Wilderness physician Matt Lewin has traveled to the nether reaches of the planet to treat scientists in the field.

It is a dark night on a lonely highway outside Santa Fe, N.M. In the distance on either side of the road, you can still see the looming outlines of stately mesas.
Lewin is not being sarcastic. For him, a drive down a New Mexico highway is something between taking a trip to Disneyland and being subjected to Chinese water torture. Miles upon miles of potential finds lie in wait, but each mile marker represents another lost opportunity. A few times he can't contain himself, and we pull over to look at deposits by the highway.

Lewin is not a professional paleontologist. At best he is an enthusiastic amateur with an exceptionally good eye. Yet as an expert in "expedition medicine," Lewin has been a part of some of the remotest digs on Earth. When a 1-ton dinosaur bone breaks a scientist's leg three days' travel from the nearest hospital, few people are better equipped to deal with it than him.
Lewin's dual passions of medicine and fossils make for dizzying conversation as he switches, rapid fire, between how to fill a dinosaur footprint with plaster and how to use that same plaster to fashion an emergency cast. Back in the car, he lists famous fossil discoveries the way others recite baseball stats, and he holds forth on the many uses of safety pins in an emergency — like pinning an unconscious patient's tongue to his cheek to prevent choking.
I am in New Mexico crashing Lewin's vacation to learn how doctors working days away from civilization respond to emergencies with little more than intuition and a cooler full of medical equipment. Through a new institute he directs in San Francisco, Lewin has become the go-to guy for scientists worried about tropical diseases and exotic poisonous animals, by providing advice, logistics and referrals. But his pathway to expedition doctor was hardly direct.
Matt Lewin was exposed to science as a small child by his father, an industrial chemist, and his aunt, who worked at New York's American Museum of Natural History, where she would often bring her dinosaur-obsessed nephew.
But Lewin's career-defining moment came when Carleton Gajdusek came to his second-grade classroom. Gajdusek had just won the 1976 Nobel Prize in medicine for unmasking a bizarre disease in Papua New Guinea called kuru, a byproduct of ritualistic cannibalism. His presentation was dazzling, with wild stories of jungle adventure. The laureate acted out stages of kuru, which often causes victims to shake or laugh spontaneously. The class was captivated, but none more than the little kid in the front row with the bright-red hair.
After that, Lewin decided to become an exotic adventurer, too. It was a career born of a childhood fantasy. He imagined himself an intrepid dinosaur hunter, trekking through deserts like the ones he saw pictured at the museums in search of the next Tyrannosaurus rex. Windblown, perhaps squinting to the horizon, he would brave scorching sun and exotic predators to save lives, just like Gajdusek did.
Lewin cares for a young patient during a maritime expedition to Indonesia in 2013.
Classified ads for "desert adventurer doctor" are few and far between, so an aspiring student must build his own road map. Lewin got a degree in entomology from the University of California, Berkeley and started looking at medical schools. To avoid hundreds of thousands in debt, he enrolled in a University of Texas program that awards full scholarships to medical students who also complete a Ph.D. Afterward he chose emergency medicine — known for its short spurts of intense crisis — figuring this was as good a place as any to start.
In 2000 Lewin moved to New York for a high-octane ER residency in a part of the city where the emergency room was the closest thing many people had to health insurance. Here he was just one young physician among many, immersed in urban crises. The ER was less a place of Victorian-style contemplation and more one of constant turmoil and compromise, so Lewin struggled. He felt his dream of adventure and love of healing slowly slipping away.
Until one tragic day. It was cold and wet. After five consecutive shifts, Lewin was physically and emotionally exhausted. As he remembers, a woman in her 40s whom I'll call Brenda (to protect her privacy) entered the emergency room, babbling incoherently, her body swollen beyond recognition. A flaky substance called uremic frost, likely the detritus of kidney failure, coated her skin, giving it a greasy feel. Lewin and the others realized she didn't have much time. He told the husband and son to go to the waiting room as Brenda, paranoid and confused, screamed in the background.
They needed to get an 8-inch catheter into her jugular vein to administer medication, but the attending physician, underequipped and overextended, said they didn't have the resources to sedate her. He instead ordered another resident to hold down the hysterical Brenda so Lewin could insert a needle in preparation for threading the catheter. As Lewin lifted the needle, Brenda slipped out of the resident's grip and vaulted onto the 3-inch spike in his hand, impaling her chest and puncturing her lung. She died minutes later.
The attending physician barely blinked as he moved on to the next crisis. Lewin, badly shaken, was left to inform Brenda's son and husband that she had died, offering no other details. They quietly accepted the news, assuming she died as a result of her condition. "She would have died anyway," Lewin remembers the attending physician saying.
After that, Lewin sank into a depression. He went home and wrote a list of the "Ten Things That Can Kill You Quickly." The key for him was to separate the situations in which a doctor needs to rush from those that can benefit from him taking a step back. Choking, for example, or a potent toxin or cardiogenic shock, where the heart is too damaged to function — these things require fast action. In scenarios that didn't make it onto his list, Lewin decided, physicians could take more time.
"Most diseases just don't kill you that fast. It's not like television," he says. "If five seconds makes the difference, then probably the die is cast." That was often the case in the emergency room, which was starting to feel more like a frenzied factory than a place for saving lives. He decided he had to pull away and focus instead on the list, which would later become his mantra.
Cardiogenic shock: Heart cannot pump blood effectively for any reason, such as heart attacks. Some types of unusual heart rhythm also result in sudden death.
Neurogenic shock: A catastrophic drop in blood pressure due to damage to the nervous system. Stroke, bleeding into or around the brain and some broken-neck injuries fit into this category.
Sepsis: A whole-body inflammation in response to an infection. Often called "blood poisoning" by laypeople, it can happen in the lungs or skin and usually accompanies a fever. Left untreated, sepsis leads to multisystem organ failure.
Embolism: A blood clot or nitrogen bubble (the bends) that blocks circulation of blood from the heart to the lungs. Emboli can be pumped from the heart to the brain or other crucial organs, causing deadly complications.
Fluid and blood loss: Essentially, bleeding to death or severe dehydration. When large amounts of fluid leave the body, blood pressure falls dramatically.
Toxic-metabolic-environmental problems: Lewin lumps venoms, poisons, acute electrolyte, glucose and hormone disturbances into one category relating to body chemistry and extreme exposures.
Tension pneumothorax: A hole in the lung that creates a one-way air valve. Air traps in the chest and eventually compresses the heart. It can, potentially, be relieved using a large needle.
Tamponade: An accumulation of fluid or blood around the heart that compresses the heart and causes dangerous drops in blood pressure.
Anaphylaxis and similar reactions: An extreme allergic reaction that can, with fast action, be reversed with drugs like epinephrine.
Choking: This danger can arise from swallowing an object, but also from swelling or trauma. "Everyone should be educated in handling this fatal emergency in babies and adults," Lewin says.
Lewin explains to researchers how to use an injectable snakebite antidote — a conversation that inspired him to make a nasal spray as an alternative.
Bivins was head of the University of California, San Francisco's emergency medicine program in the Central Valley town of Fresno. The program is legendary in the field of wilderness medicine, which refers to the practice of medicine with minimal equipment in remote places. The program is housed in the only major trauma center near the Sierra Nevada, so its doctors handle serious wilderness injuries, such as lightning strikes and snakebites, up and down the mountain range. They also train and advise backcountry medics in several national parks as far away as the Grand Canyon. Their research is a broad mix that includes the long-term effects of rattlesnake venom and new ways to reduce a dislocated hip.
Bivins had gotten Lewin's inquiry and decided to take a chance. At the same time, Lewin overheard a conversation in the museum about two paleontology students who became sick in Mongolia. They got better, but the team was nervous about the mysterious disease. Lewin bolted home to read everything he could on Mongolian diseases and wrote the expedition leader — famed paleontologist Mark Norell — begging for a chance to figure out the diagnosis. Norell took a shine to the eager doctor and agreed. So Lewin asked for blood samples from other paleontologists who visited the region; being scientists themselves, they were happy to roll up their sleeves. Four other members of the expedition had gotten sick, and all of them showed antibodies for North Asian tick typhus, although only two remembered being bitten. Lewin sketched out a paper on the tick-borne infection (later published in The Lancet) and packed his bags for Fresno.
With roots as an agricultural town out of The Grapes of Wrath, Fresno has gangs, high poverty rates and a downtown that is frequently voted the worst in the state. But Lewin thrived there. Fresno offered what New York couldn't: a different way to look at medicine. In the Fresno ER, he treated the usual gunshot wounds and drug overdoses, but he also got to see hikers and climbers, teach medicine to backcountry rangers and give lectures on venomous insects.
Lewin examines a large toad that he found.
Then in 2003, he got a call from Norell. Asia was gripped in panic over the viral respiratory infection SARS, and Norell was nervous about his upcoming dig in Mongolia's Gobi Desert. Remembering the quirky redheaded doctor's eagerness to treat his former crew, Norell invited Lewin to accompany the Mongolian expedition as a medic and fossil spotter.
Most of Lewin's medical work turned out to be keeping people hydrated and upright. (Cracked and blistered feet are a common problem in the Gobi.) He patched up feet, treated sunburn and worked his turns in the kitchen. Then one day, on the way back from a dig, he spotted an odd spherical rock half-exposed in the sand. Looking closer, he discovered it was a dinosaur egg.
A dinosaur egg is rare, but even more so if the embryo is still inside. The only way to confirm it would be to X-ray the egg. So he cataloged it, carefully packed it in a medicine bottle, and flew it to San Francisco. At 3 a.m. he went to the CT scan lab at Fresno's parent campus in San Francisco, registered the fossil as a patient named Egg Kernberg, and scanned it. Inside were forelimbs, legs, scattered vertebrae, the mandible and the base of a skull, all from a distant relative of Triceratops. Eventually, Lewin's discovery found its way onto the cover of the prestigious German journal Naturwissenschaft.
After that, Lewin was a fixture on Gobi fossil trips. He took a job teaching at UCSF and working in its emergency room. The academic calendar allowed him to duck out every year for Mongolia or any of half a dozen other countries. The more trips he went on, the better a medic he became and the more eclectic his publishing. Over the next few years, he co-published papers on performing emergency throat incisions with a hollow plastic spike; the discovery of a large, birdlike dinosaur; the defensive behavior of moth larvae; and how to hum to make your jugular vein more accessible.
Every field site comes with its own set of dangers. As expedition medic, Lewin has to think carefully about every site and plan for the worst.
Meanwhile, he patched up a Mongolian porter who tripped over an open manhole and saved another's life after a cut led to an infection that got out of hand deep in the Gobi. But it was not just cuts and antibiotics. Long, lonely hours in an unfamiliar place can drive some people to drink heavily, get in fights or become depressed. Others just make really bad choices. On one of his earliest expeditions, Lewin brought an acidic callus-removal cream that rapidly dissolves layers of skin. Despite a large, handwritten label reading "Not for face, lips or masturbation," a male student had quietly raided his med kit, leaving Lewin to treat the badly placed wound.
On that same trip, Lewin saw that some doses of Vicodin, an addictive painkiller, had gone missing. Trusting his team members, he hadn't thought to keep the narcotic under lock. Then he noticed some members of his crew acting "unusually chipper." Lewin confronted one of the students, who denied stealing the drugs until Lewin pointed out that with pupils the size of pinpoints, the student was clearly high.
With some members of the crew now afraid for their safety, Lewin found himself on hazardous moral ground. A patient who puts his life or the life of others in danger loses the right to make his own decisions and can be restrained or sedated. So after conferring with the team leader, he offered a glass of wine containing a sedative to the minder, who had been drinking heavily already. He passed out shortly after, allowing the team to pay and make apologies to the bandits, who soon left in peace.
When not on expeditions, back home outside San Francisco, Lewin treated all manner of exotic parasites in scientists returning from the field. In 2004, a scientist who had been surveying elephant seals in Greenland turned up with seal finger — a swollen, purple, bacteria-induced blister found in seal hunters. Then there was the researcher, just back from Myanmar, panicked about a tumor in his lung. Lewin knew that some rare Asian worms form benign cysts in the lung, so he suggested the man get a biopsy before planning an operation. The biopsy came back clean.
Exotic adventures do not pay the bills, so Lewin continued to work in San Francisco ERs. But his guerrilla tactics were not always appreciated in the big city. It wasn't just the crazy hair or regular use of tuxedo T-shirts that riled some colleagues. It was his willingness to abandon standard procedures for what he perceived to be a better solution. When a woman without insurance came to him with a nasty laceration to the head, Lewin sealed the wound by tying the long strands of hair on either side of it together, like laces on a shoe, so the patient could avoid paying to remove stitches. Although this is technically an acceptable treatment, his boss asked him to leave the "Gobi tactics" in the desert.
Not exactly at home in big-city ERs, Lewin decided in 2008 to take a unique position as a medical adviser to the California Academy of Sciences in the heart of San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. The academy is famous for its bright, sunny museum filled with wonders from around the world. Behind the scenes is a maze of offices and storage units carrying bugs, birds, lizards and slimy, furry, stinging critters from every continent on the globe.
Lewin examines preserved biological samples in the specimen room of the California Academy of Sciences, where he is a medical advisor.
People there are welcoming and enthusiastic — a byproduct of working at a museum. But there is one topic no one will discuss. In 2001 Joe Slowinski — a much-beloved, cheerful Midwesterner — was one of herpetology's rising stars, wrangling the world's most dangerous snakes with superhuman ease. That September, he took an academy expedition to the farthest reaches of the Burmese jungle, cataloging new species of reptiles and amphibians. Reaching into the wrong collection bag one morning, he pulled his hand out with a banded krait — one of the world's most lethal snakes — attached. The venom quickly blocked communication between Slowinski's neurons and the muscles they controlled, causing progressive paralysis that made his diaphragm limp, preventing him from breathing. His lungs stopped working, and a little over a day later, he died.
Seven years later, Lewin became a go-to guy for scientists preparing to go into the field. He put together first-aid kits, advised safety measures and planned for emergencies. He helped retool the academy's safety standards, running drills to test and fine-tune protocols for responding to emergencies such as venomous fish bites. He helped design a new system of checks, complete with color-coded labels, to safeguard his colleagues in real life. And in 2010, he created the Center for Exploration and Travel Health, a clearinghouse that academy scientists working in remote sites can turn to for referrals to expedition doctors; it even includes Lewin's home number — which they can call at all hours — in case disaster strikes.
With the center now running, Lewin has turned his attention back to Slowinski and what he calls "the biggest gap in field treatments for 10 things that can kill you quickly." Namely, snakebites.
Snakebites kill nearly 100,000 people worldwide each year, mostly in the developing world. Those who get to a hospital in time receive antivenom and are put on life support, which keeps them breathing until the venom clears their system. But in the field, the only effective treatment is to give a patient mouth-to-mouth for hours or even days. What bite victims in the wilderness need most, therefore, is time. And Lewin thinks he has found a solution. Two common drugs — neostigmine and glycopyrrolate — could buy a victim some time. As the venom snips the lines of communication between the neurons and muscle, the drugs work to enhance the signal — like sending a surge of electricity down an increasingly fraying wire.
Lewin has come up with a travel-friendly nasal spray incorporating the two drugs that could be used in dozens of snake-riddled countries. Last year, after tinkering with the doses on himself, he tested the treatment in the lab. Sure enough, it worked. Now he is searching for funding to build a pilot project to put the spray through clinical trials and eventually distribute a refined product in countries like India, where snakebites cause thousands of deaths before victims can reach the hospital.
Today Lewin has forged the alternate path he first imagined a decade ago while sitting among museum fossils, lamenting the death of a woman from an ER procedure gone wrong. He still works part time in ERs, and when he sees patients, he runs through his list of killers (updated these days with all manner of clauses and addenda). If the problem is not on the list, he takes a step back. The litany "is my daily prayer. It's my calisthenics," he says.
Whether in the ER or the Gobi, the list of quick killers dictates how Lewin thinks about treatment and evacuation. Expeditionary medicine is about good decisions coupled with preparation. Over the next year, he'll fly to Papua New Guinea, India, Australia and Argentina. Before his plane touches down in each, he will be able to recite all the local diseases, venomous snakes, frogs, bugs, and fish, and poisonous plants. He will know where the medical facilities are, what equipment they have and what's broken. He also keeps a list of classically Lewin-esque research questions to explore: How well does honey treat wounds? Can raw eggs make a suitable field dressing? Does hot water actually release a Gila monster's jaws?
We've reached the end of our New Mexico road trip, and we have scoured the side of the road for long-dead sea creatures, found a shark tooth in an ancient seafloor and tracked long-dead worms across fossilized mud. Today, Lewin has managed to pull a few strings to get us a backstage look at the legendary Ghost Ranch. In addition to being the stunning backdrop for countless movies, for 125 years this sandstone formation has yielded a continuous line of important Triassic dinosaurs, like Coelophysis and Dromomeron.
Kneeling next to an active dig of an ancient crocodilian creature, Lewin admits that he is not a paleontologist, but he can pore over a find like this for hours. This quality may seem incongruous with the adrenaline-infused ER, but Lewin disagrees and points to the fossil. "It has a story. Same thing as when you are seeing patients. You are trying to figure out the story," he says. The story of a 200-million-year-old animal or a single disease — the only difference is the pace.
It's impossible to prepare for every emergency, but in addition to standard first-aid supplies, there are a few things Lewin rarely leaves civilization without.
Safety pins: Lewin prefers medium or large. They're crucial for turning shirts into slings, and they can be heat-sterilized and used to relieve blood trapped under a toenail.
Heavy-duty nail clippers: Crucial to a happy team are happy hands and feet. Hangnails, ingrown toenails and other slight discomforts for city dwellers can be misery in the backcountry.
Skin stapler and staple remover: Lewin is a huge fan of these. Like a normal stapler (but not to be swapped with one), skin staplers punch stainless-steel clips over a wound to close it.
Sugar: Never assume that a diabetic has brought it. Lewin brings granular sugar, which he also uses to clean wounds.
Baby aspirin: This is less for pain and more for heart attacks and strokes, which demand a fast blood thinner. The small-size pills allow Lewin to administer just the right dose.
Thermometer: Amazingly, many people don't think to pack this medicine-cabinet staple into their roving med kits. But if a patient has a fever, this is a crucial tool. Taking regular temperature readings will help you distinguish minor bugs from life-threatening disease.
Fingertip pulse oximeter: Combined with a thermometer, a finger oxygen sensor — available at many drugstores — gives a great read on vitals. It distinguishes between someone who is in real trouble and someone who is just short of breath.
Presence of mind: If you have nothing else, this is the most important asset you can bring into the wilderness.

The Carver High Museum & Archives of West Georgia, Inc. (CHMA) is a certified 501 (c) (3) non profit organization formed in 2005 by Carver High alumni with a mission to preserve the history and legacy of George Washington Carver High School and the other historic black schools of Carroll County Georgia.
Carver High opened in the fall of 1954 as a consolidated county located in Carrollton, GA that served Carroll County's African American students from grade 8 through 12. It closed the spring of 1969 when all county schools were mandated to be integrated.
?CHMA sponsors two annual fundraiser (a Ball and a Golf Tournament). Proceeds go to cover CHMA's annual expenses and to support projects that fulfill its mission The "Blue & Gold" in these fundraisers' names pays homage to the school's colors: royal blue and gold. Carver's mascot, the Yellow Jacket, is incorporated into CHMA's logos.
Our last Ball was held in 2011 and had the theme: "A Black & White Affair" all Guests wore black white formal attire. This year's BLUE&GOLD WHITE PARTY is our twist on the ubiquitous "White Party" theme - where guests' attire and venue decorations are in all white. For our Blue&Gold White Party, guests are asked to wear Dressy Summer Whites With Blue and/or Gold Accessories.
An additional attaction for the event is its historic venue - the beautiful, $1million newly renovated The Depot on Bradley Street which was built around 1875. Decorations and food will be executed around an the old school theme of "Juke Joint Saturday Night."
In addition to being a fundraiser, the annual Ball serves as a reunion for former students and faculty of G.W. Carver High School. Attendance is open to all who support CHMA's mission.? Proceeds from this year's event will go toward improving the quality of "The Carver High Experience" traveling exhibit.
*Created and presented a travelling exhibit, "The Carver High Experience," at the University of West Georgia and Carrollton High School in 2011 and at Carrollton High in 2013.
*Will present the Exhibit during the 2013-2014 school year at the five high schools of the Carroll County School District.
*Has sponsored numerous reunions, gatherings and communications venues to keep Carver High and historic black schools alumni in touch with each other.

Thanks to modern technology, we stand today at a precarious point in human history. Never before have we harnessed natural forces so effectively to meet our own needs, and never before has our activity so threatened the world around us. Today we have the capability to seriously damage and permanently change the natural world in which we live through nuclear contamination, environmental degradation, and global climate change. How can we as Christian residents of the planet respond to this situation? I propose that the biblical idea of Sabbath can be a model to help us define our responsibility to the natural world.

Be the best goalkeeper in the world!
Use Arrows to move left/right and Spacebar to kick!
This is great and works perfectly fine for what it is but its not very innovative and doesnt have much to do with evolution but the download works fine. It is a good entry.
This does have something to do with evolution, but not survival of the fittest but rather "pro evolution soccer". Works well, is playable and is a finished game with nice audio.
I like its graphics and sounds, but gameplay could be more interesting.
And as TuxedoFish said it has nothing to do with evolution.
Hahaha great use of the "evolution" theme!
Haha nice idea and i loved voice commentary over!
Ha, interesting use of the theme. Kinda simple game but it works, I guess it's on purpose that there is simply no way to block everything? The audio was good.
Cool logo, music and sounds! The gameplay didnt live up to it but I had fun anyways.
HARD! Damn. Who can dodge 4 balls at once?
It bugs me that you're almost only able to catch one ball from each wave :P. Also, I'm not sure what it has to do with evolution. But it had ingame commentary! Loved that!
That was pretty hard! fun though. well done!
A bit off topic but fun! The graphics and the sound are nice :-D.
I was waiting for the goalkeeper to transform in a giant or something. Too bad it did not happen. Audio was great.
Not quite sure what it has to do with Evolution. But fun game!
Kinda hard to get to the balls in time! I really didn't feel a connection to the theme there, hehe!
I think the gameplay feel could be better.
Art is cool, sound is nice too! I kinda liked the mood!
The game is kinda boring... and when 2 or 3 balls come at THE SAME TIME it's impossible to block all of them, which is a bad design decision.
very polished, but the gameplay wasn't very interesting. i did like that balls could bounce off the post though.
Great graphics, and good fun as a little toy.
Well it was the last thing I was expecting for this LD, I'll give you that!
Well done game. Not another pixel platformer :) haha. Good work!
Solid game, really impressed with the polish and overall lay out. Really would like some pinball effects added to this with balls on fire, bonuses and etc. Good game!
Haha. I loved the voiceover and the grunting.
Interesting take on the theme. Graphics feel consistent, and audio is rather cool - other than that, a little too simple, though I did have fun. Adding some more moves available (like throwing yourself at the ball, etc.) or some bonuses (a lot of blocks in a row = more points) would make this even better IMHO.
A fun little game. It got mad towards the end, with like 3 balls coming at me at once from all different directions. A bit of a loose connection to the theme, but a good entry none the less.
it runs ok on linux but the sound chops in and out, this is normally from using the non-standard sound extensions some jre's have, it still runs ok despite though. I did unzip the jar to check out the music and it is pretty good.
TBH i don't see the evolution tie in, maybe it's a play on words or something (i'm not a sports fan) but i don't quite get it.
This entry made me really happy, actually. The voice acting made me smile and I loved how me failing to block all those balls in the last seconds resulted in continuous booing of the audience.
I actually loved the way you used the theme. 80% of the games I play here are about enemies that keep getting stronger or playable characters that are getting stronger. (guilty!) This game simply puts a funny twist on a game with 'evolution' in the title, and the only thing that evolves is the skill of the player. It's really fresh, and I actually think that using the theme in a way that's unexpected instead of a way everyone thinks the theme should be used should earn you more points for theme, not less. So there you go: 5 stars for theme from me.

Awkward Eating – Eski Caterpillar!
I'm currently at the other end of the state to where I usually am, visiting my sister and newest niece.
My own children would have liked to come with me, especially the youngest. He adores babies; we (he) often stop prams simply by standing in front of them to talk to ANYBODY'S baby. So to have one of our own is a big deal…and she's gorgeous!
Tuesday morning on the way to school and daycare, I reminded him that I was going on the plane that evening.
Does aunty Katie give sandwiches to Perci-Joy?
Love you and so wonderful to spend time with you and the fandambily last night!

Apple's facial-recognition login system in its rather expensive iPhone X can be, it is claimed, fooled by a 3D printed mask, a couple of photos, and a blob of silicone.
Bkav Corporation, an tech security biz with offices in the US and Singapore, specializes in bypassing facial-recognition systems, and set out to do the same with Face ID when it got hold of a $999 iPhone X earlier this month. The team took less than a week to apparently crack Cupertino's vaunted new security mechanism, demonstrating that miscreants can potentially unlock a phone with a mask of the owner's face.
"Everything went much more easily than you expect. You can try it out with your own iPhone X, the phone shall recognize you even when you cover a half of your face," the biz said in an advisory last updated on Saturday.
Regular readers (are their any?) will note that I often rail against Google not policing their Good Play Store. Users think that since it has Google's name on it, it is safe. Not in the least bit. In addition to the fact that the majority of apps have built in spyware, there are even more serious malware laden apps as the following article delineates.
Google has had to pull 50 malware-laden apps from its Play Store after researchers found that virus writers had once again managed to fool the Chocolate Factory's code checking system.
The malware was dubbed ExpensiveWall by Check Point security researchers because it was found in the Lovely Wallpaper app. It carries a payload that registers victims for paid online services and sends premium SMS messages from a user's phone and leaves them to pick up the bill. It was found in 50 apps on the Play Store and downloaded by between 1 million and 4.2 million users.
Cases of malware infecting Google's Play Store are becoming depressingly common. Just last month it was banking malware and a botnet controller, in July commercial spyware made it in, advertising spamming code popped up in May (preceded by similar cases in March and April), and there was a ransomware outbreak in January.
By contrast, Apple's App Store appears to do a much better job at checking code, and malware is a rarity in Cupertino's app bazaar. While some developers complain that it can take a long time to get code cleared by Apple, at least the firm is protecting its customers by doing a thorough job, although Apple's small market share also means malware writers tend not to use iOS for their apps.
By contrast, Google's Bouncer automated code-checking software appears to be very easily fooled. Google advised users to only download apps from its Store, since many third-party marketplaces are riddled with dodgy apps, but that advice is getting increasingly untenable.

Rockton chemical plant explosion prompts lawsuit by Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul
The massive chemical plant near the Illinois-Wisconsin border that went up in flames last month is now being sued by Attorney General Kwame Raoul and Winnebago County State's Attorney J. Hanley for posing a substantial danger to the environment and public health after its plant burned for several days.
The lawsuit comes nearly a month after the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency called on Attorney General Kwame Raoul to take legal action against the Chemtool Inc. plant which makes oil-based lubricants in Rockton — about 10 miles north of Rockford. On June 14, a fire broke out at the plant that caused several explosions with black smoke that could be seen for miles.
"The Chemtool fire rattled the community, displaced residents, and took the combined resources and efforts of several fire departments to get under control," Raoul said in a statement Friday. "Although the flames have been extinguished, the hazard posed to the public and the environment continues, and Chemtool owes the community more information."
The lawsuit accuses Chemtool of polluting the air, unauthorized waste disposal and creating a water pollution hazard. Raoul and Hanley argue that "Chemtool is liable for damages and for the costs the state and Winnebago County have incurred in responding" to the chemical disaster.
It also seeks for Chemtool to assess the extent of the environmental contamination caused by the explosions and for them to take corrective actions that polluted the air, water and land.
The massive explosion forced the evacuations of residents and businesses within a 1-mile radius of the facility, and those within a 3-mile radius of the explosion were told to wear a mask. Several fire departments from Illinois and Wisconsin responded to the fire
The Rockton plant manufactures grease, lubricant oil and fluids and had stored more than four million gallons of crude oil at the facility, according to the Attorney General's office. Officials with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has warned that the crude oil stored in the destroyed chemical plant poses a significant threat to the Rock River which is only about 700 feet away.
The lawsuit also said the facility still has four storage containers that are holding 100,000 gallons of petroleum product which have been "compromised by the fire" and "pose a significant threat to the land" and nearby river.
"The catastrophic fire at the Chemtool facility resulted in significant impacts on local residents and the surrounding community," said Illinois EPA Director John Kim. "The action taken today by the Attorney General's office is an important step to ensure that the company is held responsible for the effects of the fire, which include conducting a thorough investigation and proper remediation."
Alicia Gauer, a spokeswoman for Chemtool, didn't answer questions about the lawsuit but insisted the company will continue to work with regulators.
"We remain devastated by the fire at our Rockton Chemtool site and the impact on the local community," Gauer said. "Throughout this event, we have been working with state and federal regulators to address their concerns and the needs of residents and will continue to do so."

Britain's crackdown on Web comments sparks free-speech debate
By Henry Chu, Los Angeles Times
CHORLEY, England — Everyone agrees that his "jokes" making fun of two kidnapped girls crossed the line. Matthew Woods swiftly became an object of contempt after he posted the crude and offensive comments on his Facebook page.
But did he deserve to be locked up for them?
A judge thought so, and ordered the 19-year-old to spend 12 weeks in jail, essentially for overstepping the bounds of good taste. Woods now sits behind bars — and also in the middle of a growing clash in Britain between freedom of expression, societal mores and the digital revolution.
Woods is one of several people whose use of social media has landed them on the wrong side of the law. They've been arrested, tried in court or otherwise subjected to public censure for posting distasteful opinions or malicious statements online, remarks that would've earned them little more than disapproving looks if they'd said the same thing over a pint in their corner pub.
One man angry about the war in Afghanistan was ordered to perform 240 hours of community service for declaring on Facebook that "all soldiers should die and go to hell." Police also went knocking on the door of a 17-year-old boy who tweeted an insulting message to Olympic diver Tom Daley, saying that he had let down his dead father by failing to win a gold medal. He was arrested, but released and given a warning.
While deploring such sentiments, civil liberties groups and prosecutors alike have registered alarm over the rash of arrests and investigations, concerned about an erosion of free expression here in one of the world's oldest — and most raucous — democracies.
"We are seeing a criminalization of speech that wasn't there before," said Kirsty Hughes, chief executive of the London-based nonprofit group Index on Censorship. "It's seriously worrying."
The source of the controversy is a 2003 communications law that, among other things, makes it a crime to send messages deemed "grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character" through a public electronic network.
Critics note that provision actually comes from an older version of the law from the 1930s and was aimed at protecting telephone operators from abuse. The 2003 act kept that passage, but it was in a world before Facebook, Twitter or other online social networking sites, at a time when the phrase "going viral" hadn't yet gone, well, viral.
Yet the law continues to govern a completely new media landscape encompassing the Internet and its offshoots, an anachronistic situation that critics say should be urgently addressed but probably won't be, given the current government's focus on reviving the British economy.
"The recent spate of arrests shows us that the law is having unintended consequences," said Damian Tambini, an expert on media policy at the London School of Economics. The communications act needs revision, he said, "but legislative reform will not happen for at least two years."
Beyond the law, some observers also detect something deeper at work in British society, what Hughes calls "the beginning of a culture of people thinking they have a right not to be offended."
The trend is evident not just online, they say. Recently a man was sentenced to four months in jail for wearing a T-shirt in public on which he'd written "One less pig" after two policewomen were killed in an ambush in a nearby city. The statute cited was a different one: a breach of public order.
Such punishments can seem shocking to Americans, for whom freedom of speech — even (or especially) odious and hurtful speech — is enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Britain has no written constitution, though it boasts its own long, proud tradition of free expression as embodied in the popular tourist attraction Speakers' Corner in London's Hyde Park, where anyone can get on a soapbox and release his or her inner orator.
The Digital Age has complicated matters.
In a world where mass communication is available not just to licensed broadcasters but anyone with an Internet connection, musings that might originally have been intended for private consumption can reach an audience of millions in the blink of an eye. And words that would quickly disappear into thin air when spoken aloud, even in a public place, can remain alive forever and endlessly shared.
"There are issues with new technology, obviously: We're all publishers now, we're all citizen journalists and all the rest of it. And things going viral and being retweeted and reposted is a whole set of technological and social challenges," said Hughes. "But I think we certainly shouldn't overreact.... If we try to patrol, through law and regulation, every tweet and every Facebook post, we're shutting down the potential the Web is giving us."
That hasn't stopped Britons from complaining to authorities about offensive electronic messages and material, from the trivial to the truly outrageous.
Last year, police were called out to investigate nearly 2,500 such cases, the BBC reported recently. Some police officials have complained that this is not a good use of their time.
The chief prosecutor for England and Wales, Keir Starmer, appears to agree. His office is now consulting police, attorneys and academics to come up with guidelines on what kinds of cases should merit investigation and prosecution under the 2003 law.
One possible marker is whether the messages are actually harassing or threatening, rather than simply distasteful.
"The law prohibits grossly offensive messages, and we've got to work within the law as it is," Starmer told the BBC. But "if there are a lot of prosecutions, it would have a chilling effect on free speech, and I think that's a very important consideration."
Matthew Woods had no inkling that his upsetting comments about the two kidnapped young girls would bring both public opprobrium and judicial punishment down on his head in such heavy measure.
In what he said was a drunken state, the unemployed teen sat at his computer in Chorley, an old mining town in northern England, and tapped out tasteless jokes that he'd found on the Web.
"Who in their right mind would abduct a ginger kid?" he wrote about one of the kidnap victims, a redheaded tyke. Other comments posted on his Facebook page included repulsive sexual references.
Angry responses streamed in almost immediately after he pressed the "send" button. Public vitriol escalated to the point that a mob of about 50 people reportedly gathered outside Woods' house, causing police to take him into custody for his own safety.
His lawyer, David Edwards, said that Woods was suddenly cast as "Public Enemy No. 2," behind the suspected kidnapper of one of the missing girls. Barely 48 hours later, Woods pleaded guilty in court, hoping for leniency. But the magistrate called Woods' action a "despicable crime" and handed down the 12-week jail sentence.
"It's pretty much the maximum that the court guidelines allow. It surprised me no end," said Edwards.
He agrees that Woods' comments were appalling. But he noted that the two people who complained to authorities had actively sought out Woods' Facebook page when they'd heard of the "jokes," then called police afterward.
"There should be a huge distinction drawn between that and directing the comments personally to anybody," Edwards said.
Whether Woods would be subject to prosecution under the new guidelines being drawn up by Starmer's office remains to be seen.
"The threshold for prosecution has to be high," Starmer told the BBC. "We live in a democracy.... People have the right to be offensive; they have the right to be insulting. And that has to be protected."

Q: No attribute 'SMTP', error when trying to send email in Python I am trying to send an email in Python:

I don't quite understand what I am doing wrong here... Anything incorrect?
NOTE: All the periods are replacements for password/email/file paths/etc.

A: Python already has an email module. Your script's name is email.py, which is preventing smtplib from importing the built-in email module.
Rename your script to something other than email.py and the problem will go away.

Jon Gruden Not So Interested In Coaching Again, Resigns With ESPN
I honestly thought that Jon Gruden would stay with MNF for one year, and then roll out to a team in need of a head coach (*ahem* Redskins!), but that's definitely not the case. Gruden has signed a multi-year deal to stay with the network....
Super Bowl-winning head coach Jon Gruden, who joined ESPN in May as a Monday Night Football analyst, has agreed to an exclusive multi-year agreement with the company. Gruden has made a commitment to remain with ESPN.
In addition to his MNF role alongside play-by-play commentator Mike Tirico and analyst Ron Jaworski, Gruden will appear on ESPN's NFL Draft and Super Bowl week coverage, among other platforms, and he will call the 2010 NFL Pro Bowl in South Florida on January 31, 2010. Gruden will serve as an analyst for ESPN Radio's 2010 Rose Bowl and Bowl Championship Series (BCS) title game broadcasts, where he will team with Tirico, and he will be part of SportsCenter coverage leading up to the ESPN on ABC telecasts of both games.
"Working with Mike, Jaws and our entire Monday Night Football team is the most fun I have had in years, and I am fired up to make this long-term commitment to ESPN," said Gruden. "Monday Night Football is special and I look forward to remaining a part of it and continuing to call these great games."
While there's no mention of a "coaching clause", there's no reason to believe he'd re-sign if he wanted to immediately return to coaching. I'm still conflicted on how I feel about him as an announcer, but the move makes sense for ESPN. Even though there are times when he goes overboard with emotion and analogies, he's still better than Kornheiser.

This is a big time decision by a big time guy who hopes to remain with a big time network for a big time length of time.

Confusing headline. I didn't look very closely and I thought it said he quit MNF.
The thing that kills me about the MNF crew is everything is so great. This coach is great, the play is great, the food is great.
That Browns game should be a challenge to find great things. Good luck with that.
FightingPike said...
Gruden leads the MNF booth in grit!!!
Gruden has not been better than TK.
Also: Two posts in one day, AA? You must be exhausted. Go home and take a nap.
Ugh. Awful. Unless that contract has a NO YELLING clause... I hate it.
MNF booth sucks. They've ruined good games why the senseless YELLING about how GREAT so-and-so's whole name is.
Al said...
I'll bet Jon Gruden morphs into the best analyst among his peers -- possibly eventually exceeding John Madden. I however doubt if any announcing team will ever equal "Dandy" Don Meredith & Howard Cosell.
There were instances in the Cleveland-Baltimore game last night that were brilliant-really fun listening to Gruden.

resign vs. re-sign
most confusing mix-up in sports terminology.


Monotonik rounds out 2007 with a bit of a gem – a free digital release of the super-rare Pliant mini-CD 'Musical Endeavor', the quirky video-game inspired electronica blast originally released on New Yorkbased label Systorm Technologies back in 2000.
What do you need to know about this? Well, the super-perky 9 track, 18 minute release is chronicling a fictional video game of some kind, and from the dynamic, spider-bass infused 'Title', it's clear that you're being taken through the game in aural form, thanks to previous Monotonik release Pliant's bleep-pop stylings.
Some highlights? 'Options' is funked-up loping, slightly sinister pseudo-game music, and 'Forest' conjures up previous Monotonik release 'Maruera Gum' with some aplomb, before the super-weird waltz-ish 'Volcano' and the reprise of 'Credits' finish things off in dischordant, intriguing form. Bravo.

Crapo Bill Could Lead to End of Unwanted Robocalls
Bill Colley Published: December 21, 2020
Photo by Andrew Burton/Getty Images.
It was lights out and then sound asleep. One hour later my telephone started ringing. "Hi, this is Senator Jim Risch," a recording explained. Twice I've received the calls when the Senator is hosting a telephone town hall. My number is in Risch's database as I've shared it with staff for some work related issues. He doesn't know I'm in bed at 6:00 P.M. Or the system isn't aware.
These aren't from people seeking my input on government policy.
The town hall calls pale in comparison to what I receive most mornings. These usually start just after 7:00 A.M., Mountain Time and continue through late morning. These aren't from people seeking my input on government policy.
Risch's Idaho counterpart. U.S. Senator Mike Crapo, is looking to bring an end to those morning calls I receive. Over the weekend the Senate unanimously passed a bill that would crack down on robocalls. The bill was introduced by Crapo and he says his goal is to end the calls by "crooks" (he's not referring to any colleagues). It's to bring an end to calls from scammers.
This will require some complex technology, especially on the part of mobile phone companies. A huge block of Americans have dropped old fashioned landlines. The old do not call registry from the 1990s really broke down as the callers realized it was next to impossible for enforcers to track the high volume of calls. Many of the calls are placed from numbers randomly generated.
The bill is evidence Senators have heard constituents.
Crapo was joined by Democrat Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota as a co-sponsor.

Q: Issue when creating overloads with different number of generic parameters The original purpose of this simplified code was to create a generic method in typescript that receive a delegate and an object and returns a new delegate whose signature should be the same of the passed in delegate BUT the "this" context would become the passed in object.
As pseudocode it should be something like this:
f(del(args: ...parameters), context) => del(this: typeof context, args: ...parameters).
I tried a few approaches and all failed.
The following code was the attempt that seemed the most promising, but by the end it failed too.
In the code I did highlight my issue. Basically the typescript compiler is not able to infer the type of the arg1 and arg2 automatically looking at the signature of methodWithDelegate function.
Is there an explanation for it?
Is there a solution?
function createDelegate<TContext extends Object, TReturn, A>(fn: (a: A) => TReturn, context: TContext): (this: TContext, a: A) => TReturn
function createDelegate<TContext extends Object, TReturn, A, B>(fn: (a: A, b: B) => TReturn, context: TContext): (this: TContext, a: A, b: B) => TReturn
function createDelegate<TContext extends Object, TReturn, A, B, C>(fn: (a: A, b: B, c: C) => TReturn, context: TContext): (this: TContext, a: A, b: B, c: C) => TReturn
function createDelegate<TContext extends Object, TReturn, A, B, C>(instance: any, funct: Function): any
{
    return <any>funct.bind(instance);
}

function methodWithDelegate(delegate: (this: string, val1: string, val2: string) => void)
{
    //delegate invokation
}

methodWithDelegate(function (val1, val2)
{
    // OK. val1 and val2 are inferred to be strings.
     val1.substring(2);
});

methodWithDelegate(createDelegate(function (val1, val2)
{
    // ISSUE: val1 and val2 are not inferred to be strings. they remain of type any
    val1.substring(2);
}, "CONTEXT"));

A: I don't have a great answer about why this is happening.  You might want to file an issue on Microsoft/TypeScript asking for an explanation.  No doubt there's some interplay between generic type parameter inference, function parameter inference, and overload resolution going on.
Obviously one workaround is just to specify the type of val1 and val2 to be string... that is, give up on the complicated inference game and just ask for explicitly what you need:
methodWithDelegate(createDelegate(function(val1: string, val2: string): void {
  val1.substring(2);
}, "CONTEXT"));

In my opinion it's good practice to do explicit annotation like this anyway, since I prefer to state my intentions rather than rely on (possibly incorrect) inference from the compiler.  But I understand that you'd prefer something else.

Another workaround is to have no overload, but allow for functions with a large number of optional parameters, like this:
function createDelegate<Ctx extends Object, R, A=never, B=never, C=never, D=never>(fn: (a?: A, b?: B, c?: C, d?: D) => R, context: Ctx): (this: Ctx, a?: A, b?: B, c?: C, d?: D) => R {
  return fn.bind(context);
}

Now we are freeing ourselves from dealing with overload resolution, and the inference goes through the way you want.  Unfortunately, the function parameters will be optional, so even though it infers the type parameters as string, the function parameters will be string | undefined.  So you need to handle undefined in the function, which is why this is a workaround and not a solution:
methodWithDelegate(createDelegate(function(val1, val2) {
  // handle the possible undefined issue
  if (typeof val1 === 'undefined') throw new Error("No");
  // now the following line works for you
  val1.substring(2);
}, "CONTEXT"));

Anyway that's the best I can do.  Hope it helps; good luck!


Back and better than ever: Terrell Bolton now gets to say he made a federal case of his firing. How awesome is that?
Terrell Bolton's already gotten some $1.8 million from the city in retirement benefits. Yesterday, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said, Ya know, maybe we oughta to let one of the worst police chiefs in recent memory get some more money out of the city. Bolton's been gone for three years, but we haven't heard the last of him. Turns out he gets to take his wrongful-termination lawsuit to federal court after all, as the court ruled that the city shouldn't have fired Bolton but, instead, demoted him back to sergeant. Circuit Judge Jerry E. Smith agrees with Bolton's suit, which argues that the city charter allows for that very option.
Even if we were to look beyond the plain language, this interpretation makes sense. The chief of police is a political position, and a chief might be removed for any number of reasons beyond his control. Through this charter provision, Dallas is ensuring officers with considerable length of service that accepting an unstable job will not force them to forfeit their long tenure within the DPD. It reflects a balance between the cty's interest in attracting high quality applicants and its interest in ensuring effective oversight of the officers who fill executive positions.
The city responds by claiming that the two grounds for removal in the charter -- "unfitness for duty" and "for cause justifying dismissal" -- do not exhaust the field of possible reasons for removal of an executive officer. Although admitting that Bolton was not removed for cause, the city alleges that he was discharged because his continued presence would be "disruptive" rather than because he was unfit for duty, a reason for removal that would not trigger � 5. We do not ascribe the same talismanic significance to "unfitness for duty." The language that creates a property interest is "not for any cause justifying dismissal." If a chief promoted from within the ranks is not removed for cause, by the plain language of the charter he must be restored to his previous position.

Best Family Cruises to Keep the Kids Entertained
No chance of hearing the dreaded words 'I'm borrred'. There's a whole universe of fun up for grabs on a family cruise
By Nicole Carmichael on 8 November 2019
Nicole Carmichael
9 November 2019 About 3 months ago
From ballet for babies to Cruise Got Talent for teens, cruising kids are spoiled for choice, and there's massive competition between lines to come up with the best boredom-busters on a family cruise.
Fun is a serious business, says Melissa Mahaffey, director of youth experience at Carnival Cruise Line. "We carry around 900,000 kids a year, and we're known for our fun, spirited onboard atmosphere."
Disney also goes the extra mile to creating ideal family cruises – as you'd expect – and if Mickey and friends are your kids' idea of heaven, they'll just love a Disney cruise.
But it's not only big ships that offer entertainment for all. A-Rosa was the first river line to target the family cruise market, and offers free cruises for kids under 15 – the only river line to do so – on all but its Douro routes. So if you're planning a great escape with little ones, here's where to begin…
A Disney cruise is sure to keep everyone smiling
Best for…Babies
Cruise ships wanting to target families are bursting with kids' club options, but they don't always cater for tiny tots, so we love the Babytainment sessions on Marella Discovery and Discovery 2. Parents and babies are invited to join in nursery rhyme sing-alongs and baby ballet, and can also follow CBeebies' Mr Tumble and learn sign language in Sing & Sign sessions. At least one different Babytainment session is on offer every day and they're available all year round.
Toddlers and water are a match made in heaven
7-night 'Mediterranean Gems' cruise aboard Marella Discovery 2, round trip from Naples via Barcelona, departing
6 May 2020, from £753 based on two adults and two children sharing an inside cabin on an all-inclusive basis, tui.co.uk/cruise
7-night 'Magic of Spain' cruise aboard Marella Discovery, round trip from Palma via Gibraltar, Lisbon, Cadiz, Malaga and Cartagena, departing 27 June 2020, from £881, based on two adults and two children sharing an inside cabin on an all-inclusive basis, tui.co.uk/cruise
Best for…Family Suites
Imagine your kids zooming down a slide to land on the floor of your hotel suite. Not to mention having their own floor-to-ceiling wall of Lego, an 85in TV, a private 3D cinema, an air hockey table and a bumper pool on the balcony. That's what's on offer in the aptly named Ultimate Family Suite on Royal Caribbean's Symphony of the Seas. If you're after the trip of a lifetime and serious fun for serious amounts of cash, this could be for you.
7-night 'Western Caribbean & Perfect Day' cruise aboard Symphony of the Seas, round trip from Miami via Honduras, Mexico and Bahamas, departing 29 August 2020, cruise only from £6,178, based on two adults and two children sharing a Junior Suite, royalcaribbean.co.uk
7-night 'Eastern Caribbean & Perfect Day cruise' aboard Symphony of the Seas, round trip from Miami via St Thomas and Bahamas, departing 5 September 2020, from £25,732 based on two adults and two children sharing the Ultimate Family Suite, royalcaribbean.co.uk
Royal Caribbean's Ultimate Family Suite is a dream come true – at a price
Best for…New Attractions
With so much competition between cruise lines to offer bigger and better family activities, sone of the biggest draws are the incredible swimming pools and waterparks. Carnival Cruises has a great range of kids' (and big kids') facilities. From late this year, guests will be able to bounce around at the first trampoline park at sea, Sky Zone on board Carnival Panorama,
and from August 2020, thrill-seekers on Carnival's brand new ship, Mardi Gras, can take a trip on the first ever cruise-ship rollercoaster, which is part of The Ultimate Playground.
7-night 'Mexican Riviera' cruise aboard Carnival Panorama, round trip from Los Angeles via Cabo St Lucas, Mazatlan and Puerto Vallarta, departing 9 May 2020, from £1,160 based on a family of four sharing two Family Harbor inside cabins, carnival.com
6-night 'Canada & New England' cruise aboard Mardi Gras, round trip from New York via Portland, departing 24 September 2020, from £1,377 based on a family of four sharing two Family Harbor inside cabins, carnival.com
Carnival Horizon's WaterWorks gives Dr Seuss fans the chance to make a splash
Best for…Teens
Forty per cent of the guests on board MSC cruises are 13-17 year olds, so a new raft of teen-focused entertainment activities has been designed with them in mind. There's plenty for teens to do on MSC Bellissima, and those lucky enough to be cruising on MSC Grandiosa can take part in MSC Dance Crew (developed by the Britain's Got Talent and X Factor team) for a chance to win Dance Crew of the Year. There's also Drone Academy, a high-tech, high-energy drone relay race; Spy Mission, MSC's first immersive roaming spy experience, and a brand-new web series, Cabin 120006, targeted at teens.
7-night 'Mediterranean' cruise aboard Grandiosa, round trip from Marseille via Genoa, Naples, Messina, Valletta and Barcelona, departing 4 April 2020, from £2,176 based on two adults and two children sharing a balcony cabin, msccruises.co.uk
7-night Mediterranean cruise aboard Grandiosa, round trip from Genoa via Naples and Barcelona, departing 25 October 2020, from £1,936 based on two adults and two children sharing an inside cabin, msccruises.co.uk
On board MSC ships, teens get their own theme nights
Best for…All Ages
P&O has long been a favourite of British cruisers young and old, and new ship Iona is broadening the line's appeal to families with great age-specific kids' clubs and immersive family game shows. From May 2020, younger guests will also be able to enjoy new family-friendly excursions including a wilderness kayaking adventure in Norway, a trip to the Atlantic Sea Park – one of Europe's largest saltwater aquariums – and an adrenaline-pumping day at Entre Ramas Adventure Park in Cadiz. Meanwhile, thanks to all those P&O home comforts, Mum, Dad and the grandparents will be happy, too.
Cruises tailored to all members of the family, no matter what age
7-night 'Norwegian Fjords' cruise aboard Iona, round trip from Southampton via Stavanger, Alesund and Bergen, departing 12 September 2020, from £1,716 based on a family of four (two children under 16), pocruises.com
14-night 'Canary Islands' cruise aboard Iona, round trip from Southampton via Madeira, Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Cadiz and Lisbon, departing 20 February 2021, from £2,000 based on a family of four, pocruises.com
Top 5 family cruise must-haves
Age-relevant kids' club
No matter how friendly they may be, it's unlikely your 15-year-old will be happy hanging out with a gang of under-tens. Have a good look at the cruise line's website before you book anything.
Plenty of dining options
Nearly all of us have a picky eater in the family, so make sure there's a choice of eateries for everyone. Look for a cruise with flexible dining times, too.
It's likely to incur an extra cost, but having the option of a babysitting service on board frees up parents for at least one child-free day or evening. If you're planning a tour around an archeological dig, it may not be best for baby…
Buggy-friendly facilities
Sometimes ships have to anchor outside ports for shore excursions and lifeboats are used to ferry people ashore. This may be problematic for prams and push chairs, so check before you book.
Easy travel arrangements
While the cruise itinerary and facilities may be perfect, consider the logistics of getting your family on board. Will you need to catch multiple flights and get through lengthy transfers before the holiday even begins?

Dear Tiffany Trump: Here's how you can succeed in law school
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 09/08/2017 - 12:49pm
President Trump's youngest daughter is the first first-daughter to enter law school while her father is in the White House, so we've put together a primer to help her get started.
Welcome to law school, Tiffany Trump.
The next three years will not be easy. Every law student encounters challenges, and despite your last name, we expect you'll be no different.
You may be embarrassed when answering a question incorrectly in class. Everyone is at some point. (Of course, your class- mates may tweet about it.)
You may feel like you're drowning in the heavy workload. There are ways to stay on pace. (Maybe your Secret Service detail can help you stick to a schedule?)
And, you're going to be stressed. Very stressed. Don't forget to take care of your- self. (We'll know if you're having fun outside law school just by checking your Instagram account.)
