Pick an off-season destination: Hotels at many destinations have two sets of prices: low season and high season. For example, the Caribbean Islands is popular in the winter, but much more affordable in the summer. Resorts tend to charge the highest prices when they know that most people want to go, it's smarter and less crowded to plan your trip when visitors will be at a minimum. Weekends can also be more expensive, so schedule your trip during the week if possible.
Consider staying at a timeshare property: There are two ways timeshare properties can translate into ultra-affordable getaways. First, timeshare owners rent out extra weeks at reasonable prices, often cheaper than a hotel for a week. Search Web sites for the best deals including www.timeshare.com and www.tradingplaces.com . Second, timeshare salespeople will often offer a free weekend in exchange for sitting through a 90 minute sales pitch.
Do your research: There are many ways to find great vacation deals. Scan the travel section of the Sunday newspaper to find a variety of travel bargains, browse Web sites such as www.Frommers.com or www.Expedia.com and always call several competing hotels to get the best rate possible. Craigslist.com and vrbo.com are great places to search for an assortment of vacation rental homes.
Maximize your frequent flyer miles: If you are not already a member of a frequent-flyer program, sign up for one now! Many credit cards will link you to a program that can save you hundreds of dollars on a vacation. You can collect miles through air travel, car rental agencies, hotels, long-distance phone companies, and a variety of retailers. The miles you collect not only earn you free airline tickets, but can translate into deals at hotels and car rental agencies as well.
Have a flexible travel date: The earlier you make your reservations, the more likely you are to get a great deal. Rental cars, lessons, equipment rentals--all these things can, and should, be reserved as far in advance for the lowest prices. However, if you are flexible with your travel dates and can leave at the last minute, you can often get a better deal if you book in advance.
Save on taxi fare: Comparison shop by quickly scanning a few waiting taxis for their posted per-mile rate. If you really want to pinch pennies, considering sharing the ride with someone else. Upon entering the cab, make sure the driver hasn't left any time on the meter, if he has, ask him to turn it to zero.
Use your AAA or AARP membership: If you're a member of AAA or AARP, you can save a bundle on your vacation. Both organizations have negotiated discounts at thousands of hotels, car rental agencies and cruise lines. They offer special packages throughout the year, so keep your eye out for the places you want to visit.
Keep car rental costs low: Most car-rental agencies charge daily rates in 24-hour increments, so extra hours can add up fast. If you rent a car at 4 pm, try to return it by 4 pm on the drop-off day. Unless you're traveling with a large group, reserve a smaller car than you would usually request. Many agencies usually have a surplus of mid-size and larger vehicles, which means you may be able to receive a free upgrade upon arrival. Also, don't automatically sign up for the insurance plan, as many personal auto insurance policies will cover you in a rental. If you're traveling to a major city and your schedule is somewhat flexible, you may want to take a shuttle van or public transportation to your hotel and rent your car once you've reached your destination. By doing so you can avoid any airport surcharges and may even secure a lower rental rate.
Save along the way: Plan to picnic for lunch and fix breakfast in your hotel room. If there's a mini-bar, empty the non-perishables to store milk and juice. Alternate expensive attractions with those that are free—visit a national park, relax at the beach, window shop or visit local points of interest. And last, but not least, establish your budget before you leave home and stick to it.


This is an exciting action game! There are many kinds of mission in the game, guns and monsters as well! What are you waiting for? In a world dominated by socialists. Where there is injustice. People ruled by a tyrant, lost all hopes of restoring justice. Follow mission, earn points and money that would later buy ammunition and weapons. Compare up in rank against other players and compete with them. Shoot, kill and blow up. There are many powerful weapons in the game. Use the various firearms! One of the best shooter.

At Charles H. Taylor: Artful variations on the black and white keys
By Mark St. John Erickson and merickson@dailypress.com | 757-247-4783
Imagine a world where all the color has been drained away and you'll still be only halfway toward grasping the unusual visual impact of the works on view in the Charles H. Taylor Arts Center's latest exhibit.
And that's because there's so much more to be seen and savored in this eye-opening show than simple black and white.
Just look at "Black and White Figure Eight Study No. 3," where Virginia Beach artist Mike W. Morgan's brush does a meandering rhythmic dance with all the gusto, depth and complexity of an action painter immersed in color.
Weaving and intertwining across the canvas, his mesmerizing trails of black and white pigment shadow each other's paths in an exuberant and almost vibrant way, demonstrating the power and potential of the gray scale to conjure up visions of almost unmeasurable tone and richness.
Gaze at his brushwork long enough and you'll also see solid blacks and whites shift into ever so subtle grays that waft and then disappear into space like some sort of elusive vapor.
"It's not something you see everyday," says center manager James Warwick Jones, describing the surprisingly unfettered collection of tightly focused artworks found in "Grisaille: Songs on the Black and White Keys."
"We tried to be very strict about the things we chose: No color — just black, white and gray. And what we ended up with are some really nice works that show you what can be done with the nuances of value and the gray scale."
Curated with Chesapeake artists Barbara Hennig-Loomis and Diane Hottenstein, this invitational exhibit of 85 Hampton Roads artists features more than 100 works exploring the theme of "grisaille," or shades of gray, through a wide array of media.
Drawing, prints and photography are the most likely suspects, of course, when it comes to thinking and working in black and white. But this collection also branches out to painting, watercolor, glass, ceramics and fiber.
Among the liveliest and most eye-grabbing examples is "Jonesing with Color," a meticulously stitched and marked-up fabric vessel concocted in a clever, tongue-in-cheek fashion by Virginia Beach textile artist Lynne Sward.
Divided into two undulating horizontal panels, the exterior bristles with floating letterlike forms, each one distinguished by its own repeated abstract surface pattern. Unfolding behind these lively Xs, As, Es and other pictographic forms are background fields of smaller but equally eye-catching, obsessively executed designs, including radiating dashes, swirling commas and various kinds of intersecting lines punctuated with bold periods.
Radiating dashes fill the interior, too, giving the vessel an overflowing kind of visual energy. But that's just one of many incessantly pulsating, moving elements that may make you completely forget the customary embrace of color.
Portsmouth artist Pat Pfeiffer's clayboard drawing of "Llamas" has a deceptively similar attraction, but here the thousands and thousands of repeated marks are limited to fine white lines scratched into a jet-black background.
Relying solely on changes in the density and direction of her scratches, Pfeiffer builds up five forms with such eye-fooling appeal that it's hard to believe you're looking at a kind of drawing. Every single hair in the llamas' fur seems to rise up and extend into the air — and the unseen muscles beneath those woolly pelts conspire to give the necks, heads and faces of these figures a range of unusually lifelike movements.
Newport News quiltmaker Sandy Curran transforms the show's restrictions into unexpected opportunity, too, using a stripped-down black-and-white palette with ominous effect in a large appliqued portrait titled "Evil Eyes."
Inspired by a news photograph of the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, her letterbox format squeezes that famous face into a long horizontal frame, cutting off the top of his head as well as his mouth and chin.
Dozens of small pieces of black, white and gray cloth combine with thousands of hand-pulled stitches to recreate one of the early 21st century's most menacing and arresting gazes.
"When we decided to do this show, I thought of Sandy's quilt right away," Jones says.
"I knew I had to have it."

Travis Chapman rates this game: 5/5
Legend of Mana, known in Japan as Seiken Densetsu: Legend of Mana ("Holy Sword Legend: Legend of Mana"), is the fourth game in the Mana series. The game was released for the PlayStation in North America on June 7, 2000. While Legend of Mana was the fourth installment released in the series, the next console-based Mana game, Dawn of Mana, is the official fourth game (in Japan, it is known as Seiken Densetsu 4).
While incorporating action role-playing elements from the three games which preceded it, Legend of Mana has its own distinct style of gameplay. Most notably, it gives the player the ability to shape the game's world of Fa'Diel according to his or her desires, a system which was incorporated through the use of "artifacts," which are gained as the player progresses through the game. The player uses the artifacts to create different towns, dungeons, etc., called "Lands", to venture to and explore. This creates a non-linear gameplay, since the game is driven by a series of what would be considered side-quests in other games. Legend of Mana features three different plots which can occur simultaneously, and which do not necessarily need to be completed for the player to finish the game.
Legend of Mana was a financial success in America. While the game garnered considerable praise for its graphics and presentation, many critics disliked the game's unclear main storyline.

Chip Caray has not remained unemployed long. Fox Sports South/SportSouth has announced that he has joined their team as the Atlanta Braves play-by-play man. It will be interesting to see how this goes, and hopefully he can bounce back in the new position. He will have an uphill climb, as Braves fans are not reacting well on the network's Facebook page.
Here is the press release from Fox Sports South/SportSouth.
FOX Sports South and SportSouth today announced that veteran broadcaster Chip Caray will be the networks' Atlanta Braves play-by-play announcer. Caray will join analyst Joe Simpson for 105 Atlanta Braves' games on FOX Sports South and SportSouth during the 2010 Major League Baseball season.
The third generation in his family to work behind the microphone in Major League Baseball, Caray was the television voice of the Chicago Cubs for seven seasons before covering the Braves for Turner Sports, Peachtree TV and the Braves Radio Network from 2005-2009. He was the play-by-play announcer for the Orlando Magic for nine seasons (1989-1998) and has worked as a studio host for Fox Sports' coverage of Major League Baseball.
"I am incredibly honored for the opportunity to call Atlanta Braves baseball on a regular basis for FOX Sports South and SportSouth," said Chip Caray. "I couldn't imagine a better situation. I look forward to being paired up with my great friend, Joe Simpson, for an exciting season of Braves baseball in 2010 and beyond."
"The Atlanta Braves are excited to have Chip remain within the Braves family," said Derek Schiller, executive vice president of sales and marketing for the Atlanta Braves. "He has done a great job as a Braves broadcaster over the last several years and we are certain his new role with FOX Sports South and SportSouth will be welcome news to our fans."
Joining Caray, analyst Joe Simpson returns for his 16th season calling Braves' games on FOX Sports South and SportSouth. The duo will call 105 games on the networks during the 2010 MLB season. Braves game telecasts on FOX Sports South and SportSouth are complemented with Braves LIVE, the only Braves 30-minute pre-game show and expanded post-game coverage for local game telecasts.
I enjoy Chip and Jim in the way they call the Braves games. However I do not understand the way Chip pronounces Anthony Varvaro's last name. It is spelled Varvaro. He pronounces it Vavaro. Am I missing something.

a.	A Message – Jesus announces that God's kingdom has come near.
b.	A Ministry – He heals the sick and drives out demons.
e.	Gathering a preview community to live out the life of the Kingdom.
3. The resurrection of Jesus and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost signal the beginning (or inauguration) of the Age to Come.
4.	So, what's the good news? The future has come into the present. The age to come has dawned. God's generous rule has broken powerfully into this present evil age and now everyone has access to its benefits through simple confidence in Jesus.
1.	In biblical thought, when we say "Kingdom of God" mean "confrontation".
a.	The kingdom of God always provokes a collision of two opposing powers.
b.	When the Kingdom of God breaks in, there is always a powerful confrontation with the kingdoms of this world.
c.	The kingdom of God confronts and overthrows the kingdom of darkness.
2. The first reference to the kingdom of God in Scripture comes at the end of Miriam's song in Exodus 15:8 "The LORD will reign for ever and ever."
a.	This statement comes after the Exodus, when Yahweh (God) delivered his people from slavery in Egypt.
3.	A collision of power occurs between Yahweh, the God of Israel and all the gods of Egypt.
a.	The battle occurred in the ten plagues.
b.	The first nine plagues demonstrate Yahweh's superiority over every Egyptian god.
c.	The last plague judges Pharaoh for refusing to acknowledge Yahweh's Lordship.
4.	The pattern for the battle is set in the first act. Aaron's rod becomes a snake. Pharaoh's magicians do the same thing. Aaron's snake eats the other snakes! Lesson # 1: The power behind Moses and Aaron is greater than the power behind Egypt.
1.	Jesus understood his mission as a divine invasion. He is invading Satan's domain and undoing Satan's handiwork. Casting out demons and healing the sick point to the defeat of Satan. Jesus is robbing the strong man's house. He is defeating Satan on his own turf.
a. The teachers of the law accuse Jesus of using the power of Beelzebub, the prince of demons, to cast out demons.
c.	In answering this charge, Jesus gives us a glimpse into his understanding of his mission: Satan is the strong man. Jesus is the stronger man.
d.	The stronger man binds up the strong man and then robs his house.
2.	Jesus sees the works of the kingdom as robbing the strong man's house: healing the sick, forgiving sin, driving out demons, raising the dead, eating the messianic feast with sinners, inviting people to live under God's generous rule all point to the defeat of Satan.
3.	Luke 10.17-18 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.' He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven'.
Jesus demonstrates the presence (or nearness) of the kingdom by overturning the works of the ruler of this age.
5.	When we act as agents of the kingdom of God a clash of kingdoms will always occur.
a.	Announcing and demonstrating the presence of the future and inviting people to bring their lives under God's generous rule will result in us getting caught up in a clash of kingdoms – the kingdom of God confronts the kingdom of darkness.
b.	We should not be surprised by this.
c.	In fact, if we are not experiencing opposition from the powers of darkness, we should pause to wonder what's going on.
6.	However, the story of Jesus destroying the devil's work poses a serious worldview problem for Western Christians.
a. A clash of kingdoms occurs in our minds as the kingdom of God confronts the powers of Western scientific rationalism.
b.	If we are to join Jesus in his mission, the kingdom of God must invade and inhabit our minds and defeat the powers of Western rationalism.
c.	We need a worldview transplant – a paradigm shift.
1.	Modernity is a materialist worldview – Only the material world is real. There is no place for God, angels, devils, heaven and hell.
2.Western people live with the assumption that the spiritual realm, if it exists at all, is somewhere out there, beyond the stars.
a.	As scientists have discovered more and more of the universe, heaven has become more and more remote.
b.	We assume that there is a gap between the real world and the spiritual world.
3.	Dr Paul Hiebert argues that Western Christians have a blind spot in our worldview.
a.	While we believe in heaven and hell, God and eternity, we unconsciously confine them in our thinking to an 'upper tier' of religion, far from the physical world and from our daily existence.
b.	We live in a 'lower tier' of science, the empirical world of our senses – those things that we see and experience in the natural, material order. This is the real world.
4.	The upper and lower tiers are both real, but do not interact.
a.	There is an 'excluded middle' in the way Western people think, an inability to see how science and religion interact.
b.	Therefore, angels, demons and the Holy Spirit's intervention in divine healing, signs and wonders, etc, are excluded from everyday life.
5.	Non-Western worldviews make room for all kinds of supernatural interventions in everyday life, so the idea that God can heal is easily accepted.
6.	Western Christians, on the other hand, make little room for what the Scriptures teach as normal – the regular activity of both God and Satan in human life.
1.	We think the spiritual realm is disconnected from the real world in which we live. This is not how it really is. The spiritual realm coexists with the physical realm.
a.	God is not in some far-away heaven. He is all around us (as are angels and demons, Acts 17.28; Ps 34.9; Heb 1.14).
b.	The real world is a part of a larger spiritual realm, (The spiritual realm is like another dimension). God has continual access to what we think is the 'real' world.
2.	If you have a Western education, you have been indoctrinated into Western scientific rationalism.
a.	It is a stronghold in your mind that continually throws up roadblocks to operating effectively in the spiritual realm.
b.	Even now, your mind is analyzing the things I am saying, coming up with all the reasons why I'm wrong. What is that?
c.	Rational skepticism, the main tool of scientific investigation, makes it very difficult to receive the things of the Kingdom.
d.	You cannot apprehend the things of the kingdom using the tools of rational skepticism.
a.	Surrender your autonomy and bring your life under the generous rule of God. Put down the tools for rational skepticism, and pick up the tools of faith.
Jesus proclaimed "Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand".
a.	His listeners understood what he meant. We don't. We have a different worldview.
b.	God lives in the heavens. We think of heaven as some distant, faraway place.
c.	This is not how Jewish people thought.
2.	Jewish cosmology had three heavens.
a.	The first heaven is the air around us – the sky, where the birds fly.
b.	The second heaven is what we call space, where the sun, moon and stars do their thing (also inhabited by angels and demons).
c.	The third heaven (which Paul visited for a little while, 2 Cor. 12) is God's throne-room.
3.	When God acts, he does so in the world. He acts out of the air around us. This is the first heaven. God is not on some distant throne playing dice. He is right here with us.
1.	Where does sickness come from?
a.	An Indian or African person, who doesn't have a Western education, believes that sickness and disease are connected to spirits, curses and magic.
b.	We know better. Disease is caused by genetic disorders, chemical imbalances and pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and prions.
c.	We see no connection between sickness and spiritual things.
3.	Many Christians are confused about this. A distorted view of the sovereignty of God makes them believe that sickness comes from God.
a.	God never sends sickness.
b.	Sickness is a consequence of the fall and belongs to this present evil age.
4.	Healing comes from God.
a.	The healing of our body and our spirit belongs to the Age to Come.
b.	How do we know that God wants to heal the sick?
c.	Answer: Jesus - he healed everyone who came to him for healing.
d. Jesus authorized us to bring healing as a sign that God's generous rule has now broken into this present evil age.
e.	Heal the sick who are there and say, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you'.


Are you struggling to generate high-quality industrial sales leads? Whether you sell a product, a service or both, you need high-quality industrial leads to succeed. Without them, you'll have a hard time generating sales. But if you're unable to generate high-quality leads, the reason could be attributed to one of the following factors.
There's nothing wrong with using traditional outbound marketing techniques to generate industrial leads, but that doesn't necessarily mean you should overlook inbound techniques. Inbound marketing is particularly effective at generating high-quality B2B leads. It's a less invasive, more indirect method of marketing to which business owners and professional respond strongly. So, make it a core component of your company's overall marketing strategy.
Generating high-quality industrial leads is all about targeting the right prospects. If you're targeting users who have little-to-no interest in your product or service, it's not going to yield high-quality leads. Therefore, you should create "buyer personas" of your target audience, focusing your marketing efforts around these ideal industrial audiences.
Don't forget to use customer relationship management (CRM) software to streamline your industrial lead generation process. With CRM software, you'll be able to easily curate and categorize leads according to quality. After doing so, you can reach out to the high-quality industrial leads first, giving them priority over their lower quality counterparts.
There's no rule stating that you must source all of your industrial sales leads by hand. SalesLeads Inc specializes in uncovering identified projects specifically in the industrial marketplace. These identified projects also come with contact names, titles, direct phone numbers and email addresses. Be sure you identify these as high quality industrial leads in your CRM system. Try it out for yourself.
The golden rule of selling a product or service is to show the benefits, not the features. Industrial prospects want to know how your product or service can benefit them. They don't particularly care about the features it has to achieve these benefits.
Finally, be sure to incorporate social media into your industrial lead generation strategy. Statistics show that more than 80% of U.S. adults have a Facebook account -- and that's only one social network. LinkedIn is another great social media that's highly effective at generating industrial sales leads.

The conference included a new award given out in memory of the late leader of Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council, Mandy Perkins. Mandy had been a passionate advocate of the forum and had been its Vice Chair for a number of years. The Mandy Perkins Memorial Award has been introduced to recognise an organisation, group or person who has gone the extra mile to make the borough a safer or more supportive place for those affected by domestic abuse.
Mandy's husband David presented the award at the start of the conference to Chief Inspector Sally Phillips and DI Andrea Dalton, for their work in leading the investigation into the domestic abuse suffered by Welwyn Garden City mum Kelly Sutton, who subsequently took her own life. DI (Now CI) Sally Phillips and DS (Now DI) Andrea Dalton led the investigation by Herts Constabulary's Domestic Abuse Investigation and Safeguarding Unit (DAISU), which resulted in the conviction of Kellie's former boyfriend Stephen Gane for Coercive Control, ABH and Assault, and a jail term. It's the first time in the UK that someone had been convicted of Coercive Control following the death of a victim.
The runner up of the award was Leonie Maddin, who, as a volunteer for Herts Young Homeless, has been instrumental in developing different core workshops for schools, including 'consent - sexting', to bring awareness to young people about the importance of healthy relationships.
The theme of the day was 'Young People - We're Victims too'. The conference heard the testimony of 19 year old Leah, who was the victim of domestic abuse by her boyfriend when she was 18. Many of speakers throughout the event examined the impact of domestic abuse on young people, with topics such as: 'Housing - the Impact for Young People' and 'Life in Refuge for Young People'.
The recent conviction for coercive behaviour should give confidence to victims up and down the country that they can report such crimes and something will be done. I think Mandy would have been proud of the recipients of her memorial award.
Coming together in this way at the conference enables many local charities, volunteer groups and agencies to share ideas and best practice. Today, with our focus on young people, talking about and understanding what a healthy relationship is is key, as we've heard with Leah's story. We also need to get the message out that there are many ways of getting both emotional and practical support such as housing.
The confidential Hertfordshire Domestic Abuse Line offers callers affected by domestic violence and abuse a supportive response, detailed referral information and access to a range of support agencies. The helpline number is 08 088 088 088, open 9am - 9pm Monday to Friday, and 9am - 4pm at weekends.
Face-to-face advice is available from the Sunflower drop-in at Gracemead House in Hatfield, every Tuesday from 9.15am to 11am.

The Funeral Mass was celebrated at St. Andrew's Church, Bandra on 3rd October, by Bishop Bosco Penha. The concelebrants included 7 Bishops from the Western Region and nearly a hundred priests from the Archdiocese of Bombay and the neighbouring Diocese of Vasai. Fr. Gilbert and Fr. Clement DeLima – Bishop Ferdie's nephews – were among the concelebrants.
An avid reader, a brilliant student and a harbinger of peace, Bishop Ferdie was all of these. Everyone who remembers Bishop Ferdie, remembers his resilient spiritual life and deep love for God; his work in Pastoral Ministry cannot be forgotten. Even after retirement, he continued to serve God, by serving His people.
The words that were spoken by Bishop Ferdie's companions from the priesthood and his family, reminisced about the quality of the man he was. 'Resourceful', "humble', 'outgoing' and 'excellent' were some of the adjectives used to honour his memory.
Bishop Dominic Savio read out Cardinal Oswald Gracias' message of condolence, as His Eminence is attending the Synod of the Family in Rome and was unable to attend the Funeral. We certainly agree with his Eminence that Bishop Ferdie will now be our powerful intercessor in Heaven.
Bishop Bosco Penha, in his homily, recalled his personal memories of Bishop Ferdie, as an enthusiastic person, whose work made a difference in others' lives. His Lordship concluded by observing that Bishop Ferdie's 'race' was an extremely successful one and his goal of being with his Creator was achieved.
May eternal light shine upon Bishop Ferdie. May he rest in peace.

Who Was Ibn Battuta?
By Shani Asokan | Published: 2:00 AM Jan 8 2022

Ceylon Today Features
History records several great explorers and travellers. Those who were brave enough to sail out into the unknown, discovered new lands, otherwise unknown cultures and civilisations. One such traveller was a man named Ibn Battuta, who spent 29 years travelling around the world during the Middle Ages. His voyages and expeditions covered approximately 75,000 miles of ground – around 44 modern day countries! During this time, he travelled through several empires, and embarked on many an adventure. Let's take a closer look at this great explorer, shall we?
Ibn Battuta was born in Tangier, Morocco on 25 February 1304. At this time, Morocco was part of the Islamic Empire, so Battuta grew up in a Muslim household. He also likely spent his early years studying at an Islamic school, learning reading and writing, as well as science, mathematics, and Islamic law.
When Battuta turned 21 years old, he decided to embark on a pilgrimage to the Islamic holy city of Mecca. The trip to Mecca was thousands of miles long, and he knew that this journey would not be an easy one. Yet, he was determined to see it through. So, he bade goodbye to his family and set out on his own.
Battuta travelled across North Africa, joining caravans for company and safety. Along the way, he visited several cities, including Tunis, Alexandria, Cairo, Damascus and Jerusalem. He reached Mecca one and a half years after leaving home and finally completed his pilgrimage.
Later travels
During his trip to Mecca, one could say that young Battuta was bitten by the travel bug. He learned that he loved seeing new places and experiencing different cultures and interacting with new people. So, he decided to continue travelling.
Over the next 28 years of his life, Battuta travelled the world. First, he visited Iraq and Persia, visiting cities such as Baghdad, Tabriz and Mosul. He also explored parts of the Silk Road, an ancient trade route that extended from China to Eastern Europe, ending somewhere near modern ay Turkey and the Mediterranean Sea. Following this, he travelled to the east coast of Africa, spending time in Somalia and Tanzania. After exploring much of the African coast, Battuta returned to Mecca for Hajj.
For the next leg of his travels, Battuta travelled north, visiting Anatolia (Turkey) and the Crimean peninsula. He stopped for a while at the city of Constantinople before heading east to India. Upon arriving in India, he went to work for the Sultan of Delhi as a judge. Battuta stayed in India for a few years before leaving for China. Sometime in 1345 he arrived in Quanzhou, China. While in China, Battuta visited cities like Beijing, Hangzhou, and Guangzhou. He even paid a visit to the Great Wall of China and met with the Mongol Khan who ruled China at the time. Battuta also travelled on the Grand Canal, the longest man-made waterway in the world that runs north and south in eastern China.
Sometime later, Battuta returned to Morocco, but learned upon his arrival in the city that both his parents had died while he was away. Not wanting to stay there any longer, he continued his travels. He visited Spain, and then the famous central African city of Timbuktu.
Battuta finally returned to Morocco in 1354. Here, he told the stories of his adventures to a scholar, who recorded it all in a book called the Rihla. The great explorer then remained in Morocco and worked as a judge until his demise in 1369.

Q: Redefine class method for entire project I have a class in my Django project that I want to redefine, without touching the delivered code. The class is this (example):
class DjangoAdminClass:

    def method_a(self, parm1, parm2):
       pass

So I want to redefine the method_a for the entire project. How could I do that?
I thought to create a new class:
class DjangoAdminClass(DjangoAdminClass):
        def method_a(self, parm1, parm2):
           do_a_cool_stuff

But it didnt work.... my method is not called by the code that is using DjangoAdminClass

## Design goals

There are myriads of [JSON](http://json.org) libraries out there, and each may even have its reason to exist. Our class had these design goals:

- **Intuitive syntax**. In languages such as Python, JSON feels like a first class data type. We used all the operator magic of modern C++ to achieve the same feeling in your code. Check out the [examples below](#examples) and you know, what I mean.

- **Trivial integration**. Our whole code consists of a single header file `json.hpp`. That's it. No library, no subproject, no dependencies, no complex build system. The class is written in vanilla C++11. All in all, everything should require no adjustment of your compiler flags or project settings.

- **Serious testing**. Our class is heavily [unit-tested](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/blob/master/test/json_unit.cc) and covers [100%](https://coveralls.io/r/nlohmann/json) of the code, including all exceptional behavior. Furthermore, we checked with [Valgrind](http://valgrind.org) that there are no memory leaks.

Other aspects were not so important to us:

- **Memory efficiency**. Each JSON object has an overhead of one pointer (the maximal size of a union) and one enumeration element (1 byte). The default generalization uses the following C++ data types: `std::string` for strings, `int64_t` or `double` for numbers, `std::map` for objects, `std::vector` for arrays, and `bool` for Booleans. However, you can template the generalized class `basic_json` to your needs.

- **Speed**. We currently implement the parser as naive [recursive descent parser](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_descent_parser) with hand coded string handling. It is fast enough, but a [LALR-parser](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LALR_parser) with a decent regular expression processor should be even faster (but would consist of more files which makes the integration harder).

## Integration

The single required source, file `json.hpp` is in the `src` directory or [released here](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/releases). All you need to do is add

```cpp
#include "json.hpp"

// for convenience
using json = nlohmann::json;
```

to the files you want to use JSON objects. That's it. Do not forget to set the necessary switches to enable C++11 (e.g., `-std=c++11` for GCC and Clang).

## Supported compilers

Though it's 2015 already, the support for C++11 is still a bit sparse. Currently, the following compilers are known to work:

- GCC 4.8 - 5.2
- Clang 3.4 - 3.7
- Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 RC

I would be happy to learn about other compilers/versions.

## Examples

Here are some examples to give you an idea how to use the class.

Assume you want to create the JSON object

```json
{
  "pi": 3.141,
  "happy": true,
  "name": "Niels",
  "nothing": null,
  "answer": {
    "everything": 42
  },
  "list": [1, 0, 2],
  "object": {
    "currency": "USD",
    "value": 42.99
  }
}
```

With the JSON class, you could write:

```cpp
// create an empty structure (null)
json j;

// add a number that is stored as double (note the implicit conversion of j to an object)
j["pi"] = 3.141;

// add a Boolean that is stored as bool
j["happy"] = true;

// add a string that is stored as std::string
j["name"] = "Niels";

// add another null object by passing nullptr
j["nothing"] = nullptr;

// add an object inside the object
j["answer"]["everything"] = 42;

// add an array that is stored as std::vector (using an initializer list)
j["list"] = { 1, 0, 2 };

// add another object (using an initializer list of pairs)
j["object"] = { {"currency", "USD"}, {"value", 42.99} };

// instead, you could also write (which looks very similar to the JSON above)
json j2 = {
  {"pi", 3.141},
  {"happy", true},
  {"name", "Niels"},
  {"nothing", nullptr},
  {"answer", {
    {"everything", 42}
  }},
  {"list", {1, 0, 2}},
  {"object", {
    {"currency", "USD"},
    {"value", 42.99}
  }}
};
```

Note that in all these cases, you never need to "tell" the compiler which JSON value you want to use. If you want to be explicit or express some edge cases, the functions `json::array` and `json::object` will help:

```cpp
// a way to express the empty array []
json empty_array_explicit = json::array();

// ways to express the empty object {}
json empty_object_implicit = json({});
json empty_object_explicit = json::object();

// a way to express an _array_ of key/value pairs [["currency", "USD"], ["value", 42.99]]
json array_not_object = { json::array({"currency", "USD"}), json::array({"value", 42.99}) };
```

### Serialization / Deserialization

You can create an object (deserialization) by appending `_json` to a string literal:

```cpp
// create object from string literal
json j = "{ \"happy\": true, \"pi\": 3.141 }"_json;

// or even nicer (thanks http://isocpp.org/blog/2015/01/json-for-modern-cpp)
auto j2 = R"(
  {
    "happy": true,
    "pi": 3.141
  }
)"_json;

// or explicitly
auto j3 = json::parse("{ \"happy\": true, \"pi\": 3.141 }");
```

You can also get a string representation (serialize):

```cpp
// explicit conversion to string
std::string s = j.dump();    // {\"happy\":true,\"pi\":3.141}

// serialization with pretty printing
// pass in the amount of spaces to indent
std::cout << j.dump(4) << std::endl;
// {
//     "happy": true,
//     "pi": 3.141
// }
```

You can also use streams to serialize and deserialize:

```cpp
// deserialize from standard input
json j;
std::cin >> j;

// serialize to standard output
std::cout << j;

// the setw manipulator was overloaded to set the indentation for pretty printing
std::cout << std::setw(4) << j << std::endl;
```

These operators work for any subclasses of `std::istream` or `std::ostream`.

### STL-like access

We designed the JSON class to behave just like an STL container. In fact, it satisfies the [**ReversibleContainer**](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/concept/ReversibleContainer) requirement.

```cpp
// create an array using push_back
json j;
j.push_back("foo");
j.push_back(1);
j.push_back(true);

// iterate the array
for (json::iterator it = j.begin(); it != j.end(); ++it) {
  std::cout << *it << '\n';
}

// range-based for
for (auto element : j) {
  std::cout << element << '\n';
}

// getter/setter
const std::string tmp = j[0];
j[1] = 42;
bool foo = j.at(2);

// other stuff
j.size();     // 3 entries
j.empty();    // false
j.type();     // json::value_t::array
j.clear();    // the array is empty again

// convenience type checkers
j.is_null();
j.is_boolean();
j.is_number();
j.is_object();
j.is_array();
j.is_string();

// comparison
j == "[\"foo\", 1, true]"_json;  // true

// create an object
json o;
o["foo"] = 23;
o["bar"] = false;
o["baz"] = 3.141;

// special iterator member functions for objects
for (json::iterator it = o.begin(); it != o.end(); ++it) {
  std::cout << it.key() << " : " << it.value() << "\n";
}

// find an entry
if (o.find("foo") != o.end()) {
  // there is an entry with key "foo"
}

// or simpler using count()
int foo_present = o.count("foo"); // 1
int fob_present = o.count("fob"); // 0

// delete an entry
o.erase("foo");
```

### Conversion from STL containers

Any sequence container (`std::array`, `std::vector`, `std::deque`, `std::forward_list`, `std::list`) whose values can be used to construct JSON types (e.g., integers, floating point numbers, Booleans, string types, or again STL containers described in this section) can be used to create a JSON array. The same holds for similar associative containers (`std::set`, `std::multiset`, `std::unordered_set`, `std::unordered_multiset`), but in these cases the order of the elements of the array depends how the elements are ordered in the respective STL container.

```cpp
std::vector<int> c_vector {1, 2, 3, 4};
json j_vec(c_vector);
// [1, 2, 3, 4]

std::deque<double> c_deque {1.2, 2.3, 3.4, 5.6};
json j_deque(c_deque);
// [1.2, 2.3, 3.4, 5.6]

std::list<bool> c_list {true, true, false, true};
json j_list(c_list);
// [true, true, false, true]

std::forward_list<int64_t> c_flist {12345678909876, 23456789098765, 34567890987654, 45678909876543};
json j_flist(c_flist);
// [12345678909876, 23456789098765, 34567890987654, 45678909876543]

std::array<unsigned long, 4> c_array {{1, 2, 3, 4}};
json j_array(c_array);
// [1, 2, 3, 4]

std::set<std::string> c_set {"one", "two", "three", "four", "one"};
json j_set(c_set); // only one entry for "one" is used
// ["four", "one", "three", "two"]

std::unordered_set<std::string> c_uset {"one", "two", "three", "four", "one"};
json j_uset(c_uset); // only one entry for "one" is used
// maybe ["two", "three", "four", "one"]

std::multiset<std::string> c_mset {"one", "two", "one", "four"};
json j_mset(c_mset); // only one entry for "one" is used
// maybe ["one", "two", "four"]

std::unordered_multiset<std::string> c_umset {"one", "two", "one", "four"};
json j_umset(c_umset); // both entries for "one" are used
// maybe ["one", "two", "one", "four"]
```

Likewise, any associative key-value containers (`std::map`, `std::multimap`, `std::unordered_map`, `std::unordered_multimap`) whose keys are can construct an `std::string` and whose values can be used to construct JSON types (see examples above) can be used to to create a JSON object. Note that in case of multimaps only one key is used in the JSON object and the value depends on the internal order of the STL container.

```cpp
std::map<std::string, int> c_map { {"one", 1}, {"two", 2}, {"three", 3} };
json j_map(c_map);
// {"one": 1, "two": 2, "three": 3}

std::unordered_map<const char*, double> c_umap { {"one", 1.2}, {"two", 2.3}, {"three", 3.4} };
json j_umap(c_umap);
// {"one": 1.2, "two": 2.3, "three": 3.4}

std::multimap<std::string, bool> c_mmap { {"one", true}, {"two", true}, {"three", false}, {"three", true} };
json j_mmap(c_mmap); // only one entry for key "three" is used
// maybe {"one": true, "two": true, "three": true}

std::unordered_multimap<std::string, bool> c_ummap { {"one", true}, {"two", true}, {"three", false}, {"three", true} };
json j_ummap(c_ummap); // only one entry for key "three" is used
// maybe {"one": true, "two": true, "three": true}
```

### Implicit conversions

The type of the JSON object is determined automatically by the expression to store. Likewise, the stored value is implicitly converted.

```cpp
/// strings
std::string s1 = "Hello, world!";
json js = s1;
std::string s2 = js;

// Booleans
bool b1 = true;
json jb = b1;
bool b2 = jb;

// numbers
int i = 42;
json jn = i;
double f = jn;

// etc.
```

You can also explicitly ask for the value:

```cpp
std::string vs = js.get<std::string>();
bool vb = jb.get<bool>();
int vi = jn.get<int>();

// etc.
```

News | 03/20/2019 Political Parties / Election Analyses - Europe - Eastern Europe - Southeastern Europe - Europa links Building the Slovenian Left
Successes and challenges in Eastern Europe's most promising New Left project
Luka Mesec, 2018 CC BY-SA 3.0, sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luka_Mesec (Bild li:Hladnikm | Bild re: MZaplotnik)
Luka Mesec is the coordinator for the party Levica ("The Left") in Slovenia. The party was only founded in summer 2017 and emerged from an electoral alliance between three left-wing parties that has been represented in the Slovenian parliament since 2014. In the last parliamentary elections in summer 2018, Levica won over nine percent of votes and has tolerated the liberal governing coalition since last fall. This makes it one of the few new left parties in Central and Eastern Europe that has met with electoral success. In conversation with the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung's Wenke Christoph, Luka discusses the political models that helped them succeed, and what challenges and chances come along with tolerating the government and building local structures.
In the Slovenian general election on 3 June 2018 Levica was able to gain additional votes and seats in parliament. Apart from that eight other parties joined the parliament, the strongest being the right-wing party of Janez Janša. What is your assessment of the election results? Did Slovenia see a shift to the right like in many other European countries? What are the reasons for Janša's comeback?
We improved our result from six percent in 2014 to nine percent in 2018. We now have nine MPs (out of 90) in parliament. For the first time we were also relative victors in some electoral districts in Ljubljana and Koper.
However, another relative victor was Janez Janša's Slovenian Democratic Party (SDS), a Slovenian equivalent of Viktor Orban's Fidesz party. A decade ago it was centre-right, but nowadays it's sliding more and more to the radical right. Their main selling points are the migrant scare, nationalism, and anti-Communism. They won 25 percent. However, this was not enough to see a shift to the right in Slovenia. After the elections SDS found itself isolated. Only two other parliamentary parties were ready to collaborate with them: the nationalist Slovene National Party (SNS) and the neoliberal Nova Slovenija (NSI).
The final outcome of the 2018 elections was somewhat paradoxical: the relative victor was the radical right, but the coalition formation shifted to the left.
The parties of the centre and the Left have stated that they will not form a coalition with Janša. Four of them formed a minority government and negotiated a cooperation treaty with Levica and the government. How did Levica discuss and decide on this cooperation?
The liberal centre is extremely fragmented. The party leading the coalition—the party of Marjan Šarec (LMŠ)—won only 13 percent in the elections. Therefore, even a coalition of 5 liberal parties was not enough to form a majority government and they had to seek support elsewhere. Collaboration with SDS or SNS would be suicidal for them (because of their aggressive right-wing rhetoric), so they decided to talk to discuss possible collaboration with NSI and with Levica. At first, they decided to try to form a coalition with NSI. They negotiated for more than a month, but finally NSI decided not to sign the coalition agreement.
Therefore, it was up to Levica to decide: either support the liberal coalition or risk that SDS takes over. We entered the negotiations under harsh conditions. The time to elect a prime minister was running out; we had less than a week to forge a new coalition agreement. We tried to do that, but the final consensus was not enough for us to enter the coalition. We did not agree on foreign policy, defence spending, some internal affairs, etc. However, we managed to pass several progressive ideas such as raising the minimum wage, terminating austerity measures, improvement to pensions, measures against precarity, new public housing policy, more progressive taxation, etc.
We offered Šarec our support, albeit not as coalition partners but as partners of a minority government. His coalition was a bit reluctant to the idea, but at the end they agreed.
To my knowledge, the cooperation treaty that outlines different collaboration projects between Levica and the coalition has not been signed due to disagreement with the Prime Minister's staffing decisions. On what basis, under which conditions does Levica cooperate with the government?
Yes, the collaboration was troubled already on the first day of Mr. Šarec government. The problem was his nomination of Mr. Damir Črnčec (a former associate of Janez Janša with a history of racist commentaries on Twitter) as one of his close advisors in the Prime Minister office. In response we canceled signing of the agreement and demanded to remove him. That did not happen, so the agreement has not yet been signed.
However, we continued to collaborate semi-formally and achieved three important reforms in the past six months. First, a new law on minimum wage was passed in the parliament. The minimum wage will raise to 700 euros. Secondly, all austerity measures on social transfers were terminated. And thirdly, the government closed negotiations with public sector, significantly rising wages.
What dangers but also chances do you see strategically for Levica's cooperation with the government? Having in mind that for radical left parties this has often been a divisive issue, how would you describe Levica's strategic approach?
The danger is that collaboration with government will drown us in bureaucracy and endless negotiations. Also, the problem is differentiation of Levica from the government, especially from the social democrats. We are in a kind of non-aggression pact with them, so our possibilities for public critique are limited.
On the other side, opportunities lie especially in potentiality of enforcement of our policies. We are now working on a new agreement for 2019 with the government which would include measures against precarity, a new public housing policy, higher taxes on capital incomes etc. There is a lot of potential to expand our vote base with those policies.
The cooperation agreement includes a partnership project implemented by Levica on raising the minimum wage, that has already passed parliament in December 2019, raising the minimum wage to 700 Euros by 2020. What else are you planning – especially in terms of possibly transformative projects of the left?
I mentioned some things in previous answer, but we have already to think about projects in 2020. I would focus than on worker ownership, environmental issues and animal welfare.
Let's turn from the national level to two other levels of politics: first, the municipal level and the municipal elections that took place late last year. Looking at the overall results, Levica did not perform very well on the municipal level—maybe with the exception of 8.5 percent in Ljubljana. Does this show that Levica is struggling to grow local structures and support beyond Ljubljana's urban centre?
The main problem is that we basically spent the first four years consolidating our party. We entered parliament in 2014 as a coalition of three parties. This breakthrough was followed by three years of splits and conflicts in the coalition. Only one year before the 2018 elections were we finally able to merge into a unified party, Levica.
As a consequence we have broad national recognition (because of the work done by the parliamentary group in the previous mandate) but a weak local base (because of the time lost unifying the party). We are well aware of that and our main goal is to build up the membership and organize better on the local level.
We also elected mayors in the towns of Nova Gorica and Hrastnik as candidates of local progressive platforms. Klemen Miklavič, the mayor of Nova Gorica, is a member, while Marko Funkl is not a member but he is left-wing and ideologically close to us. In both towns we see a lot of potential to experiment with transformative ideas such as participative budgeting, housing cooperatives, etc.
Let's also take a look at the European Parliament elections later this year: the European Left decided that Violeta Tomić is going to be one of the two leading candidates for the elections. What are the key issues that the Left needs to tackle in the elections in the current political climate?
The program we are preparing for the EU elections focuses on three key issues. The first is democracy: we must invent more democratic and more inclusive decision-making processes in the EU. For now, the citizens of the EU are asked their opinion on unimportant issues such as the question of daylight savings time, but no one asked the citizens if they want austerity, if they reject a common solution to the economic crisis, etc. Citizens must have a say.
The second issue is to invert the EU's priorities. Currently we have a Union built on the single market and fiscal compacts. In effect, such a Union demands that member states obey its fiscal rules at all costs and is at the same time completely indifferent if that causes a 30 percent rise in youth unemployment, if it starves old people because of pension cuts, or if national healthcare systems fall apart. A Union that mistreats its citizens in such a way is unsustainable! The EU should be just the opposite: it should enforce common welfare standards and social minimums rather than bloody fiscal rules.
And our third priority is European Green Deal. We propose an investment plan that would focus on pan-European green transformation. EU should finance building up of a European high-speed railway grid and of sustainable transport in general. It should invest heavily in green and carbon-free technologies. And it should subsidize the spread of such technologies. It should become a global leader in struggle against climate change.
All in all, we want a Europe that would stop stifling us with fiscal rules and instead focus on improving the quality of life and keeping our planet for the future generations.

Sundials were adopted in Rome during the early third century BC.
In the second century BC, Rome adopted water clocks – a container holding water with several holes at the bottom to allow the water to escape at a regulated rate.
The day was divided into ante meridiem (before midday) and post meridiem (after midday). We still use the abbreviations of am and pm today.
An hour was a variable thing.
Noon was the sixth hour.
Before the reforms of Julius Caesar there is some debate as to whether the Romans followed a lunar, rather than a solar, calendar. Their year began in March and originally consisted of ten months.Two additional months, Januarius and Februarius were added in about 700 BC. After Februarius there was occasionally an additional month of Intercalaris.
This 15 month year was a one time correction.
January – Janus's month. Janus is the god of gates and doorways, of beginnings and endings, depicted with faces looking in both directions.
March – Mars, the Roman god of war. Originally the first month of the year.
May – Maia's month. Italic goddess of spring.
June – the month of Juno, queen of the Roman gods.
July – Originally the fifth month, Quintilis, when Caesar reformed the calendar he named this month after himself.
August – Originally the sixth month, Sextilis, when Augustus Caesar continued with the calendar reforms he named this month after himself.

Home/Fauna and Flora
The array of fauna and flora in the Pilanesberg is caused by the mixture of two landscapes, the Kalahari and the Lowveld. The Kalahari is a large and sandy savannah, measuring 900,000km². In the previous years, wild animals such as the elephant and giraffe could be seen. It has since become a primarily grazing area, but leopard and cheetah are still being seen around the area. The dry river beds supply pools of water during the rainy season. Lowveld is a term which refers to wide open spaces within South Africa. Lowveld areas generally have higher temperatures, and are less propagated.
The Big Five are one of Pilanesberg's major draw cards. The quintet of big game is a must-see for serious safari goers and Pilanesberg National Park offers great opportunities to tick lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros off your list. The term "Big Five" originated in the times of big game hunting, when these species were considered the most dangerous and prestigious to hunt. Today tourists are still eager to track the animals down, but only shoot them with cameras.
Bird Life
Bird watching in Pilanesberg is tremendous, as over 300 species have been recorded in the area. There is an extensive diversity ofbird species, which is sure to make every bird fanatic's dreams come true. Some of these birds are migrants, while others live in the area permanently. These birds feed on everything from live prey, seeds, fruit to tiny water organisms. In the eastern section of the Walking Area at Manyane Complex, visitors can enjoy a self-guided trail. This trail is excellent for gaining some environmental education, whilst enjoying bird watching on foot. Another exciting option is the walk-in aviary that over 80 species of indigenous birds call home.
In the transition zone of the semi-arid Kalahari Desert and the Lowveld, Pilanesberg offers a unique mix of plant life. Due to the fact that the Kalahari is not a true desert, a bigger range of plants are found and supported in the region. Flora that is connate to the area includes the acacia tree, and many other herbs and grasses. The Kiwano fruit is an oval-shaped melon, characterized by horn-like spikes. When the fruit is ripe, the skin is yellow/orange in colour, with a lime-green flesh similar in texture to the cucumber. The Kiwano fruit is prevalent in the region. It is perhaps better known by other names such as African horned cucumber, jelly melon or the English tomato.

In August 2012, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued final rules implementing the Conflict Minerals disclosure provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. These rules require publicly traded companies to report annually on the extent to which the products they manufacture or contract to manufacture, beginning in 2013, contain conflict minerals sourced from non-conflict free certified mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and surrounding countries. Conflict minerals include tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold, and are used in the manufacture of many electronic components including our semiconductor devices.
QuickLogic is committed to ethical business conduct and the responsible sourcing of minerals. We are working diligently with our suppliers to ensure compliance with the SEC regulations. The international supply chain for conflict minerals is complex and tracing these minerals can be challenging.
We support the efforts of the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI) are making to address responsible sourcing of minerals. The Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) has enabled companies to source conflict-free minerals. The RMI has developed implementation tools and programs including audit protocols for the tracking and elimination of conflict minerals in the global supply chain.
To support compliance with SEC regulations and conduct our own supply chain due diligence, we follow the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas. We use the industry standard Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) to collect sourcing information from our suppliers as an element of our reasonable country of origin inquiry to verify the responsible sourcing of materials.
We expect our suppliers to have a Conflict Minerals Policy and establish their own due diligence program to ensure conflict-free supply chains. We require our suppliers to ensure that the parts used to manufacture our products originate from conflict-free smelters and refiners that have been validated as conformant to the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process (RMAP) assessment protocol and are publically listed on http://www.responsiblemineralsinitiative.org.

The best student unions at UK universities
The country's best student unions compete on delivering top-quality services to students, providing advice, organising events and providing a place to socialise – including organising great nights out.
Unions, by their nature, are organised by students and act as centres of the community on campus. While every student's tastes are different, here are some of the unions that are generally accepted as being top tier.
With over 120 societies ranging from athletics to charity, art and everything in between, students at Loughborough are spoiled for choice. The student union building also distinguishes Loughborough among the best student unions, with its coffee shop, hairdresser, optician, bar and – most impressively – 4,000-person capacity nightclub. The building is also home to an entirely student operated media centre, which operates an award-winning TV station, round the clock radio station and print publications.
Spanning the university's three campuses at Eastbourne, Hastings and Brighton, the Brighton Students' Union boasts popular participation in elections and a host of events year-round. New students are welcomed with some of the country's most elaborate freshers' events, including free rock climbing and a graffiti workshop. Existing students are also invited to try something new with the free "give it a go" sessions at the start of every academic year – a popular model across universities.
The student union at Sheffield has claimed the title as the best student union in student polls in the past, which is no surprise given their excellent team and close connection with the local area. The union organises nights out at clubs and gigs, as well as cinema nights and one-off travel opportunities. Women currently make up a majority on the leadership team, and the council prides itself on its broad participation and transparency.
The student union at Cardiff also differentiates itself with a particular focus on wellbeing and skills development, and students have access to a dedicated Skills Hub, Jobshop and Skills Development Service.
The union also maintains a focus on fun, of course, and in addition to the dedicated nightclub 'Y Plas', they regularly transform the university's 1,600-person capacity Great Hall for events and club nights. The union also boasts a pub, The Taf, which is famous for its roast, and an alcohol-free lounge for study and socialisation, securing it a spot among the best student unions UK universities have to offer.
The union also has a partnership with Domino's Pizza and offers students 50% off their orders – and while that alone would earn it a spot as one of the best student unions in the country, there's plenty more to boast about. The student union hosts near-constant events – including exercise classes, travel, gaming tournaments, and movie screenings – ensuring that members are never bored. It also pursues important campaigns for equality and inclusivity and against issues like sexual violence, and it can even connect students with part-time and full-time jobs.
From welcoming international students with free fish and chips to massioke – mass karaoke – and massive club nights, it's no wonder Plymouth has consistently been voted as having one of the country's best student unions in polls. The Student Union building includes a club and multiple bars, including one which won first place in the National Union of Students' Best Bar None award. The Student Union is also rightly proud of its committed leadership team, liberation forums and charitable efforts.
If you're a student looking for somewhere to keep your possessions between terms or while you switch accommodations, look no further.

Michael Flatley's 'tap' art can be yours for €30k
Artwork by Michael flatley
Ralph Riegel Twitter Email
His dancing feet have made him millions on stage, and now Michael Flatley is hoping they can do likewise on canvas.
http://indo.ie/3uRAI8
https://www.independent.ie/irish-news/article30768325.ece/310c6/AUTOCROP/h342/2014-11-24_iri_4882533_I1.JPG
The 'Riverdance' star's art is to be auctioned in Ireland for the first time, with a guide price of €30,000.
The Chicago-born dancer took up painting as a form of relaxation and as a natural development of his dance and music.
"My painting is a deep passion," he said.
"It started many years ago. I was performing at Madison Square Garden in New York in 2001 and afterwards the crew sent me a piece of the stage as a memento.
"It had hundreds of tap marks from the shows I had done. I framed it and hung it on the wall.
"It wasn't until months later when I was showing guests at a party that it occurred to me, it was a piece of art."
The dancer immediately began to experiment with painting as a way of capturing moments and reflections on his dance and musical passions.
"I thought, when artists paint a piece, it lasts forever. I have to dance my art every night live," he said.
Uniquely, the art produced by the north Cork-based dancer is entirely created by foot taps with paint on canvas in a special studio behind his €30m mansion.
Last year, he presented a painting, 'The Walking Dead', to Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
His first ever painting sale saw another work, 'Opening Night', snapped up by an international collector for €50,000.
The dancer's first Irish sale will take place on Thursday December 4 when Philip Sheppard auctions off his work, 'Rossmore Island'.
It reflects the ghostly landscape of a once-vibrant Kerry island community left devastated by the Famine.
