"We just have to say that we've had several experiences with Cedar Travel in planning vacations and never once have they failed us. Disney World a while ago and now our first ever Las Vegas trip. ..... our Vegas trip was definitely a highlight in its own way. It was our first time in Vegas and Cedar Travel provided us with information that helped us get to know Vegas. The hotel was awesome and we definitely are planning our next trip. Cedar Travel has always provided prompt service, great information and great ideas. Plan on!!!! "
"We had a great trip to New England for our son's wedding. Everything was just as planned and there were no problems. The airline was very accommodating with helping my wife and her wheelchair. The hotel was fantastic and had everything we needed. We would definitely stay there again. We had perfect weather the whole week we were there and put on about 1,100 miles traveling throughout New Hampshire and Vermont. We will be going out there again someday and will call you to handle everything again. We couldn't be happier with how things worked out!"
"Thanks so much for all your help booking our trip! We are so excited and it's always so great working with you! Thanks a bunch!"
"Our family had been tossing around the idea of a Disney World vacation for months. However, there were so many questions and plans to coordinate that the process was overwhelming. I decided to just walk into Cedar Travel to see what kind of clarification I could get regarding prices and packages. I walked up to Ronda's desk and had a wonderful chat about all my options. I booked the package that same day! Ronda continued to assist me as I thought of other questions before our departure date. By the time of the trip, all the details had come together perfectly. We had a fabulous trip!"
well worth it! Thanks for the advice on taking a tour versus going it on our own!

Best Overall: Sony God of War
Buy on Amazon Buy on Best Buy Buy on Walmart
New setting
Satisfying combat
Jumping is contextual only
Swimming ability is gone
The latest entry in the God of War series is easily the best one, and one of the best games available for the PlayStation 4, period. God of War (2018) takes a radical departure from its predecessors, abandoning the glittering marble and gold of Greek Mythology in favor of the dark, gritty forests and runic magic of Norse myth. Players once again take on the role of Kratos, but can also utilize his son Atreus in combat to pick off straggling or weak enemies while you take down stronger ones. Kratos has laid aside his Blades of Chaos and now uses an axe imbued with magic, which serves as both a weapon and exploration tool. Players not only deal devastating blows and quick combos, you can throw the axe like a boomerang to stun enemies or freeze them in place to buy time to dispatch stronger foes.
Players can upgrade skills, abilities, and weapons for both Kratos and Atreus as they collect experience points as well as Iounn Apples and Horns of Mead (which replaced the red and green orbs), allowing them to take on stronger and stronger bosses. What really sets this game apart from the rest of the series is its use of single-shot style camera work. This means that both cutscenes and gameplay run seamlessly into one another, without loading screens, to give a more cohesive feel as you progress through the story and combat.
"God of War mixes brutal action and challenging puzzles against the backdrop of Norse mythology and the relationship between Kratos and his son. It makes for an incredibly compelling game." — Ajay Kumar, Tech Editor
Best Multiplayer: Blizzard Entertainment Overwatch
Buy on Amazon Buy on Walmart
Tons of characters
Special events year-round
Local and online multiplayer
Loot boxes can be costly
Role selection may not be for everyone
No crossplay
Overwatch Review
Overwatch was released in May, 2016, and has established itself as one of the best multiplayer games of all time. It pits two teams of 5 players against each other in a variety of different matches that involve controlling areas of a map or escorting a payload to different checkpoints. There are over 30 different heroes to play as, each with their own unique weapons, attacks, and special abilities; more are being added regularly, keeping gameplay fresh and interest in the game high. An updated added a role selection screen, locking players into preferred roles such as support, DPS (front-line fighters), and tank (heavy-hitters and damage sponges). This limits which characters you can play as, and once a role is chosen, you cannot switch once a match has started. The upside to this is that it greatly reduces the likelihood of having an unbalanced team.
You can play in local matches with friends or online in casual or ranked matches to gain experience points. With enough XP, you get free loot boxes which give you character skins, sprays, voice lines, and in-game currency; you can also purchase loot boxes if you want to take more chances to get a legendary skin. Throughout the year, Blizzard has in-game events featuring special character skins, profile pictures, and emotes.
"The models are sleek looking, and each of the characters feels like it fits into the same world. Maps are also different and visually interesting, with lots of great details." — Kelsey Simon, Product Tester
Best Graphics: CD Projekt Red The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
Buy on Amazon Buy on Walmart Buy on EBay
DLC available
New game plus mode
Dense lore may be deter newcomers or anyone who hasn't read the novels
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was released in 2015 by CD Projekt Red. The story has Geralt of Rivia on a search for his missing adopted daughter, Ciri, as she flees from the Wild Hunt. Geralt uses magic as well as two swords, one of steel and another of silver, to battle monsters and human enemies. By completing the various main and side quests available, players gain experience points and gold to spend in order to upgrade Geralt's abilities or buy better armor and weapons. Player choices can affect the main narrative of the game, resulting in several achievable endings; this makes replay value high since players can go back and make different decisions to see how they affect the ending.
There are two DLC expansions, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, which follow Geralt on bonus missions to track down mysterious entities and dangerous beasts. With the New Game Plus mode, players can start a new game with all of their weapons and abilities intact, allowing them to take on difficult challenges right away or access previously closed off areas. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has won numerous game of the year awards as well as awards for its narrative, visuals, and design.
"The morally complex choices, compelling worldbuilding, and excellent graphics makes Witcher 3 one of my favorite games of all time." — Alice Newcome-Beill, Associate Commerce Editor
The 8 Best PS4 Party Games
Best Role-Playing Game: Atlus Persona 5
Buy on Amazon Buy on Gamestop.com Buy on Playstation.com
Some multiplayer elements
Approachable gameplay
Excellent music
English localization isn't the greatest
In Persona 5, players take on the role of a high school student known only as Joker after he has been falsely accused of assault and was forced to transfer schools as a result. The story takes place over the course of a regular school year, and Joker meets fellow students with special powers, creating a vigilante group to take down the evil that grows in the hearts of adults around them. The gameplay is a blend of school and life simulators as well as traditional dungeon-crawling RPGs. Joker can work part-time jobs, create items, or explore the town in order to raise his or his teammate's attributes in order to gain battle bonuses.
The turn-based combat system lets players use both melee and ranged attacks as well as summon Personas to perform special attacks. This makes combat a multi-layered, fast-paced affair that lets you take several different approaches to enemies in order to gain the upper hand or dispatch them quickly. There are even some multiplayer elements to the game. Players can use the Thieves Guild feature to see what other players have done during any given day and send messages to one another to gain small combat buffs. The narrative focuses on Joker and his companions' desire for freedom from social expectations, their need to find their own place in the world, and growing distrust of the adults in their lives, which closely mirrors many typical adolescent journeys to independence in books, movies, and games.
Best Fighting Game: NetherRealm Studios Mortal Kombat 11
New finishing moves and block mechanics
Custom character creation
Tedious grinding
Many microtransactions
Mortal Kombat 11 is one of the most recent additions to the iconic series from NetherRealm Studios. It uses a 2.5D gameplay style, meaning that the characters and environments use 3D modelling, but only move on a two-dimensional plane, which brings a fresh feel to the classic series. Along with familiar characters and movesets, MK11 introduces new features like Fatal and Krushing Blows which are special, high-damage attacks that can only be performed under certain conditions. The Flawless Block is also a new addition, letting players counterattack after perfectly blocking an opponent's attacks.
The Mercy finisher allows you to revive an opponent and give them a small amount of health in order to continue the match. Players can use the custom variation feature to select different outfits, weapons, and movesets to create a personalized character to practice combos with or take on local or online multiplayer matches. There are 25 base characters in the game, including iconic ones like Sub-Zero, Sonya Blade, and Johnny Cage, and you can unlock 12 more fighters via DLC or microtransactions.
Best Remaster: Team Ico Shadow of the Colossus
Buy on Amazon Buy on Walmart Buy on Gamestop.com
Improved control scheme
Improved visuals
Good frame rates
Camera can be frustrating during combat
The 2018 version of Shadow of the Colossus is a remake of the original 2005 game that was released for the PlayStation 2. The developers at Bluepoint Games remade every asset in the game from the ground-up, using ultra-high definition art to take advantage of the PS4's hardware capabilities. While gameplay is nearly identical to the original game, the control scheme was reworked to be more intuitive for newcomers and returning fans alike.
The game can run at 30fps in 1080p on the PS4 or at 60fps in 1440p on the PS4 Pro, letting you see every detail from the wind in the grass as you search for the colossi to the cracks and gouges in a colossus as you battle to take it down. The Shadow of the Colossus remake has been nominated for several game of the year awards and has won other awards for its fresh take on a fan favorite game.

Best Open World Game: Sucker Punch Productions Ghost of Tsushima
Buy on Amazon Buy on Playstation.com
Gorgeous setting
Fun combat
Open world can feel empty at times
Side quests can be tedious
Ghost of Tsushima takes place in 13th century Japan and has players take on the role of Jin Sakai as he embarks on a quest to rescue his uncle, Lord Shimura, from the occupying Mongolian forces. Gameplay allows players to choose between outright combat with enemies or using stealth to avoid combat altogether or pick off enemies one-by-one. Jin has a variety of items and weapons at his disposal including a grappling hook for scaling walls or reaching high areas, firecrackers and smoke bombs to create distractions and disorient enemies, and kunai knives to take down multiple enemies at once. Jin learns new fighting moves from characters he meets along the way, allowing him to battle increasingly stronger enemies.
The game takes players through multiple regions like forests, villages, and mountainous areas, giving the game's open world setting a diverse feel that unfolds naturally as players progress. Along with the main story, a multiplayer expansion has been added, allowing players to take on new story missions or join 4-player combat missions; it also allows players to start a new game plus, allowing them to play the game from the beginning with all of their high-value gear and fully upgraded abilities against tougher enemies for more of a challenge.
Best Action Game: Guerrilla Games Horizon Zero Dawn
Fast and fun combat
Deep skill tree
Interesting setting and narrative
Bland NPCs
Clunky enemy AI
Horizon Zero Dawn follows Aloy, an outcast among her people and living in a post-apocalyptic far-future, as she explores various locations and unravels the mystery of why the robots who rule the land have become more and more aggressive toward humans and what happened to the people that came before her. Players can craft a variety of items like tripwire traps, specialized arrows, bombs, and health items to take down both human and robotic enemies, as well as upgraded items like quivers, weapons, and resource satchels to carry more raw materials and ammo.
Experience points can be spent in the skill tree to improve Aloy's stealth, combat, scavenging, and healing abilities. The DLC expansion, The Frozen Wilds, adds the ability to jump off of mounts to attack enemies, making combat on-the-go easier and. Throughout the world, Aloy may encounter Corruption Zones, areas that are populated by much more aggressive machines; clearing these areas gains experience points and resources in droves. Campfires allow Aloy to fast travel to places she has visited before, drastically cutting travel time across the huge map. There are also a vast number of collectible items scattered around the map to encourage players to explore every nook and cranny of the world.
"If you take the gameplay and combat of Tomb Raider or Assassin's Creed Odyssey. mix it with robot dinosaurs and a young adult female protagonist, you get Horizon Zero Dawn. It's my favorite game to play on the PS4." — Ajay Kumar, Tech Editor
Best Horror Game: Naughty Dog The Last of Us Part II
Excellent character performances
Great audio design
Excellent narrative
Ending may leave some players dissatisfied
Second half of the game feels slow and plodding
The Last of Us Part II thrusts players back into the familiar world of an America overrun by mutated zombies. Players take the role of Ellie this time as well as a new character, Abby, gaining insight and understanding as the characters' stories intertwine and feed off of one another. Much like its predecessor, gameplay relies heavily on stealth and exploration to navigate each area, avoiding zombies and uninfected human enemies altogether. The difficulty system determines how many resources like ammo and crafting supplies are available to players, with the highest difficulty making ammo and health items especially scarce; this works very well to heighten the sense of urgency and danger when encountering enemies.
Human and zombie enemies alike use an improved AI system to make combat more realistic by calling for reinforcements or taking advantage of Ellie and Abby while they reload or deal with another enemy. Human enemies also use guard dogs to track your scent, making stealth more challenging at times. Since Part II takes place several years after its predecessor, the world Ellie and Abby navigate feel more abandoned and empty, resources and uninfected strongholds coming up further and further apart; it adds a sense of desperation and loneliness that the first game didn't have, serving to heighten the relationships between characters and horror of navigating a world filled with more monsters than people.
The 8 Best PlayStation 4 Shooter Games of 2021
Best Crime Game: Rockstar Red Dead Redemption 2
Plenty of story and side missions
Offensive portrayals of Native Americans
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel to its 2010 predecessor, following the outlaw Arthur Morgan as he navigates an increasingly civilized Wild West and comes to terms with his differences with his gang leader. The positively huge world map contains fictionalized regions based on the western, midwestern, and southern United States, and is filled to the brim with main story missions and side quests. Being a Rockstar game, RDR2 has a system much like the Grand Theft Auto games where player actions can trigger law enforcement reactions, resulting in bounty hunters and sheriff's deputies alike tracking your movements throughout the region in order to capture or kill you.
The honor gauge allows players to see how completing, or not completing, a mission or task will affect their public image. High and low honor affect the story in different ways, opening up different dialogue options with NPCs and branching narrative paths; honor levels also unlock specific outfits and benefits like store discounts or more items looted from a corpse. Arthur Morgan can take on side missions like bounty hunting to earn money, duelling strangers, and even hijacking stagecoaches and trains for loot. Red Dead Redemption 2 has been praised for its storytelling, setting, and gameplay that weave together as authentic a Wild West experience as players can get.
God of War is a high-water mark for the PlayStation 4, combining fun combat, engaging gameplay, and a compelling story to create a well-rounded experience. The departure from Greek mythology breathes new life into the series with new locations to explore and new abilities to try out on enemies. The Shadow of the Colossus remake does its best to faithfully recreate a PS2 fan-favorite. All of the game's assets were rebuilt from the ground up to look excellent in both 1080p and 4K, and the improved control scheme makes combat and gameplay more approachable for returning and new players.
Our expert reviewers and testers use several factors to evaluate the quality of PlayStation 4 games. We play through each game, judging the game based on the coherence of its plot, the quality of its graphics, and the overall enjoyment of its key gameplay loop. We balance the subjective elements of personal likes and dislikes, with an overall view of the genre as a whole and the value proposition offered by the games in terms of length and payoff. We also compare each game to a similar rival to help us make a final evaluation. Lifewire purchases each game; we do not accept review codes.

What to Look for When Buying PS4 Games
Gameplay - The way in which you interact with other players and the game's challenges, also known as gameplay, will largely determine your experience. In cooperative gameplay, for instance, you'll team up with other players and work together to defeat an AI opponent, whereas in competitive gameplay, you'll be pit against other players. In linear gameplay, you'll be tasked with challenges must be completed in a specific order, whereas in nonlinear gameplay, there can be many sequences. Consider what you're looking to get out of your gaming experience and choose accordingly.
Graphics - Graphics are separate from gameplay. In general, the more realistic the graphics, the more immersive the game will be. That's not always the case, though, because not all games are intended to be realistic. Some cartoon games are equally as enveloping, especially if they are geared towards younger kids.
Rating - "Rated T for Teen," "Rated E for Everyone." These are phrases you hear at the end of every video game commercial, but what does it really mean? The letter rating in the corner of each video game box displays its Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rating and it's made up of three parts: Rating categories ("E" for everyone; "E10+" for ages 10 and up; "T" for teens; "M" for mature 17+; and "A" for adults only), Content Descriptors (Comic mischief, mild language, etc.) and Interactive Elements (In-Game Purchases, Users Interact, Shares Location, Unrestricted Internet, etc.). Be sure to check this before buying a game, especially if it's a gift.

Q: IPv6 Postfix can receive emails but cannot send I installed postfix mta and configure to work with IPv6.
I tested sending an email from gmail to my vps and the email has been received but when i want to send an email to gmail i get timeout like below:
Sep  6 05:55:59 vpsunder10 postfix/smtp[9613]: connect to gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[2607:f8b0:4002:c01::1b]:25: Connection timed out

Sep  6 05:57:59 vpsunder10 postfix/smtp[9613]: connect to alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[2a00:1450:4001:c02::1b]:25: Connection timed out

As i see from the logs MTA tries to connect on port 25 which i think is closed.
Any ideas what is the problem?

A: Port 25 is indeed filtered by HE.net because of abuse. See this thread. For sake of reference, I pasted the post below:

Due to an increase in email abuse, new non-BGP tunnels now have SMTP
  blocked by default.  If you are a Sage, you can re-enable SMTP by
  visiting the tunnel details page for that specific tunnel and
  selecting the 'Unblock SMTP' option under the Advanced tab.  Because
  this is now also being abused, we've disabled SMTP for new accounts
  for now, and the Sage removal is not available for those.  If you need
  SMTP (tcp/25), please email ipv6@he.net and explain your need for it.
  SMTP-MSA (tcp/587) is unaffected.  Existing tunnels have not been
  filtered.
This does not affect certification e-mail tests, since that traffic is
  still explicitly permitted.
Here's the matrix of how the blocking is implemented, since people
  seem to be a little confused. Account Date    Tunnel Date Certification
  Level SMTP Status Before this post    Before this post    Any Not filtered
  Before this post  After this post Not Sage    Filtered Before this
  post  After this post Sage    Option to unfilter under 'Advanced' After
  this post n/a Not Sage    Filtered.  Contact ipv6@he.net if needed, with
  your use justification.  Do note, non-Sages will likely need more
  detailed justification. After this post   n/a Sage    Filtered.  Contact
  ipv6@he.net as above, with your use justification.

Q: ManualResetEvent.WaitOne blocks all threads i have following code
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(DownloadAsync), apiMethod);
downloadHandle.WaitOne();

Where DownloadAsync is
private void DownloadAsync(object _uri)
        {
            var url = _uri as string;
            WebClient client = new WebClient();
            client.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(client_DownloadStringCompleted);
            client.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri(GLOBALS.MAIN_API_URL + url, UriKind.Absolute));
        }

void client_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
        {
            result = e.Result;
            downloadHandle.Set();
        }

So my problem is that downloadHandle.Set() will never called. But i don't understand why? I Create a new thread for DownloadAsync and downloadHandle.WaitOne() shouldn't block him.
That i need is create a Sync method instead of Async.
Thanks!
UPD: Updated source code with Async calling.

A: client.DownloadString is synchronous method, so your completed handler will never be called. You need to call asynchronous version: client.DownloadStringAsync()
You can read more about DownloadStringAsync on msdn. It's also wise to put code in try-catch block and handle exceptions if you are relying on the fact, that some code should be called.
Your code could look like this:
private void DownloadAsync(object _uri)
{
    try
    {
        var url = _uri as string;
        WebClient client = new WebClient();
        client.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(client_DownloadStringCompleted);
        client.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri(GLOBALS.MAIN_API_URL + url, UriKind.Absolute));
    }
    catch //appropriate exception
    {
       //Handle exception (maybe set downloadHandle or report an error)
    }
}

void client_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    result = e.Result;
    downloadHandle.Set();
}

A: There might be an exception that prevents the completion callback method from being called. Did you check whether it was called at all?
By the way, you don't actually need to use the thread pool here -- you can call DownloadAsync() on your main thread, because it does not block.

A: My guess: you're calling downloadHandle.WaitOne() from the UI thread. If you're executing code from an UI event handler (for instance, a click to a button, or a navigation to a new page), or a function called by the event handler, then you're in the UI thread.
Why is this a problem?
Sure enough, DownloadAsync is executed in the background, thanks to the threadpool. However, the WebClient class always executes its callback (that is, your client_DownloadStringCompleted method) using the UI thread... But this very same thread is blocked by your downloadHandle.WaitOne()!
That's why, when you put a timeout on your lock, the client_DownloadStringCompleted method gets magically executed.
How to fix this? Two solutions.
1/ Stop executing downloadHandle.WaitOne() in the main thread. It blocks the user interface and your application becomes unresponsive, which is never a good thing.
2/ Use HttpWebRequest instead of WebClient. HttpWebRequest executes the callback on the same thread that started the download, so you won't have this deadlock issue.

A: When you call downloadHandle.WaitOne(); from UI you block UI thread, so ThreadPool will never called. Move to background this:
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(new WaitCallback(DownloadAsync), apiMethod);
downloadHandle.WaitOne();

Dethscalator - Racial Golf Course, No Bitches
If you're not sure what to make of this London band on first glance, join the club. I wasn't either; more specifically, I was put off a little by the sheer ridiculousness of the album artwork - it takes the whole concept of an album sleeve to head-scratchingly obtuse levels - but the whole idea of judging a book (or in this case an album) is that you don't reach your verdict by looking at its cover.

If you're not sure what to make of this London band on first glance, join the club. I wasn't either; more specifically, I was put off a little by the sheer ridiculousness of the album artwork - it takes the whole concept of an album sleeve to head-scratchingly obtuse levels - but the whole idea of judging a book (or in this case an album) is that you don't reach your verdict by looking at its cover. Besides, they called themselves Dethscalator, so one can't imagine that they're taking themselves too seriously, image-wise. There are two things they're much better at: naming their albums and songs (among the latter, there's a track called 'World War II Hitler Youth Dagger'), and the actual music that makes up their similarly brilliantly/bafflingly-named debut, Racial Golf Course, No Bitches.
Since their formation in 2008, it's taken Dethscalator five years to get to this point (and that's a long time by anyone's margin), but the album is definitely worth waiting for. Fans will go into the album expecting caustic melodies and searing riffs, and that's exactly what RGCNB offers up, to the extent that some listeners may require emergency head reattachment surgery after a listen to this album. It really is that powerful: if you don't get ferocious opener 'Black Percy', then this album probably isn't for you - unless, of course, you're in the mood for the more spaced-out sounds of 'Felt Leg' or the doom-laden crunch of 'It's What They Call the Clubhouse, Arsehole' (yes, they actually called a song that). Dethscalator's sound is difficult to pin down, broadly fitting into the 'noise rock' genre but displaying plenty of other facets as well.
There are moments of strangely melodic madness, of course; even when getting by on two chords, as they do on the punishing noise of 'Midnight Feast', the band manage to do so with aplomb, taking those two chords and wringing every last drop of juice out of them before the song comes clattering to a halt in a blaze of feedback. They even venture into doomy territory on 'Internet Explorer and Friends', the flanging guitar and slow-paced drumming combining to create a sense of dread that makes that song one of the gloomier moments on the album, but no less noticeable when placed next to the completely unhinged album closer 'Pine Pot', which brings the album shuddering to a halt with an astonishingly intense blast of noise. Racial Golf Course, No Bitches certainly isn't for the faint of heart, but it's nice to be taken by surprise once in a while. I should know - it turns out this is actually rather good. Appearances can be deceptive.

SAN DIMAS – With chaos swirling around him, Bonita coach Eric Podley looked like he needed to call on an old friend to help him sort through his team's dramatic 34-33 victory over rival San Dimas in the annual Smudge Pot game.
After nearly four quarters of drastic ups and downs, the Bearcats finally secured victory when the Saints' last-ditch drive ran out of time at the 15-yard line.
"This is why the good Lord invented alcohol," Podley said.
Anyone of drinking age could have used a beverage after watching the 34th edition of the intradistrict rivalry game.
Winless San Dimas (0-5) quiet ed the sideline and crowd of unbeaten Bonita (5-0) when it tied the game at 27 on the first play of the fourth quarter.
Just minutes later, the Saints took control when running back Ryan Richard scored to convert a Bonita muffed punt that gave San Dimas possession at the Bearcats' 15. But the extra point was missed.
The teams traded punts until San Dimas began a drive that would have ended the game. With no timeouts, Bonita was helpless to stop the clock as long as the Saints kept getting first downs.
With 1:40 remaining and facing a third-and-nine from their own 14, the Saints committed a gut-wrenching error that may end up as the school's version of Bill Buckner's ball between the legs.
Just like that, the quarterback- running back exchange was on the ground, and the nightmare was completed when Bonita fell on top of the ball. Four plays later, Cole Sanders' 6-yard catch from backup quarterback Jeff Chavez tied the game, and Pablo Garay's extra point was the game-winner.
San Dimas' final attempt at a comeback simply ran out of time, giving Bonita the coveted Smudge Pot trophy for the ninth time in 10 years.
The game was played in front of an overflow crowd, one that buzzed with electricity on all sides of the stadium. Fans stood wherever they could find room, and not a soul left until the very end.

After visit to Manchester, Patrick Vieira is off to Sevilla
He'll pow-wow with gaffer Jorge Sampaoli, and maybe even say hey to Samir Nasri.
By Sam Dunn@RealFakeSamDunn Nov 22, 2016, 9:00am EST
Share All sharing options for: After visit to Manchester, Patrick Vieira is off to Sevilla
Greg M. Cooper-USA TODAY Sports
For Patrick Vieira's first offseason as the head coach of a senior team, the name of the game is fact-finding.
After spending last week in Manchester meeting with City Football Group's global brass and consulting with Man City boss Pep Guardiola, NYCFC's fearless leader is headed for Andalusia to catch a glimpse of punchy Spanish side Sevilla FC, the three-time defending UEFA Europa League Champions.
"I leave after a week in Manchester a better coach – I will use these next two to three weeks to try to improve myself," Vieira told NYCFC.com. "I will take lots of things with me."
Sevilla isn't a bad choice for a second stop on Vieira's European tour— after leading Chile to a Copa America title on home soil in 2015, manager Jorge Sampaoli was one of three nominees for FIFA World Coach of the Year alongside Barcelona's Luis Enrique and, yes, Pep Guardiola, who was then at Bayern Munich.
These days, Sampaoli has Sevilla third in La Liga, just two points back of a certain FC Barcelona.
Interestingly enough, Sevilla is the current home of Samir Nasri, the 29 year old attacking man on loan this year from Manchester City. In October, a flurry of tabloids "reported" that Nasri didn't just desire a move from the Etihad Stadium, where he doesn't figure into Guardiola's plans— they insisted that the player fancies a move to NYCFC.
(Well, yeah, and I want a famous blue raincoat and a paid-for luxury suite at the Chelsea Hotel.)
Putting the head-spinning kinetics of the Silly Season aside for as long as we can, this dainty European jaunt will do nothing but benefit Patrick Vieira. The NYCFC majordomo acquitted himself beautifully in his first year in charge of a professional side — this is beyond doubt, particularly given the problematic history of European gaffers jumping to MLS — but the man himself will volunteer the fact that he went into the 2016 campaign with a couple of blind spots.
"For me, the problem was jumping from playing straight in to coach a first team. It's too difficult," Vieira told NYCFC.com. "[B]ut one of the reasons I chose New York is that I am still in the City Football Group."
"You have to choose the right club with the right people."
Mistakes are part of the game, Patrick.
From where we sit, we're pretty glad you decided to make them with us.

London's green building sector threatened by quantity over quality approach
The global rise in green buildings is providing proof that cites shouldn't be "trapped and weighed down by aging infrastructure", with a new whitepaper suggesting that London should mirror Paris's strategies in order to become the global leader on green buildings.

The "Top 10 Cities for Global Green Buildings" whitepaper from market strategists Solidiance has ranked London third, behind Paris and Singapore, for its integration of green buildings in the city, with a lack of city-wide performance goals hindering it from becoming the global leader in green buildings.
While London's position in the top three seems promising, the rapid growth of green buildings in Dubai, Shanghai and Beijing could eventually put the capital's position under threat if policy continues to strive for a figures approach that focuses on the number of buildings constructed, rather than the actual efficiency of these buildings.
"Green buildings are the pillars to building more sustainable cities around the world; and building more sustainable cities around the world is integral to achieving sustainable development and preserving our world's resourcing for present and future generations," the report states.
"Paris proves to us that old cities do not have to be trapped and weighed down by aging infrastructure; a strategic and methodical approach to retrofitting can dramatically improve efficiency."
Green buildings are doubling every three years worldwide and London has become a central hub for green building construction. Only Singapore has more than London's 1729 green buildings, but despite this figure, which represents 68% of London's building stock, the city is still struggling to improve efficiency.
With buildings accounting for around 40% of global energy use, and roughly responsible for 30% of city-wide emissions, the UK was the first country to introduce a green building certification system (BREEAM) as a way to benchmark the efficiency measures of modern buildings.
But, as the new whitepaper reveals, buildings in London are currently emitting 32m metric tonnes of CO2 annually, compared to the two million emitted by building in Paris. Energy consumption is also higher in London, with buildings using 101,228GWh compared to 15,050GWh in Paris.
The whitepaper attributes France's world-leading green infrastructure to the country's willingness to set quantifiable targets for energy efficiency and performance in buildings, whereas other cities, including London, are still focusing on activity-based goals such as the number of certifications issued.
With the green building material market set to reach more than $234bn by 2019, London has been urged to increase its uptake in both renewable sourcing – currently sitting at 7% according to figures from UNEP – and its waste recycling, which remains stagnant at 34%, as ways to rejuvenate the green building market and promote efficiency across the city.
Silicon city
While there is room for improvement in London to promote green building regulations, the foundations are in place to supplement the growth. For existing buildings, public bodies can engage with the private sector to reduce emissions through the Green Organisations Programme, which incentivises efficiency improvements for landlords.
The RE:FIT programme is also available for public buildings to consider retrofits as a way to achieve financial savings. Both BREEAM and the Code for Sustainable Homes pre-assessment provide the framework for new buildings to achieve efficiency improvements.
But even with a $50m backing from the London Energy Efficiency Fund (LEEF), London's progress is still being hampered by policy reforms that have seen a zero-carbon homes commitment controversially scrapped.
While the unveiling of a Government backed data platform looks set to stimulate green building construction in the UK, new percentage-based targets that focus on efficiency rather than numbers may still be needed if the UK is transform London into the "Silicon Valley" of green construction and innovation.

UK Demands Vegan Pizza
| 21 Jan 2019
A petition received by UK branches of Papa John's has resulted in the U.S. pizza franchisor adding vegan cheese to its menu.
The petition was mounted by animal rights organisation Animal Aid and vegan blogging and news website Vegan Food UK.
Since its launch in October 2018, the petition has collected almost 29,000 signatures.
Launched in October 2018, the petition amassed 28,993 signatures.
Pap John's said: "We were pleased to see the positive response to the recent vegan cheese alternative petition, as this is currently an area that we are developing, and hoping to roll out in the not-so-distant future."
Animal Aid Campaign Manager, Tod Bradbury, said: "We are thrilled to see that Papa John's has reacted positively to our petition, and that they are looking to introduce a vegan cheese alternative very soon.
"We thank them for taking our comments - and those of almost 30,000 others on board."
By adding vegan cheese to their menu, Papa John's will be showing that they are up to date with the fast-growing vegan movement. They will appeal to a much wider audience - be they vegans, those wanting to try vegan food or indeed those who have allergies to dairy products.
We hope that Papa John's decision not only has a positive effect on their sales, but also encourages other pizza chains and restaurants who haven't yet introduced a vegan cheese to do so."
Vegan Food UK Co-Founder, Liam Day, said: "This news is not only positive for those who avoid dairy but still want to eat at familiar places, but also for the future of veganism.
"With such a huge company adding more vegan options, others are sure to follow their example."


Jazz the black lab, the inspiration behind Pets Empower.
BOSTON—Soon after graduating from college, Jordan Ross found himself on the streets along with his black lab in order to escape domestic violence. Little did he know that this experience would inevitably change the lives of many—survivors of domestic violence and the animals they treasure.
According to the non-profit foundation's website, Pets Empower "provides volunteers and funding to existing short-term pet fostering organizations, enabling those organizations to help those in crisis situations," such as domestic violence, DV.
"I realized others are in need of services and up to 65 percent of DV survivors fail to leave because of their pets," Ross said.
Compounding the existing crisis, The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence found that 52 percent of victims in shelters leave their pets with their batterers.
As soon as the survivors are ready, they [survivors and pets] can reunite, Ross said.
Pets Empower's pilot programs have assisted in five cases to date, primarily in Boston and Providence, with expectations of those numbers increasing in the coming year. The organization was launched earlier in 2016.
Survivors or a domestic violence survivor advocate can reach out to Pets Empower directly to receive assistance.
"We have an intake button 'find pet fostering' on www.petsempower.org," Ross noted.
To ensure pets are well provided for, he said that not only are the pets picked up from the survivor, they are also screened by a veterinarian and then placed into temporary foster care.
Sue Webb, coordinator for SafePeopleSafePets shared her thoughts about the foundation via the organization's website.
"Seeing how our community deeply cares about DV survivors and their pets and meeting our clients where they are and allowing them to feel heard, understood, and appreciated [is most rewarding]," Ross explained.
Like many non-profits, Pets Empower relies on volunteers and community assistance to further their work.
Pets Empower allows survivors to find their voices and shows them that people do care about them and their pets, Ross said.
"[It also] demonstrates to survivors that some people are trustworthy and free fostering is an indication of hope and finding a life of choice, dignity, and freedom," he added.

The board layout with the optional FMPAC ROM is ready. On the schematics that we have the ROM is connected to CS1 and SLTSEL pins of a slot. So my question to Jipe and other hardware gurus is: can this board conflict with any cartridges inserted into MSX slots?
CS1 is not a problem, but SLTSEL wlll cause a conflict. If slot 0 is expanded then best is, if there is SLT01, SLT02 or SLT03 free. If not then look for free SLT3* signals. This anyway always depends of the machine the expansion will be installed, so you can leave the problem to enduser.
Timo, thanks. Can I use only CS1 and avoid using SLTSEL signal? One of the hardware gurus in the Russian forum told me that I can only use CS1.
No, I don't think so... AFAIK by using only CS1 you end up occupying all slots #4000-#7FFF area instead of only the one where you took the SLTSEL signal.
BTW when looking at DIP versions I noticed that today 27c256 chips are cheaper than 27c128 chips... Also 27c512 chips were even cheaper than 27c256 (What a messed up world this is) In the end you might want to use bigger chips even if the extra pins just stay idle.
Hmm... actually... If you want to get rid of extra wires, then how about if you replace /CS1 with A15?
It might not be orthodoxical, but should work well enough for all practical configurations.
Hmmm, I wonder should I connect the PGM pin of 27c128 to +5v as well? The flashing voltage is +12.5v but is 5v required for reading?
Clearly someone has checked the pin name from 27C256 manual. If you think you should connect Z80 A14 pin to +5v, then you are wrong. Do NOT do that. It will prevent Z80 from working. They really meant the /PGM pin that just happens to have the same pin number as A14 pin in 27C256.
/SLTSEL is combination of data from PPI and MSX-Engine and that is why you can't generate or replace it on board.
I try to explain this without talking too much about slots... On typical MSX2/MSX2+ setup there is 7 different /SLT* pins and one or two of them are typically not connected and free to be used as /SLTSEL. There is also 8th, single digit /SLT signal that has same first number than the two digit versions... That can't be used because it is used by MSX-engine internally to generate the two digit versions.
The setup inside your computer can be also for example combination of both... and all MSX computers don't have 2 cartridge slots... There are lots of possibilities how your MSX can be built internally, but these are just few typical examples. Also older models don't have MSX-engine, but the same signals have been generated using other methods.
I hope I didn't mess you head too much.
You did! It's a mess in my head. Did I understand correctly that CS* represents the position of the ROM inside the 64kb plane? CS0 selects 0000h-3FFFF and CS1 selects 4000-7FFF? And did I understand correctly that the SLT represents a 64kb memory plane that can be fully occupied or free/partially free?
If I understood everything correctly then CS1 will set the FMPAC ROM to 4000h address and SLTSEL will select the 64kb plane where it will be located. So I don't necessarily need to connect the SLTSEL to any of the 2 cartridge slots (to avoid conflicts with cartridges) and I can use the SLTSEL from a third slot that exists in Yamaha MSXs.
The MSX-ENGINE contains logic for one expanded slot, either slot 0 or slot 3, and outputs separate slot select signals for each of those that you can use. See the datasheet, other engines have similar pins. You need to pick one of those which is unused.
For the Yamaha CX5MII, as you can see in its service manual, all slots are already occupied. Most MSX computers won't be this crowded, but because some Yamahas like the CX5MII have two extra expansion slots it's all used up. So you'll have to either sacrifice something, or think of something smart. In the case of the CX5MII, you probably actually want to sacrifice the "80 columns subrom", or even better, replace it with a combined fmpac + msx2+ subrom rom.
You did! It's a mess in my head. Did I understand correctly that CS* represents the position of the ROM inside the 64kb plane? CS0 selects 0000h-3FFF and CS1 selects 4000-7FFF? And did I understand correctly that the SLT represents a 64kb memory plane that can be fully occupied or free/partially free?
Yes! You got that 100% correct. Now if you use Z80 A15 as /SLTSEL the ROM will be visible in both #0000-#3FFF and #4000-#7FFF, but that is ok since MSX searches & initializes software ROMs only from #4000 and #8000.

I made these cookies to send to the boys at college (Henry currently at UCSD but they all still eat them). They are a combination of healthy oats, dried cranberries, walnuts and less healthy chocolate chips (Jane).
1. Preheat oven to 350 F and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
2. Stir oats, flour, baking power, baking soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl.
2. In another bowl cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix until combined.
3. Mix in oat mixture until just combined. Then add cranberries, walnuts and chocolate chips.
4. Form mixture into balls and place on trays about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake until golden brown and just set - about 15 minutes.
6. Cool on trays and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
7. The cookies will keep at room temperature for about 5 days. They also freeze well.


Round up of the top 30 Passover Friendly Desserts that are healthy, gluten free, dairy free, vegan and paleo-approved!
Calling all of you lovelies celebrating Passover this year. I have a great list of recipes that you can make for your Passover parties coming up. We have Mango Banana Sorbet, Cinnamon Coffee Cake and everything in between. Every party or celebration must have desserts and these are desserts are not only delicious but will make your guests wanting more!
What are Passover Friendly Desserts?
If you're new to the Jewish holiday, Passover (Pesach) commemorates the story of the Israelites' departure from Egypt. Because they left in such a rush, their bread didn't have time to rise. So for 8 days, Jews avoid eating anything that has risen (chametz) during the holiday.
Chametz is anything made from the five major grains – wheat, rye, barley, oats and spelt. Some Ashkenazic Jews also avoid rice, corn, peanuts, legumes and others they deem as a possible cross-contamination with Chametz or just too easily confused with it (these foods are called Kitniyot).
Is Dairy OK in Passover Friendly Desserts?
It depends. Jews avoid eating dairy products with meat products in the same meal, and since most Passover seder meals are at dinner, I took the liberty to assume that for most families this would be a "meat" meal where dairy would be prohibited.
I've compiled some of my favourite Passover Friendly desserts that are dairy free, (often) gluten free, (sometimes) vegan and packed with flavour! You won't even miss the Chametz!
You don't have to be Jewish to love this sweet treat made with a coconut sugar toffee!

Czech food producer Hame seen next on the menu for Chinese giant
By bne IntelliNews November 10, 2015
bne IntelliNews -
Following a smorgasbord of acquisitions in late summer, China Energy Company Limited (CEFC) is eyeing yet another small Czech purchase, with food producer Hame in its sights, local media claimed on November 10.
Slovak investment group J&T Group, a local partner of CEFC, is assisting the Chinese company in negotiating the eventual purchase, unnamed sources told Lidove Noviny. The report will likely further boost suspicions that CEFC is more likely quietly financing J&T acquisition targets, rather than collecting assets for its own portfolio.
Nordic Partners Group put Hame up for sale six years after it bought it for CZK4.5bn (€166mn). One of the Czech Republic's leading food companies, the maker of pate and other processed foods closed the first half of 2015 with revenues of CZK2.89bn, up 14% y/y.
Another suitor for Hame is reportedly Hartenberg Capital, an investment fund controlled by billionaire Czech Finance Minister Andrej Babis, who owns agricultural, foods and chemicals conglomerate Agrofert. Earlier media reports also suggested Norwegian food conglomerate Orkla might be interested. The value of Hame remains close to CZK4.5bn, Lidove Noviny estimates.
Neither the size of Hame, nor the sector in which it works appears to have much connection to CEFC, which in October paid CZK1.94bn (€72mn) to increase its stake in J&T Group to 8.8% as part of a plan to further boost its holding up to 30% eventually. Then again, no one seems to know much about the mysterious, self-proclaimed international energy giant from Asia.
CEFC's acquisition of an increased stake in the closely-held Slovak financial group came amida buying spree that saw it acquire a Czech brewery, a football club and a high-profile historic building in the centre of Prague, as well as small stakes in a charter airline and media. The Chinese energy giant says it is seeking to make the Central European country a base for its European investments.
However, the acquisitions appear more to suit the profile of J&T, which runs retail chains and real estate deals in the region. On top of that, there is speculation that CEFC could be bankrolling the voracious appetite of EPH - an energy holding controlled by J&T-linked figures. Despite several large acquisitions in recent years, the company continues to hunt huge deals across the region, and increasingly in Western Europe.
Keys to the war chest
Several Czech officials have claimed CEFC's shopping spree is proof that the country has found a route to secure Chinese investment. The entire CEE region has been long been eyeing Beijing's massive investment war chest, but has largely failed to find the key to open it. President Milos Zeman has been particularly active, making more than one controversial trip to China in the last couple of years.
However, an opinion piece in Lidove Noviny suggests the Chinese company is on a promise from Prague. This does not mean Chinese investments in the Czech Republic are not interesting, writes columnist Jan Machacek, noting Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent trip to the UK to agree deals on infrastructure and energy, but they're interesting mainly in connection with CEFC's close relations to the Chinese military and intelligence.
He suggests the Chinese have been promised a larger, unknown prize to welcome them – perhaps an airport, refinery, or big state contract. Other analysts have suggested to bne IntelliNews that the Chinese company is especially interested in the accounts reportedly held by numerous Central European oligarchs at J&T Banka.
Either way, what appears clear is that few in the Czech Republic believe the Chinese company has come to the country to sell pate and beer and watch the football.

This project was completed while working at Home Agency, Leeds. It was an exercise in user experience and user interface design as Home wanted to explore what Jet2 could do with their website if they were to take a new approach.
The idea behind my concept was to engage users more visually, with the use of beautiful imagery and typography. The use of interactive maps highlights the vast choice of destinations available with the Jet2 network. I also highlighted destinations with their own dedicated sections, with local information alongside latest deals.
