// Returns the head of the reversed list
ListNode* reverseList(ListNode* head) {
    ListNode* prev = nullptr;
    ListNode* current = head;
    while(current != nullptr) {
        ListNode* next_elem = current -> next;
        current -> next = prev;
        prev = current;
        current = next_elem;
    }
    return prev;
}

The problem is the following: LeetCode doesn't want my main() function, so for testing purposes I obviously used my own. Here it is:
int main() {

    LinkedList L;
    L.add(4);
    L.add(3);
    L.add(2);
    L.add(1);

    L.print();

    LinkedList L2 (reverseList(L.head()));
    cout << PRINT(L2.size()) << endl;
    L2.print();

    return 0;
}

The problem with that function is that I get this error: IO_FILE(3853,0x7fff75d44000) malloc: *** error for object 0x7f92284031b0: pointer being freed was not allocated
I can't figure out at what moment I'm trying to free a pointer that was not allocated. Where am I doing it?

A: It's not quite as I said in my comment, but the the rule of three is still a good read.
The problem is sligthly different: The constructor
LinkedList(ListNode* _h)

Just takes ownership of _h. When you initialize a LinkedList with this constructor like in
LinkedList L2 (reverseList(L.head()));

head is the same in L1 and L2. When those two lists go out of scope both will try to delete the same nodes (which works only once of cause).

The diary of a volunteer
A Skanska volunteer involved in a community project in Kent says it was hard work but incredibly rewarding.
Ludi Hall-Drinkwater from Skanska's facilities team was one of 21 volunteers who helped turn part of Pent Valley Technology College in Folkestone into a sensory garden.
Ludi said: "When we arrived at Pent Valley Technical college at 6.30am on Monday 2 September – having seen the plans and the area we were converting into the sensory garden – I immediately understood the enormity of the task in hand. I wondered how we could possibly do this project in two days.
As soon as we started it was pretty clear that I hadn't realised what I had signed up to. Each task throughout the day was harder than I'd imagined. The majority of the day was spent turning over the soil ready for planting the next day – the ground was unbelievably tough. Each wheelbarrow full of material got heavier and heavier as the day went on.
By the end of the first day, we'd been working for nearly 12 hours. We were all absolutely exhausted. Looking at the garden, the amount of work we'd put in on the first day wasn't immediately obvious. The lack of anything you'd associate with a sensory garden meant it looked like we hadn't achieved much at all, despite all the hard work!
We thought the second day would be easier – but it was just as hard. However it was really exciting to watch the garden take shape. As the trees, turf, plants and shed went in, the garden really began to take shape. However it got to 4pm all too quickly and we were nowhere near finished! The next couple of hours were hectic. Everyone was very stressed trying to ensure that everything was finished in time for the official opening at 6pm. Fortunately, we did manage to finish on time - at 5.58pm!
It was a great feeling looking at the garden when it was complete. I still can't quite get my head round how we achieved so much in such a short space of time. It was hard work but also a lot of fun – it was great to get to know people from Skanska's facilities team and from The Twig Group, Meronden and TRS – It was a great atmosphere, everybody working together."
Skanska's facilities team held a competition through Heart radio in Kent, asking local Kent people to put forward community projects in need of help. Kent residents were then asked to vote on their favourite project out of five that were shortlisted. The winning project was the sensory garden at the Pent Valley Technology College in Folkestone.
The overgrown garden has been transformed over the two day period and includes a pond, benches for relaxing, wheelchair access, fruit trees, bird and bug boxes and scented flowers. The team of volunteers from Skanska and The Twig Group designed the garden and created it with help from local companies Merendon, TRS, A Plant and Palmstead.
Mr Mario Citro, Headteacher at Pent Valley Technology College said: "We are delighted to have been the lucky winners of this competition. We now have a wonderful sensory garden which we will be able to use with all of our students at Pent Valley. In particular we know that some of our students who have specific needs will benefit tremendously from this new facility. We are looking forward to our local primary schools also visiting and using the garden on a regular basis throughout the year."
Jon Chown, Operations Director at Skanska said, "What an amazing challenge and such a fantastic outcome. A brilliant job done by everyone involved."
David Eyre, Director at The Twig Group said, "When Skanska approached and asked us to volunteer for this project we felt honoured to be involved. Our team really enjoy being part of projects that help and benefit the local community."

The 1987 German Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held at the Hockenheimring on 26 July 1987. It was the eighth round of the 1987 Formula One season. It was the 49th German Grand Prix and the eleventh to be held at the Hockenheimring. It was held over 44 laps of the seven kilometre circuit for a race distance of 298.760 km (185.812 mi).
In the week leading up to the German Grand Prix a number of teams tested at the Hockenheim circuit. During testing Ayrton Senna had a very lucky escape when he had a rear tyre failure at over 300 km/h (186 mph) on the long straight leading to the Bremsschikane. The rear corner of his Lotus 99T was destroyed and parts were reported to be hard to find as most ended up flying off into the forest. As a result of the crash Goodyear took the precaution of immediately flying in new compound tyres from their plant in Akron in the United States in time for the Grand Prix weekend.
The tyre failure was determined to be the result of Senna picking up a puncture late on his previous lap. However the Lotus' active suspension system compensated for that and kept the car at its correct ride height, masking the problem from Senna. This caused many to question the system as the general belief was that with a passively suspended car Senna would have known he had a puncture and would not have continued to drive at high speed.
The race was won by eventual 1987 World Champion, Nelson Piquet driving a Williams FW11B. It was his first win of the season and his third win in the German Grand Prix having previously won for Brabham in 1981, and Williams in the previous year. Piquet won by over a minute and a half from Swedish driver Stefan Johansson driving a McLaren MP4/3, who coasted over the finish line on three wheels due to a tyre puncture suffered just past the pits on his last lap. The Swede's second place was the 50th podium finish for the Porsche-designed TAG turbo engine. Piquet inherited the win after engine failure claimed his team-mate, Briton Nigel Mansell, and reigning champion, Frenchman Alain Prost (McLaren MP4/3). Ayrton Senna finished third in his Lotus 99T.
Just seven cars were classified at the end of the race, as the long straights took their toll on engine reliability. Naturally aspirated cars finished as high as fourth place with Frenchman Philippe Streiff leading home a team one-two in the Jim Clark/Colin Chapman Trophy standings for Tyrrell as Jonathan Palmer finished in fifth place. In sixth was French driver Philippe Alliot driving a Lola LC87 for the new Larrousse team. It was Alliot's second top six finish in Formula One and Larrousse's first world championship point, although the Constructor's Championship point would be credited to the chassis designers, Lola Cars.
Piquet's win vaulted him into the championship lead for the first time in 1987, putting him four points ahead of Senna and nine ahead of Mansell.

Trains & Rail Passes
Do I Need Seat Reservations?
Phones & Tech
Sleeping & Eating
Sightseeing & Activities
Theft & Scams
France's high-speed TGV trains always require seat reservations, and usually book up early.
On most of Europe's trains, reservations aren't required, and there's plenty of seating for everyone.
Whether you're traveling with a rail pass or not, it's worth taking the time to figure out whether you need seat reservations on European trains — depending on the route and type of train, reservations can be critical…or a pointless hassle and expense.
To Reserve or Not to Reserve?
Some kinds of trains require all passengers to have reservations (which guarantee you a specific seat), and sometimes it's smart to reserve even when it's not compulsory. But most trains don't require reservations, and the vast majority of trains usually have more than enough seating — so don't make the mistake of over-reserving. Many American travelers waste money and surrender their flexibility after being swayed by US-based agents who profit from exaggerating the need for reservations.
Compulsory Reservations
Your best resource for identifying trains that truly require a reservation is the Deutsche Bahn's online schedule — it's objective, complete, and easy to use.
Though relatively few train types require reservations, those that do are among the most popular. They include a few privately run international trains, such as the Eurostar (which connects London with Paris and Brussels), the Brussels-based Thalys, and a handful of special just-for-tourists trains (such as the Norway in a Nutshell route, and several of Switzerland's specially designated scenic trains).
Aside from these one-offs, many countries have at least one category of high-speed train that always requires reservations — most notably France, Italy, Spain, and Sweden. Some countries have a few long-distance — though not necessarily high-speed — must-reserve routes, such as Finland, Norway, and Poland. Many trains in Britain require (free) seat reservations for passengers with a Eurail Global Pass (whereas anyone with a point-to-point ticket, or a BritRail pass, can hop on these trains at whim — go figure). And you'll need to book ahead (or at least pay a little extra) for a spot on nearly all overnight trains in Europe.
In many cases, these required reservations aren't so much a matter of space constrictions, but a surcharge for the privilege of riding the fastest (or fanciest) train. But on certain routes where all passengers must have an assigned seat, spots can sell out quickly (see "How Far Ahead?" below).
Optional Reservations
Reservations can still be a good idea on trains that don't require them. For example, it's wise to reserve at least several days ahead if you're traveling during a peak time (summer, weekends, holidays), on a route with infrequent service, if you need several seats together (a family with children), or for a train you simply cannot afford to miss.
Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend reserving a seat if you don't have to; most slower regional trains don't even give you the option. Most of the time, trains have plenty of seating for everyone, and even if you wind up on a crowded train, the worst-case scenario is that you'll stand a while before a seat frees up.
How to Make Seat Reservations
For trains that don't need to be booked very far in advance, it's best to simply make all your reservations at one time at any staffed station in Europe.
If you need to lock in your reservations well in advance of your train trip, book them ahead of time from home. It's easiest to get them through ricksteves.com (after all, you're already here!). While reservations may cost a little less when booked in Europe, all US-based websites and travel agents sell European train reservations for the exact same prices you'll find here (though some may charge more).
If you're using a rail pass to cover your train travel, seat reservations cost extra: typically ranging between $5 and $35 (except in Britain, where they're free), with a few more-expensive exceptions.
With point-to-point tickets, however, the ticket price includes the cost of any mandatory reservations (dates, times, and seat assignments are built in, just like with an airline ticket). If you opt to reserve a seat on a train that doesn't require reservations, you'll need to pay a small extra fee.
For more information on passholder reservation fees for popular trains, check this site's country-specific rail pages (see sidebar) for any countries you're planning to visit.
How Far Ahead?
Whether you're traveling with a rail pass or just buying tickets as you go, you can purchase seat (or overnight berth) reservations anywhere from an hour to several months in advance.
How far in advance to reserve any given train also depends on the rigidity of your schedule (do you have hotel reservations or a flight to catch?), how many departures in a day could get you there on time (2 or 20?), and the likelihood of seats (or at least reservations) selling out — consider public holidays and events likely to draw a crowd.
Be aware that trains with compulsory reservations may have a limited number of seats available to passholders (most notoriously France's fastest international services). Along some of the most popular routes, such as between Paris and Italy, direct trains run only a few times per day; these can sell out weeks ahead (and overnight Paris–Italy trains don't accept rail passes at all).
No matter when you're going, I'd recommend booking as far ahead as possible for the following trains:
Eurostar (London–Paris/Brussels/Amsterdam)
TGV (France's high-speed trains, especially international routes)
Thello (direct trains between France and Italy)
Thalys (high-speed Brussels-based trains)
Nightjet (international Austria-based night trains, including the popular Munich–Venice route)

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) has long recognized climate change as a critical issue that needs urgent attention. "The effects and frequency of climate change are increasing in density, causing disruptions in the economy and agriculture is not an exception," said Mr Duncan Samikwa, SADC Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Directorate (FANR) Secretariat representative. He said this during his opening remarks at the Adaptation to Climate Change in Rural areas in southern Africa (ACCRA) Round Table meeting held in Johannesburg, South Africa, from 5-6 March 2020.
The meeting objective was to learn from the ACCRA implementing partners highlights, achievements, and challenges as well as for the Centre for Coordination of Agricultural Research and Development in southern Africa (CCARDESA) and SADC to share their strategies and how they are addressing climate change in agriculture. Potential collaboration opportunities between international cooperation partners and SADC implementing partners was on the top list of the meeting 's objective, including the stimulation of exchange and collaboration between partners.
The ACCRA Program Manager Ms Hanna Sabass intimated that climate change is severely impacting the SADC region where most people depend on agriculture. She mentioned how ACCRA was working with SADC member states to support farmers and pastoralists use more resilient practices to the effects of climate change. GIZ has realized that member states have also prioritized climate change, and there is a willingness to address its impact but the blocker they encounter is lack of funding.
The Round Table heard successes from ACCRA implementing partners including Departments of Extension and Research in Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe, the Wheat and Maize Improvement Centre (CIMMYT), the Herding for Health programme (H4H) implemented by Peace Parks Foundation (PPF), Conservation International (CI) and the Southern African Wildlife College (SAWC), among others, and the Lesotho-based Rural Self-Help Development Association. H4H shared how they have successfully trained 12 herders to become professional eco rangers (8 male and 2 female). They also piloted a shorter version of the course in Mozambique where they trained 40 eco rangers.
RSDA demonstrated their achievements in climate-proofing the sorghum value chain in Botswana and Lesotho. CIMMYT shared how, among other accomplishments, women in communities have been empowered through conservation agriculture which has seen their livelihoods improved compared to their past lives.
CCARDESA also shared the huge strides its projects (ACCRA, APPSA, & CAADP XP4) are making, thereby achieving its research, development and knowledge brokerage mandate in the region.
The meeting also learned from Malawi, Lesotho, Zambia and Zimbabwe how they have scaled out climate-smart agriculture practices including crop post-harvest loss assessments.
The meeting cited some strengths of the CCARDESA information, communication and knowledge management system from a climate-smart agriculture perspective, including valuable ideas for future improvement. Climate risk vulnerability assessments were shared, followed by implementation plans.
A new project under ACCRA, the SADC Climate Risk Analysis and Resilient Development Pathways was presented, and alignment opportunities to the ongoing process in SADC and at CCARDESA discussed. The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) and the Research Programme on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) are the implementers of this program.
On a lighter note, delegates had an evening function during which they all installed the CCARDESA mobile learning mobile app on climate-smart agriculture (CSA) on their phones allowing them to sample the quizzes and CSA technical briefs.
The meeting attracted participants from representatives from the SADC FANR, (CCARDESA; virtually), Ministries of Agriculture / Lands in pilot project countries (Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe), CIMMYT, the Food, Agricultural and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network (FANRPAN), PPF, CI, SAWC, RSDA, CCAFS, SADC/GIZ ACCRA, SADC/GIZ Trans-boundary Use and Protection of Natural Resources (TUPNR) and the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO).

Harper ready to re-name 'Lazarus'
STEVE Harper says he'll have to find a new nickname for Shay Given following his latest injury setback.
Newcastle United's first-choice goalkeeper suffered a recurrence of a groin problem which has plagued him ever since he sustained a stomach injury at West Ham last September.
The latest setback caused Given to leave United's Premier League contest with Arsenal on Bank Holiday Monday before half-time.
Given had rarely missed a game for the Magpies prior to this term and it was his ability to bounce back from injury that has earned the Republic of Ireland international the 'Lazarus' nickname from his goalkeeping colleague. It has also restricted the Seaham born shot-stopper to just 48 appearances since Given arrived at the club nearly ten years ago - 21 of them have come this season.
"Lazarus doesn't seem to fit any more. I can think of a few more, but I probably shouldn't say them," quipped Harper.
"This year has obviously been very frustrating for him. What happened to him at West Ham was awful and whether what's happened since then has been linked to that, who knows, but there's probably a good chance.
"He probably just needs a good break now - maybe break is the wrong word, but certainly a good rest - and whether I play the last few games and he gets himself ready for the summer, who knows?
"It's important to get him back and as fit as possible for July when we start pre-season training, but knowing Shay, he'll be out for two or three weeks, which means ten days for him. He'll probably want to play at Portsmouth."
Harper will come face to face with one of the Premier League's most maligned goalkeepers in David James when he dons the gloves for the clash at Fratton Park today.
The former England goalkeeper, who is one clean sheet away from beating David Seaman's Premiership record of 141 shut-outs, is both loved and loathed in equal measures by the football fraternity, yet never by his fellow professionals.
"David James is a model professional," said 32-year-old Harpper.
"I think he showed great character when he was left out of the England squad and rather than retire, as people might have expected him to, he showed great determination to get back into the set-up.
"He's had an outstanding season.
"If people remember the odd mistake he has made it's only because they choose to. You don't keep 140 clean sheets in the Premier League without being a really good keeper. His record over the years shows it - he's played more games than most people."

Goulash is one of the dishes that you learn in home economics but never seem to get around to serving up to the family.
Goulash is one of the dishes that you learn in home economics but never seem to get around to serving up to the family. I think I last made this way back in 1979 at Great Yarmouth tech! However, as the nights draw in, with thoughts of Halloween and bonfire night on the horizon, this is an ideal dish, a hearty beef stew with the spice of warming paprika. Served with boiled potatoes or boiled rice and a big bowl of bashed autumn roots, I'm sure it will hit the spot.
It's a classic Hungarian dish, sometimes served as a thinner, almost gruel style, soup, and has graced the tables of royalty for many years. I'm using the fashionable cut of beef cheek for this stew, but shin works a treat too - the longer and slower you can cook it the better, so it's ideal for putting in a slow cooker first thing and then enjoying early evening.
With the barbecues safely packed away, we can start to use some the cheaper cuts of meat, and this is where your local independent butcher will really come into its own. Rarely do you see cheek, oxtail, shin and skirt in on a supermarket shelf, but the inclement weather demands we seek out these types of old fashioned cuts. Luckily we are truly blessed with butchers here in the county – we all have our favourites!
1 Cut the beef cheeks, or stewing steak into chunks.
2 Dust with the flour.
4 Heat one tablespoon of oil in a casserole dish or heavy-based frying pan. Fry the beef and brown well, in batches.
5 Set aside the browned meat. Add the remaining oil to the hot pan.
6 Slice the onion and pepper, and chop the garlic.
7 Add the onion, garlic and red pepper to the casserole dish and fry until softened, around five minutes. Return the beef to the pan.
9 Add any of the remaining flour and paprika mix.
11 Pour in the red wine.
12 Season with salt and black pepper.
13 Add the stock or water. Cover with a lid and place in the oven for at least two hours 30 minutes, the longer and slower the better. When the beef is tender, finish the stew with the sour cream and chopped spring onions.
