Superbowl! Lunar New Year Celebrations! Groundhog Day! It's a blockbuster weekend filled with fun happening all over the big apple. Score a touchdown with your family before the big game by taking them to see how NYC does Super Bowl partying right. Ring in the New Year all over again with the 15th Annual Lunar New Year Parade and don't forget to check out our blog post featuring even more Lunar New Years Celebrations. After you score major points with your family and win the big "events around town" game this weekend you can all go to Disney World (in your minds that is!) Here are this weekend's picks.
Have you heard about eight-year-old Alex who used money from her lemonade stand to support pediatric cancer research? What about 11-year-old Olivia whose artwork raised $200,000 for the National Audubon Society to help birds affected by the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico? Or the story about 12-year-old Zach whose 'March Across America' campaign raised $25,000 to support homeless children? These are examples of phenomenal, young philanthropists who wanted to do something to help solve problems in our communities. If you know a child like Alex, Olivia, or Zach who has a big heart and wants to do something to help communities in upper Manhattan, take a look at our roundup of service projects that are easy to do. And we're sure the help will be greatly appreciated by the local organizations.
February is just around the corner. And, you know what that means? In just a few short weeks, kids will get to savor mid-winter recess, the next vacation week of the winter season. Between February 17 and 21st, schools will be closed and kids will be looking for things to do.
Starting Saturday, February 15, the Intrepid museum will host its own kids week. It's a week of themed activities, ranging from science and Star Wars to Broadway shows and sporting activities. Activities will be hosted everyday through Sunday, February 23.
This Friday marks the first day of the new year on the Chinese lunar calendar, known as Lunar New Year, when Asian communities will joyously ring in the Year of the Horse with lively cultural celebrations and traditions all month long. While Lunar New Year is most commonly associated with the Chinese New Year, also celebrated around this time are the Korean, Mongolian, Tibetan, Japanese and Vietnamese New Years' as well.
In school, our kids learn about the culture of the American Indians through history books. I still remember those brief chapters in my texts about the Algonquin and Iroquois tribes. One thing that was always noted was that the Native Americans' had a rich tradition of dance and community gatherings. However, without actually seeing the dances as a child, I always felt detached from truly understanding their traditions.
Football fans rejoice; Super Bowl Sunday is almost here! By here, I mean right here in our area. And you certainly don't need a ticket to the big game to get your football on in New York City this week. We've rounded up the best kid-friendly events, shows, and activities (even some free ones) to get your family in the zone for Super Bowl XLVIII. Game on!
The Swedish Cottage Marionette Theater presents "Bessie's Big Shot," a circus-themed marionette puppet show featuring characters of all shapes and sizes and a cow who just can't seem to find her niche.
Get yourself in a party mood. There are a bunch of events starting off the Chinese New Year celebrations this weekend all over NYC. The Brooklyn Botanic Garden and Central Park are celebrating winter and also in Brooklyn there is a festival celebrating creation and imagination. Don't forget to hit up Little Swappies swap event on Sunday and celebrate saving money and doing good for others in need. So no matter where you go and what you do, have a party this weekend. Sure beats thinking about the cold! Here are this weekend's picks.
For most New York football fans it's bittersweet that Super Bowl XLVIII is in our backyard this year with no team on either side of the ball. So to make sure we don't suffer from the Super Bowl blues, New York City is throwing the biggest party of the year…even for the kids!
The Children's Museum of Manhattan is getting in on the action by joining forces with the National Football League and presenting "You Make the Call: Learn to be an NFL Official," an exhibit giving kids and their families a glimpse into what it's like to be an NFL Official and train like an NFL Pro. And if you followed any of this year's NFL season you'll agree that maybe some of the officials need to visit this exhibit for a refresher course.
There is nothing like walking into a bookstore and smelling new and old books. You just don't get that from Amazon. And yes, Barnes & Noble still exists (at least for the time being) but how about supporting some of the wonderful independent book stores that are still left. Here's a roundup of excellent bookshops in Manhattan where you and your family can have fun browsing, meet authors, and discover some new favorite tales for bedtime.
New York City has no shortage of amazing museums, but finding the right one for kids of all ages—especially toddlers and preschoolers—can be a challenge. (And let's face it—as great as the Children's Museum of Manhattan is, there are only so many times you can go there without going a little nutty). For parents in search of another option for keeping their kids happy and occupied while giving them a great educational experience, the New York Hall of Science (NYSCI) in Corona, Queens is a true gem. With hundreds of exhibits, demonstrations, workshops and activities that explore science, math, and technology, the Hall of Science offers something for everyone—no matter how little (or big) your little ones are.
How do we thank a man who fought for the rights of so many? What do we do to honor a man that had a vision of a better world? Where do we go to acknowledge a man who was an American pastor, activist, humanitarian, and leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement? On Monday, January 20th, we'll celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by spending time learning about his life.
After comic creator and pioneer Dwayne McDuffie passed away in 2011, the comic book community lost one of its greatest multicultural voices. McDuffie was one of the founders of Milestone Media, he created the superhero Static Shock and wrote and produced on both the Ben 10 and Justice League Unlimited cartoons.
This weekend is filled with lots of wonderful things to do involving winter fun, puppets, opera for kids and some superbowl prep thrown in for good measure. This weekend also commemorates the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We can all celebrate his message of friendship and love as he joined hands and hearts with people of all colors on his enduring march to freedom and equality for all. Celebrating fun events with your family and honoring a historical inspiring leader makes for a wonderful long weekend ahead. Here are this weekend's picks.
When you think of Wave Hill, the word beautiful comes to mind. The public garden and cultural center has spectacular views overlooking the Hudson River. The center, set on a former 19th-century estate in the Bronx, offers education and horticultural programs, concerts and art exhibitions, and winding paths through 28 acres of woodlands. It is also filled with formal and natural gardens, stone terraces and grassy lawns. The property, which is owned by New York City, also has a large conservatory, a shop, a cafe, an art gallery, and an environmental education center.
The first major animated feature of 2014 hits theaters this Friday – and it's not from Pixar, Disney or Dreamworks. The Nut Job is an independent movie from Gulfstream Pictures and Toonbox Entertainment. The story is about a squirrel, named Surly, who gets banished from the park and is forced to live in the city. When he realizes that city life is too difficult, he comes up with the genius plan to rob Maury's Nut Store. Needless to say, robbing a human-owned store with a few misfit accomplices turns out to be a little more difficult than he imagined.
After years of fundraising and construction, the LeFrak Center at Lakeside ice-skating rink has finally opened its doors. Brooklyn families can now enjoy a wonderful winter pastime at a brand new, beautiful facility. The center is conveniently located on the southeast corner of the park and is easily accessible by local transit. There is ample signage in Prospect Park along the eastern path, which easily guides visitors to the Center.
Got a budding thespian or musician? After school and weekend programs in drama and music can be a great way to encourage your kids to explore their interests, meet other kids, and learn what it takes to put on a show or perfect a piece of music in an environment that's supportive and fun. We've rounded up some great programs for kids, with an emphasis on pre-teens and teens. Because the show must go on—so why not have your kids go with it?
Are your kids ready for some football? Super Bowl XLVIII is just around the corner. And for the first time since December 30, 1962, it will be hosted in the NY metro area at the MetLife Stadium. Sure, neither the Giants nor the Jets will be in this year's Bowl, but NYC metro can still enjoy the fruits of being a Super Bowl town.
The New Year is bringing great things to the Upper West Side! From a new urgent care location to a new clothing store, there is something for every family to check out. Here are a few of our favorite recent discoveries for your family to enjoy this new year.
Can you still feel your hands? After this week's unbelievable cold it makes you want to move to Australia. Just like Alexander! The tale of his terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day is playing this weekend in Brooklyn and laughing along will warm you up. The Jewish Museum has an archaeological dig this weekend which is also good for escaping the cold weather. You can bury yourself in the sand! There are tons of other events to help shake off the cold like dancing at 2014's first Hip Tot Music Fest of the season and getting icky and sticky at the Brooklyn's Children's Museum. Here are this weekend's picks.
If you've been waiting for the right time to introduce your children to the wonders of the Broadway stage, then 2014 is the time. Broadway Week opens up Winter 2014 with 26 shows all offering two-for-one ticket deals. Although it's called Broadway Week, the discounted shows runs for two weeks, beginning January 21 and ending on February 6.
The New Year brings with it a chance to start fresh and you're probably drowning in others' suggestions – big and small – for making 2014 better than ever. While we love resolutions as much as anybody, the idea of outlining ways to make our work, ourselves, and our families somehow "better" in the next 12 months can be overwhelming. To help you avoid the "resolution trap", which ensnares most of us and our good intentions by the end of January, we've asked some of our experts to weigh in on simple, do-able changes you can make to improve your parenting, your family's diet, and their overall health.
Still looking for an engaging after-school program that gets your kids thinking creatively outside of the classroom?
On February 1, Park Slope will welcome the Brooklyn Game Lab into its neighborhood. Now, I know what you're thinking. Your children play enough Xbox One, Playstation 4 and Wii U at home – then of course there's the iPad and Nintendo 3DS vying for time. However, the Brooklyn Game Lab isn't about digital games. The Game Lab focuses on tabletop games like Saboteur, Settlers of Catan and Citadels. These are communal games that get kids (and adults) thinking strategically. For instance, by playing Settlers of Catan your children will start to hone their negotiation skills and learn about resource management.
With the holiday season over, everyone's pockets are feeling a little lighter. And with the harsh winter weather upon us, it will be quite a while before budget-friendly activities like the playground or beach are an option when you really want to go out with the kids. But you don't have to give into the winter blues just because it seems like all of the fun stuff is too expensive–there are plenty of ways to break your family out of the house without breaking the bank. Here's a roundup of fun, free events and activities taking place this winter in NYC.
What good is a trip to a museum where all of the really cool stuff is behind ropes and glass? At the Staten Island Children's Museum, kids get the one-of-a-kind opportunity to touch, feel, learn and explore to their heart's content. Almost every exhibit in the museum is a completely hands-on discovery experience. I stopped by with my own family one afternoon recently to find out all about this popular kid spot in Staten Island.
Happy 2014! The holiday season may have come to a close, but there are still some fun train sites to see at the New York Botanical Garden. For starters, the Garden's Holiday Train Show will remain open through January 12.
When it comes to nature, inquisitive children will often ask questions that we don't have the answer to. For instance, how many does a giraffe have over the course of its lifetime? And how many roosting holes will a woodpecker drill during its life?
The lights are about to close on Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. The Broadway show, which first previewed in November 2010, will close its doors on January 4.
Happy New Year! The new year means new beginnings and some endings as well. Be sure to check out and take part in some shows, places and events that are ending this weekend like Mother Africa, The Nutcracker and the McCarren Rink. We wish everyone happy new beginnings filled with family fun this year! Here are this weekend's picks.
Kids love telescopes. And really, how much cooler does it get than being able to look at stars immeasurably far away with something you can put together yourself?
But one of the drawbacks of living in New York is the lack of sky—eclipses, shooting stars and giant pumpkin moons are often lost to us because we simply have too many buildings—it's hard to even see the night sky in many neighborhoods.
Seeing gifts in children's shoes, hiding figurines of baby Jesus in bread (el Rosca de Reyes or King's Ring) and leaving sweet treats under the tree for the king's animals are a few very important traditions of El Dia de los Reyes. The Day of the Kings or Three Kings Day is celebrated on January 6th, the twelfth day after Christmas.

In the current information age, the use of data has become essential for decision making in public health at the local, national, and global level. Despite a global commitment to the use and sharing of public health data, this can be challenging in reality. No systematic framework or global operational guidelines have been created for data sharing in public health. Barriers at different levels have limited data sharing but have only been anecdotally discussed or in the context of specific case studies. Incomplete systematic evidence on the scope and variety of these barriers has limited opportunities to maximize the value and use of public health data for science and policy.

In answer to a former article relative to the dearth of woman here, we are now receiving two to five letters per day from all classes and styles of young, middle-aged and old women who desire to come to Wyoming.
Some of them would like to come here to work and obtain an honest livelihood, and some of them desire to come here and marry cattle kings.
Yes, Rosalinde, that's what we are afraid of. We had a kind of a vague fear that you meant business, so we did not reply to your letter. Wyoming already has women enough who write with a lead pencil. We are also pretty well provided with poor spellers, and we do not desire to ransack Michigan for affectionate but sap-headed girls.
Stay in Michigan, Rosalinde, until we write to you, and one of these days when you have been a mother eight or nine times, and as you stand in the golden haze in the back yard, hanging out damp shirts on an uncertain line, while your ripe and dewy mouth is stretched around a bass-wood clothes pin, you will thank us for this advice.
Michigan is the place for you. It is the home of the Sweet Singer and the abiding place of the Detroit Free Press. We can't throw any such influences around you here as those you have at your own door.
Do not despair, Rosalinde. Some day a man, with a great, warm, manly heart and a pair of red steers, will see you and love you, and he will take you in his strong arms and protect you from the Michigan climate, just as devotedly as any of our people here can. We do not wish to be misunderstood in this matter. It is not as a lover that we have said so much on the girl question, but in the domestic aid department, and when we get a long letter from a young girl who eats slate pencils and reads Ouida behind her atlas, we feel like going over there to Michigan with a trunk strap and doing a little missionary work.

Science fills kids with wonder and excitement about the world around them. What is a rainbow? How does a caterpillar change into a butterfly? The end of the school year is the perfect time to break out those last minute science experiments and activities that will leave your students thirsting for more exploration over the summer months. While the three activities below can be done at any time of the year for fun or review, they are especially perfect for winding down the school year. Check them out!
Kids love jeopardy-style games and science lends itself perfectly to such an activity. Choose topics that you have covered throughout the year to craft answers to the questions that students will need to ask in order to earn points. Have them work in pairs or individually if the class is small. It is a great review of the year's information as the students prepare to leave for summer vacation.
Tip: Laminate the pieces of the game and store them in a separate "End of the Year Activities" folder so that you will have it ready for next year's class.
Using free paint chips from the paint department of your local home improvement store, pair students up in teams to seek out the colors on the card on the playground. The group that finds the most colors naturally appearing in their surroundings wins. You can keep the paint strips whole, or cut them up and place a variety of different colors in a small bag for each group. Students will need to keep track of what they found the color on and where it was located on the playground, so be sure to have a small clipboard and pencil for each group ready to go.
Try this fun, easy and inexpensive science experiment to get your students talking about molecules and more!
What fun science activities do you love to share with your class? Leave a comment and let us know!

by Lord Dodo | December 8, 2019 · 10:30 AM
📢 📢 HELP!… the Dodo Pad is destined for extinction!!!
I'm Rebecca Jay, Managing Director of Dodo Pad.
This, by a long mile, is the hardest and the saddest blog post I have ever had to write in all my years at the 'helm' of Dodo Pad. And in case you are counting, yes, every single Dodo Pad diary ever produced is in the word HELP! below. All 54 of them.
The Executive Summary
In short, unless some magic happens and a fairy godmother or white knight appears in the next few weeks, the 2020 Dodo Pad diary will be the very last in the Dodo Pad's proud 54-year history and the company will close in the Spring.
I helped rescue the Dodo Pad from extinction in early 1996 when my son was a tiny baby – an almost unbelievable 24 years ago. HarperCollins, the previous publishers, had sold their stationery interests to Debden who had no interest to continue with the Dodo Pad – it was believed to be a brand that had 'had its day'.
The opportunity fell into my lap via a chance conversation which brought back fond memories, as a teenager, of my own 1968 Dodo Pad diary. It provided me with the opportunity, aged 40 and with my very unexpected and only child, to avoid returning to the fierce world of advertising in which I had worked for over 15 years. It gave me a chance to do something for myself, to become a 'kitchen table entrepreneur' and to be around to enjoy my son as he grew up. It was an exciting challenge to build a company from scratch and develop an already much loved and 'indodispensable' diary brand.
Exactly 23 years ago today, Sunday 8th December 1996, this article 'Diary of a Somebody', by Rachel Cooke (to whom I am forever grateful) appeared in the Sunday Times Style Magazine and it propelled us into the next stage of the Dodo Pad's life.
Over the years we expanded the range with the objective of building a small but sustainable business. There have been a number of product successes – for instance our recently expanded everyday stationery range – and some failures too (like our Book of the Big Move launched in the week of the financial crisis in 2008 when house moving slowed to a tiny trickle), but here's a quote from Winston Churchill that has been my mantra throughout:
I have no regrets. The last 24 years have been a rollercoaster with thrills and spills but since the 2008 recession it's been increasingly tough. The parallel rise of Amazon/online retailing and the demise of the high street, coupled with increased production costs vs. retail price expectations (everyone wants something for less and is prepared to find a way to get it!) have brought us to a point beyond which we cannot go.
The past 3 years, in the wake of the Brexit vote and the massive fall in the value of the pound, have been the toughest yet, despite my sunny demeanour when I speak to customers.
2 years ago I started searching for potential buyers. After much effort, protracted negotiations with an ideal buyer had achieved what we believed was a firm sale. It came to nothing this summer when their board voted, instead of taking us on and building their publishing arm, to concentrate on removing their core print business from China due to the trade war threats emanating from the USA, courtesy of Donald Trump. Outside influences over which we had no control.
It's a wry irony that our 2020 Dodo Pad is Amazon's best-selling family planner this week and we've just achieved our highest ever Trusted Shops website review score.
To those of you who tell me you couldn't live without your Dodo Pad (and you are many) well, I'm afraid you're most probably going to have to undergo some gentle withdrawal therapy over the next 12 months… unless something very magical happens over the next few days and weeks.
To those of you who have read this far and have been buying loyally for over 50 years; to those of you with a more recent habit or just some curiosity about what makes the Dodo Pad so special; to those of you who always buy Dodo Pads for Christmas in the knowledge that they will bring unbridled organisation with some gentle humour, please remember that…
And if you don't happen to know any fairy godmothers or white knights (we're gender-neutral here so we accept fairy godfathers too) please give everyone you know a 2020 Dodo Pad for Christmas and help us go out with a bang! We plan to hold a super sale in the early Spring when everything left will be on very special offer.
A little part of me will die with the demise of the Dodo Pad – I have given it well over half my entire life's work and it's the only job my son James has ever known me do.
Please follow us on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram where we'll be making a bit of noise over the next few days, hoping to be heard above the cacophony of the UK's imminent general election!
Is there someone out there to take the Dodo Pad into the future? It's a great and much-loved brand and still has huge potential, but it needs a new champion for that future. If you are that person or know that person, then please get in touch.
I thank all our customers and supporters over the years, for your loyalty to and enjoyment of the Dodo Pad.
All best wishes for a wonderful Christmas and a very happy and healthy New Year.

A Dodo Pad diary – Your Constant Companion
Long term users of our quirky Dodo Pad have laid their lives bare and spoken of their love affair with it as part of celebrations to mark our milestone 50th anniversary.
A mother keeping the memory of her late daughter alive through the pages of her notes and doodles. Two lost friends reconnecting over shared memories after years apart. A divorcee knowing they've always got someone to turn to. A priest wanting to stand out from the crowd at clergy meetings.
Their lives could not be more different. But they all have one thing in common – the Dodo Pad diaries they have kept as a constant companion to chronicle their lives over many decades, through good times and bad.
We recently launched a search for stories from our 'superfans' to give them the chance to share in the celebrations of our rich past. Renowned for its innovative weekly planning grid design, quirky drawings and witty anecdotes, generations have used the Dodo Pad to document their lives and keep their day-to-day goings on in order. So many people now treasure their collections of old Dodo Pads built up over the years, having filled them with their innermost thoughts and life milestones.
This Acad-Pad belongs to a student who started aged 13, is now almost 21 and loves it just as much!
Sarah Vokes said: "A friend of mine way back at university 40 years ago had a Dodo Pad and I envied it enormously. She was rather eccentric and I wanted to be too. I have recently been reunited with this friend, who lives in France, and on meeting again, we shared Dodo memories."
Rachael Rushent couldn't function this year without her Dodo Pad after her mother accidentally threw it away whilst tidying up – and she had no problem rummaging through the bin if it meant getting it back!
She said: "I broke my leg and my mum helpfully came round to help me tidy the house. She managed to scoop up dear Dodo and throw him in the dustbin. I was lost for three days before I decided to have a rummage. After delving through the bin, I found Dodo. My life was restored and I shared my story on Facebook."
Lady Bridie Graham has been using Dodo Pad diaries since 1978, and can laugh at many a comical tale she has documented of her children growing up through the years.
Bridie Graham's Dodo Pad – October 2016
Recalling one particularly funny memory chronicled within her treasured Dodo Pad pages, she said: "I used to put funny things my children said in it. For instance, I was carrying my two-year-old up to bed for her nap and she said 'my eye is sore, mummy, we are just going to have to buy me a new one'."
C of E priest, Cilla Hawkes, said her Dodo Pad stood out from the crowd during clergy meetings. She added: "I like to have my Dodo Pad out at clergy meetings to be a bit outrageous. The Church of England Diary is of course is very useful and good, but using my Dodo Pad lets me not be subsumed into the system. It really is an essential part of getting through life. Its light-heartedness and its mad ideas make me feel I belong to the Dodo Pad family."
For Mr Jo Hidderley, his Dodo Pad is a friend he can always rely on. He said: "It's great fun. The design is brilliant in that it's so practical and functional it keeps me organised, while still being a joy to look at. At 67, divorced and living on my own – It's my best friend (Aaah!) It's also house-trained, very clean, doesn't take a lot to feed and once purchased it is exceptionally cheap to run."
Jenni Staunton, aged 60, said: "I love everything about the Dodo Pad and it sits by my side for the whole year. I will keep every one of them forever. I have used my Dodo Pads to record every important moment in the lives of my five children."
Some exceptionally well-filled Dodo Pads!
The Dodo Pad has also proven to be a genuine friend and source of comfort through the most tragic of circumstances.
"The Dodo Pad means a great deal to me, having used it daily for 40 years. I have kept all the copies over the years – quite a collection by now – and treasure them with all their memories". We were very touched when Carole Scott told us: "It is especially poignant because my beautiful daughter Karen died very suddenly and tragically, whilst giving birth to her son in 2002. It is something which I will never truly get used to, but I have so much of her life chronicled in the Dodo Pads of her youth, which I cherish, along with all my wonderful memories of her."
A proud collection of Dodo Pad diaries stretching back to the 1970's…
Designed by the late writer, painter and illustrator, Sir John Verney, as a way or organising the hectic daily comings and goings of his family-of-nine, Dodo Pad diaries burst on to the scene back in 1966. With their unusual and family oriented theme, the Dodo Pad immediately became the must-have 'uber-cool' organiser.
Fast forward 50 years with me Rebecca Jay, mum-of-one, at the helm, we're still making waves. We've just been included again, for the 5th year running, in The Independent's IndyBest Top Ten diaries for 2017. Not bad for a 50 year old – and still as relevant today as in 1966.
I've been overwhelmed with the response from our 'Super Fans' for the heartwarming tales they have shared and the fact that so many people treasure their Dodo Pads as lifelong friends. It really does have a personality and people relate to it. It's funny, it's warm, it's witty and it's quirky and creative. It's a unique brand that people love. What other diary brand have you ever heard people say they 'love' or 'couldn't live without'??
It has been especially moving hearing what an important part the Dodo Pad has played in so many lives over decades. It is more than just a diary – it is a true friend. People use it to tell their innermost thoughts, share milestone moments from their lives and those of their children, remember the happiest times, and use it to comfort them in their worst times. Think of all the things you value in a true friendship – loyalty, dependability and companionship – and that is what people say the Dodo Pad brings them.
I saved Dodo Pad from extinction almost 21 years ago and, when I read what a difference it makes to people's lives, I feel incredibly proud.
The 2016 50th anniversary diary range was created with a decadent gold and purple cover to mark our 'Golden Jubilee'. The new 2017 diaries feature a bright and beautiful zesty lime design to stand out from the crowd and welcome in the next 50 years.

DodoPadler of the Day: Laurie
Hallooo dear DodoPadlers! Miss Peabody here!
We have a special treat today here on Miss Peabody Writes! DodoPadler Laurie is an American living in Scotland with her family. Laurie uses a Dodo Wall Acad-Pad to keep her family informed of everyone's comings and goings throughout the week. She was happy to share some details with me of how she uses her Wall Acad-Pad along with the Save The Day reminder stickers. Here is what she has to say about her Dodo Pad:
Laurie's Wall Acad-Pad
"I hang my Dodo Wall Acad-Pad on the messageboard in the kitchen so that everyone can see it. I've included a couple of photos of a recent week as an example.
I use the top page for To-Do lists, and this particular week my son added his representation of a Dodo, complete with stickers for the mouth and hats on his head!
Here is a close-up of the weekly grid so you can see how I use it:
Weekly grid
You can see that I use the first column in the grid as Today, which is for things like holidays, trash collection vs recycling collection day, or on Monday of this week our house guests were leaving that day. Then each person in the household has his or her own column, so I can see who is doing what and when all week. My kids love the Dodo stickers because they are cute and because they allow them to know what's going on since they can't read yet. I like that this system allows them to be a part of planning the week for the whole family and encourages organization from an early age.
In the left margin I write the dinner menus for the week so that I can plan my shopping and I never have that awful feeling of looking into the fridge at 5:30 pm wondering what to make for dinner!
I also use the Dodo Pad diary A5 Filofax insert in my Filofax, which is wonderful for adding fun to my day. In it I use the grid to block out different categories of tasks for each day: Appointments, Household (where I write my cleaning schedule), Homeschool, Work, Personal (where I record daily exercise and other goals).
I love Dodo Pad diaries because they are so fun and engaging and, they are different every single week of the year. They are proof that time management doesn't have to be boring!"
Many thanks Laurie! It is so fascinating to see how different people use their Dodo Pads in different ways – I think the dinner menu on the left hand side is pure, but simple genius – I shall be telling cook to do the same here at Dodo Towers!
Would you like your Dodo Pad to be featured here on Miss Peabody Writes? Please do tell us how you use your Dodo Pad diary, send us photos of your diary doodles, or tell us a story about your Dodo Pad. We love to hear from you! If you would like to share something with us, please post a comment!
I hope to hear from you soon!

Dodevoted · A series of occasional ramblings about anything and everything to do with the Dodo Pad, purveyors of Britain's favourite diaries, calendars, organisers, planners and everyday stationery.


Public safety is BC Hydro's number one priority.
Effective May 18 BC Hydro will prohibit the public from entering the river beside the John Hart Generating Station out of concern for the dangerous tree hazard within the Campbell River. The old-growth hemlock is located about 500 metres downstream of the station and has fallen across the river, covering about 75 per cent of the river channel. This is a potentially fatal public safety river hazard and BC Hydro has decided to lock the public river access gate beside the generating station until further notice. The Canyon View Trail remains fully open through BC Hydro property.
The increasing warm weather and higher river flow conditions presents a high public safety risk should tubers or water craft become entangled within the tree. The power of water and its currents are often underestimated.
BC Hydro has been monitoring the situation since the tree fell into the river in March from the wind storm. We have been in contact with Destiny River Adventures, BC Parks, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
BC Hydro asks the public to re-direct and enter the river below the tree hazard. Should the tree be dislodged, public river access from our property will be restored.
We gave thorough consideration for this situation given the public enjoyment of the river. There are always potential risks from trees lodged against river banks and river safety should always be top of mind. This is the first time in recent memory that we have prohibited river access from our property from a downstream river hazard. Given the unique situation of the tree size, the way it has fallen into the river and the river coverage, and the experience required to navigate away from the tree, BC Hydro believes the safety of the public is of highest priority.
Signs will be placed in the John Hart parking lot and on the river access gate.
The only river access that will be provided from our property is to Destiny River Adventures.
Any questions can be directed to me at 250-755-4795 or steve.watsonbchydro.com.
Update: BC Hydro has now received approval from the Comptroller of Water Rights to operate John Hart outside of our water license given the high snow pack. This was outlined in Wednesday's operations notice. BC Hydro will proceed tonight to increase the downstream river flow by 25 per cent by tomorrow morning.

I Thought the Brain Was the Most Important Organ Until I Realized What Was Telling Me That
Emo Philips? George Carlin? Richard Saul Wurman? Dale Dauten? Daniel C. Dennett? Anonymous?
Dear Quote Investigator: A prominent philosopher of consciousness and the brain included a hilarious joke in a recent book. Here are three versions:
I used to think that the human brain was the most fascinating part of the body. Then I realized, 'look what's telling me that'.
I used to think that my brain was the most important organ in my body, but then I thought: look who's telling me that.
I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. Then I realized who was telling me this.
This quip has been attributed to the U.S. stand-up comedians Emo Philips and George Carlin. Would you please explore its provenance?
Quote Investigator: The earliest match located by QI appeared in a comedy special starring Emo Philips broadcast in 1987 on the cable channel Home Box Office (HBO). Philips told an anecdote during which he was arrested and sent to a psychiatrist for evaluation. Boldface added to excerpts by QI: 1
Do you like psychology? I don't. I used to think that the human brain was the most fascinating part of the body. Then I realized, whoa, 'look what's telling me that'.
Journalists wrote reviews of the HBO program and shared Emo's jokes with readers; however, fallible human memory generated variant phrasings. For example, in March 1987 columnist Richard K. Shull of "The Indianapolis News" in Indiana printed an instance using "who's" instead of "what's": 2
As for Emo's philosophy, he says, "I used to think the brain was the most fascinating part of the body. Then I thought, 'Look who's telling me that.'"
One day later, the entertainment reporter Larry Kart of the "Chicago Tribune" published a very close match to Emo's words: 3
Very strange and very funny, provided one has a taste for Emo's off-the-wall sense of humor ["I used to think the human brain was the most fascinating part of the body," he says, "and then I realized, 'Look what's telling me that'"]
In 1992 the architect Richard Saul Wurman who later co-founded the TED conferences published the book "Follow the Yellow Brick Road: Learning To Give, Take, and Use Instructions" which included a variant of the quotation using the phrase "most important organ". The name "Philips" was misspelled as "Phillips": 4
I used to think that my brain was the most important organ in my body, but then I thought: look who's telling me that.—Paraphrased from comedian Emo Phillips
In 1999 syndicated business columnist Dale Dauten shared a version with the phrase "most wonderful organ" while crediting Emo and misspelling 'Philips": 5
THE JOKE: "I used to think that the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. Then I realized who was telling me this." — Emo Phillips
In 2007 Winston-Salem Journal of North Carolina printed an instance somewhat close to the original: 6
"I used to think that the brain was the most fascinating part of the body," comedian Emo Phillips once said. "Then I realized, 'look who's telling me that.'"
In 2010 Richard Saul Wurman delivered a keynote address at the 11th annual Information Architecture Summit, and a transcript was posted on the website "Boxes and Arrows". Wurman concluded his speech by presenting a version of the joke which he attributed to Emo Philips: 7
For years and years and years, I thought my brain was the most important organ of my body, until one day I thought, hmm. Look who's telling me that!
In 2017 prominent philosopher Daniel C. Dennett published "From Bacteria to Bach and Back: The Evolution of Minds", and he included an instance of the joke which was the same as the version shared by Wurman in 2010; however, Dennett credited comedian George Carlin: 8
. . . one of my favorite George Carlin one-liners:
In conclusion, Emo Philips delivered this line during an HBO comedy special in 1987, and he deserves credit for it. Variant phrasings have proliferated over time, and it is conceivable that Philips presented the quip in more than one way. The linkage to George Carlin is currently unsupported. QI suggests employing the 1987 instance while crediting Emo Philips.

Warmer weather spurs increase in ice anglers
New Dilworth bar and grill forced to close just weeks after opening under governor's restrictions
The Silver Spike Bar & Grill broke ground before the pandemic reached the U.S. They just opened September 17.
Written By: Matt Henson | Nov 18th 2020 - 11pm.
Bar manager Jacob Knodel calls Governor Walz's announcement devastating. Matt Henson
DILWORTH, Minn. — One week after a 10 p.m. statewide curfew was put into place, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz now says all bars and restaurants must close their doors except for takeout or delivery.
The announcement has frustrated some people that work in the service industry, like Silver Spike Bar & Grill bar manager Jacob Knodel.
"(We're) frustrated with all the uncertainty of what's going on," explained Knodel. "(After) finally working out all the kinks and getting our name out there and getting everything in check, and now we need to take a step back instead of a step forward."
The situation was looking merry and bright to recoup those building expenses that included an event room that was booked through the holidays.
"(We're) canceling all of our parties and (losing) that family foot traffic of checking out a new place," said Knodel.
Walz is asking for the federal government to send bailout money immediately.
"You are doing a public service beyond anything that should ever been asked of you. By closing your doors and putting your financial well-being at risk you are protecting the lives of our neighbors," the governor said during a primetime announcement.
It's an even bigger blow to bars and restaurants along the border, especially in the Red River Valley where North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum just eased capacity restrictions.
The Minnesota Licensed Beverage Association said they have had discussions with Walz, but no discussions with them happened before Walz announced these new restrictions.
"There have not been a lot (of) exceptions or details thought through yet because it's happening so quickly," said Leslie Rosedahl, a spokeswoman for the Minnesota Licensed Beverage Association.
This industry is not alone. The governor says you are not allowed to mingle with people outside of your house, and that movie theaters, bowling alleys and other indoor entertainment venues and gyms need to close.
"It's a mental and physical problem," said Jeff Knoll as he walked into Planet Fitness in Moorhead.
This time around, churches, hair salons, barbershops and retail stores will be allowed to remain open.
"I'm asking you to do something that should have never have been asked as you again, and I want to acknowledge what is being asked is hard work," said Walz.
At the Silver Spike there's 48 hours until last call. They plan on reopening whenever that may be, but not every mom and pop business will get another shot.
"He doesn't understand the impact he is going to create not only for the next month but from here on out," said Knodel.

A Spectacular Photographic Collection Celebrating the 70th Anniversary of Israel!
Book, 2018/2019 Calendar and Messianic Audio CD!
Doug Hershey has produced an amazing 2018/2019 Jewish Calendar, celebrating Israel's 70th Anniversary. This colorful, one-of-a-kind calendar includes all of the Jewish Feast Days, the often-prophetic Daily Torah Readings that are recited in Jewish synagogues all over the world, many spectacular photos straight out of his Israel Rising book, and prophetic commentary on those eye-opening landscapes. You will be amazed when you see how God has blessed the Land of Israel and be reminded of it every month when you flip the page! This calendar is a real work of art!
Here's a personal note from the author . . .
Today, as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the nation of Israel we understand, as did the sons of Isaachar, the times and the seasons we are living in (I Chronicles 12:32). 2600 years ago, God told the prophet Ezekiel to prophesy, not to kings, or nations, or people, but to the physical land of Israel: "But you, mountains of Israel, will produce branches and fruit for my people Israel, for they will soon come home" (Ezekiel 36:8).
While the Jewish people were exiled for almost 2,000 years, the land lay desolate. Once the people began returning and the nation was reborn in 1948, the deserts began to bloom and the land changed dramatically. "The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom (Isaiah 35:1).
For the first time ever, thanks to the invention of the modern camera in the 1820s, we are able to provide the photographic evidence that the Scriptures are true and that God keeps His promises to a thousand generations.
In this commemorative, Israel Rising calendar, you can enjoy each month of Israel's 70th year, beginning in April of 2018 to May of 2019. You will visually witness the transformation of the Land since the return of the Jewish people in 1948. It is my privilege to share with you these historic pictures of this desolate land, taken between the 1880s-1940s, then recreated today from the same angle, providing miraculous evidence that the land is truly reviving, just as Ezekiel foretold. May these photos be a blessing to you every month throughout Israel's 70th Anniversary!

At the end of the Second World War, Lithuania including Klaipėda region were occupied by the Soviet Union for five decades. The judicial system was reorganized in accordance with the two-level system model.
Judicial system in Soviet Lithuania consisted of the Public Courts divided into several districts and the Supreme Court of the Lithuanian SSR. The 1th-5th District Public Courts of Klaipėda City were established in Klaipėda.
A new judicial system in Lithuania was created after the reform in 1958-1961. Since 1st of April, 1959 all five district public courts were brought together within a single court - the Klaipėda City Public Court.
Such court system proceeded until the 1st of January, 1995, when on 31 of May, 1994, Law of the Republic of Lithuania on Courts established a new court system.
Judiciary reform has been started since the restoration of Independence of the Republic of Lithuania in 1990. The first attempt to reform the system was made on 6 February 1992, when The Law of the Republic of Lithuania on Courts was adopted. The Article 1 of this Law provided four-level court system of Lithuania, consisting of district courts, regional courts, the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court.
However, according to this Law, only the district courts and the Supreme Court were established. The Klaipėda City District Court was established in Klaipėda as well. For the establishment of regional courts and the Court of Appeal it was necessary to adopt relevant procedural laws, also find the funds for the implementation of this reform.
For these reasons, regional courts of Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai and Panevėžys started operating since the 1 of January, 1995, when the Law on the Lithuanian Supreme Court, Court of Appeal of Lithuania, regional courts and the establishment of regional and district courts operating areas for identifying and reforming the Lithuanian Prosecutor's Office, adopted on the 15th of June, 1994, entered into force.
As provided by the Law, there are 9 district courts in the territory of Klaipėda Regional Court: Klaipėda City District Court, Palanga City District Court, Klaipėda Region District Court, Kretinga Region District Court, Plungė Region District Court, Skuodas Region District Court, Skuodas Region District Court, Šilalė Region District Court, Šilutė Region District Court, Tauragė Region DistrictCourt.
The Klaipėda regional court is the first instance for criminal and civil cases assigned to its jurisdiction by law, and appeal instance for judgements, decisions, rulings and orders of district courts. The Chairman of a regional court organises and controls the administrative activities of district courts and their judges within the territory of his activities in accordance with the procedure prescribed by law.
The Law of the Republic of Lithuania on Courts provides that the Court of Appeal of Lithuania shall be the appellate instance for cases involving decisions, judgements, rulings, resolutions and orders taken by regional courts.
According to the Decree of the President of Lithuania (19 December 1994) Rasa Valentinienė was appointed as the first chairperson of the Klaipėda Regional Court; on the 28th of April, 1998, Mr. Algirdas Gailiūnas was appointed to this possition. Since the 21st of June, 2010 so far the Klaipėda regional court is headed by Arvydas Daugėla.

A matched pair of Army Navy boxlock ejectors built for Sir John Courtdown Edward Shelley (later Shelley-Rolls, 1871-1951). No. 1 has 27 1/2″ barrels with 2 1/2″ chambers, choked .003/.005 (about skeet and skeet). No. 2 has 30″ barrels and 2 1/2″ chambers, choked .000/.041 (true cylinder and full). These guns have intercepting sears, and the actions feature acanthus scroll engraving. The fore-ends have Anson push-button releases. The stocks measure 1 ½" x 2 1/8" x 14 5/8" with cast off, and guns weigh, respectively, 6 lbs 5 oz and 6 lbs 7 oz.
Sir John was the great nephew of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. He became the sixth Baronet of Castle Goring, Sussex. After he married into the Rolls family he took the hyphenated last name Shelley-Rolls in compliance with the will of his father-in-law, Lord Llangattock. (His brother-in-law, Charles Rolls, founded Rolls Royce.) Sir John was fond of shooting, and was a regular participant in the shooting parties around the turn of the century. His father-in-law, Lord Llangattock, hosted many such shoots at "The Hendre," the family estate in Monmouthshire. In 1900, the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George V and Queen Mary), visited the estate.
Lord Llangattock was a prominent member of the Anti-Vivisection Society, a position that caused some controversy as illustrated by the following letter of 18 May 1901 (published in the Journal of the British Medical Association):
"SIR,-I see that Lord Llangattock, who presided at the annual meeting of the Antivivisection Society on 9 May, gave credence to 'the horrible stories of what takes place in the laboratories of physiology,' denounced vivisection as 'misleading, immoral, and degrading,' and professed 'a sentiment for animals.' Now, I recollect reading in the newspapers last autumn a description of a battue on a large scale, given by Lord Llangattock at his place in Wales, at which a phenomenal number of pheasants were shot for the recreation of Lord Llangattock and his friends, and I should like him to study this little picture of his own dealings with animals, for which he has 'a sentiment' drawn not by a vivisector, but by a man who is a keen and trustworthy observer, and who is in genuine sympathy with all senitient beings."
Whether or not Lord Llangattock or Sir John paid the letter any heed, it is certain that this pair of boxlocks made a robust contribution to the "phenomenal number of pheasants" killed on the estate.

Well! Not being raised in a church-going christian household, meant that most of my GOD knowledge came from an ungodly environment. So, because most of us just naturally assumed we were that pre-destined part of the 'have-nots', we attempted to comfort one another with sayings like "at least I won't be there by myself; all of my friends are gonna be right down there with me; and we're gonna parta forever!' Okay, I hear yall sanctified folk gasping, but what else could you expect, huh?

One day in the winter of his life, King Solomon, God's proclaimed wisest man in the world, sat pondering events, adventures and experiences of former seasons, and penned the words left in Ecclesiastes 7:29. Theologians have various perspectives on how and even if somethings happened that caused a quantrum shift in this young man's overview of life. Since, I am unqualified to object or sustain either I defer the question to the more capable intellectual biblical scholars!
However allow me, with the aid of Holy Spirit, to share a few insights that I gleaned as I visited these texts. Hopefully, someone might find them useful for practical daily application. I am firmly convinced that every one of us born into the earth has at some point, looked up inquiring, 'Why me, what's going on and when is it gonna change for my good?' But it's alright, ain't nobody here but you and me, ok?
It's a whole lot easier to hide somethings in the closets of our minds, rather than openly subjecting them to the speculations of folk we need to impress and even more so advantagious to cover them up from self, huh? But somebody a whole lot smarter than I said, 'You can't conquer what you'll not willing to confront'! Don't you just hate those addages? LOL!
Recently, I was confronted by an opportunity to delve heart-first into a long-standing personal dilemma, 'how is it that we, humans—save and unsaved—are able to justify our actions even while acknowledging that they're wrong!' I use that word wrong, because they say in this New Millennium Age, it's more palatable than SIN!
Most of us have, at varying degrees, mentally assented to the reality of GOD! While there may be a multiplicity of individual opinions of Who,Where and What role does He play in our lives, I don't think I'm way out on a limb with this assumption. The unregenerated soul cannot be expected to receive the things of God because they don't know HIM. (Ref. 1 Corinthians 2:14) Problem is those of us who name the Name of Jesus Christ, are obviously able to conjure up in our minds an IMAGE of our own God. Beloved, trust2kno! I know better than anyone, I am far from a finished work! Hence, I say this not out of a superficious self-righteous spirit, but as a statement of observation over the past years of pastoring God's sheep!
We all know that The Word of God is alive and speaks to us taking into full account our personal circumstances and situations! Nevertheless, there are inherent truths that flow through generations, that are immuable! Whether we understand, believe, agree or disagree! Truth is ABSOLUTE because God is Truth and God is Sovereign!
I guess, we never looked at it like that, huh? After all, God knows out hearts, right? It's more self comforting to judge others by their actions and ourselves by our good intentions! After all, what would become of us if we looked in the mirror of God's Word and saw ourselves as God sees. Why we might have to plead guilty to the myriad of alleged charges railed against us of repeated abuse of God's Love, breaking His Commandments, gross dis-honor and negligence, denying His Right to rule over His creations, refusal to submit to His authority and Power as Eternal Soveign Lord God!
Well, when you put it like dat! Kinda makes you wonder, what's your response to the ultimate question 'WHO DO U SAY I AM'?
I'm not Holy Ghost, Jr. so I can't tell you what King Solomen's final conclusion meant or didn't. I can only speak for myself. But! Think about it! At the end of the day, we're all slaves; yet GOD honors us as Sons! #AWEMAAZZIN!
IT BEHOOVES ANY /ALL OF US TO REMEMBER THAT BABYLON WILL BE JUDGED IN ONE DAY! WOW! TRUTH OF CONSEQUENCES!

Twitter is rolling out a dramatic change to its timeline feature, four days after its CEO assured angry users that no such change was imminent.
In a blog post, Twitter announced they will be turning on a new feature for their users in the coming weeks. Instead of seeing tweets in reverse chronological order at the top of their feeds, users will see a selection of tweets chosen by an algorithm that matches tweets to users' interests. This is precisely the sort of change that users were led to believe would not be introduced this week.
After a report in BuzzFeed last Friday claimed that Twitter planned to introduce the new Facebook-style timeline as a potentially mandatory alternative to its current real-time news feed, users revolted. They gathered on the #RIPTwitter hashtag, which quickly attracted over a million tweets from celebrities, commentators, and ordinary users.
In response to user protests, CEO Jack Dorsey made a series of tweets, appearing to promise that no change to users' timelines would be introduced this week.
It seems users were being lulled into a false sense of security. In their announcement, Twitter stressed that the change is optional. However, the change will be opt-out rather than opt-in: users will have the new timeline automatically switched on for them and will have to manually switch back to the old, chronological timeline via their user settings.
Users will also have concerns about how long the new timeline will remain optional. Facebook, a company whose success Twitter hopes to emulate, has a history of introducing optional changes before making them mandatory for all users.
Twitter's change comes as the company's stock price continues to tank. Shares in the company are currently trading at less than $15, down from over $25 in December. The company has also received increasingly negative media attention in recent weeks, facing accusations of political bias in the users it targets for punishment.

Race for Life in Sutton Park helps raise cash for Cancer research UK
THE green acres of Sutton Park were turned pink as thousands of runners turned out to Race for Life.
Birmingham Live
Around 5,000 women put on their brightest pink clothes to take part in the annual event in Sutton Coldfield yesterday in aid of Cancer Research UK.
It is hoped that the fun runners who ran, jogged or walked the 5km distance raised tens of thousands of pounds towards the cancer charity's target of £240,000 to support its life-saving work.
An additional boost was provided on the day by runners donating their old clothes in a special charity collecting box, called the Donation Station, in the park.
A spokeswoman for the organisers said: "It was a great day out for family and friends which will also help more people beat cancer."

Bitcoin is a form of digital currency that is gaining in popularity. It has become a popular investment option, and people even spend it like real money. But, once something catches on, others try and get in on the action.
Ethereum: This programmable blockchain provides developers with more possibilities for building apps and technologies than Bitcoin.
Ripple: This form of cryptocurrency is quite popular because it provides its users with secure, instant, and almost free global transactions in any size without any chargebacks.
New Economy Movement (NEM): It encourages users to spend their coins, not just invest in them as digital gold.
Litecoin: Coming on the scene not long after Bitcoin, Litecoin was coined as digital silver to Bitcoin's digital gold.
More coins come on the scene nearly every day, but not all of them are as effective as these. Some coins are a tongue-and-cheek response to the cryptocurrency market. Here are a few of them.
Have you seen the meme with the Shiba Inu? It's usually called the Doge meme. There are literally hundreds of iterations of this cute and silly meme, and many of them have gone viral.
The creators of Dogecoin took advantage of this funny meme.
It was initially created as a joke, but so many people liked the idea that it actually hit a market cap of $130 million. But, that doesn't mean it's useful.
Love eating at Burger King? Well, you might want to invest in WhopperCoin.
Released by Burger King Russia, there's no question that cryptocurrency has entered the mainstream. For each ruble spent, customers would receive a WhopperCoin. Collect 1,700 and you can get a free burger.
China may be the biggest user and investor of cryptocurrency, but Russia seems to be enamored with the concept. Not only did they come up with WhopperCoin, Putin Coin was created with Russia's leader in mind.
What is it for? We're not entirely sure, but it has managed to hit a market cap of $2.5 million.
Cryptocurrency creators' humor doesn't stop at memes and Russian presidents. It extends to other famous faces as well. That's the case with Coinye.
This is a true parody coin that was styled after none other than Kanye West. He wasn't too happy about it. He filed a cease-and desist in 2014.
The coin is still around though. The coin's developers solved the problem by creating and even more outrageous logo for the coin, making it even more popular than it was before.
Whether these coins will be worth anything long-term, only the future will tell. But one thing is for certain—the world of cryptocurrency is full of people with a sense of humor.
Try purchasing one of these coins just for fun. At the very least, you can joke about your digital money. And who knows—it could be worth something in the future, if only hypothetically.


It's US-only (for now?) but Apple is pushing its new credit card hard. The company is offering 2 per cent cashback, paid daily, on any purchase made with the card using Apple Pay, and 3 per cent on any purchase made with Apple itself, including the App Store and Apple Music. For purchases made in stores and online that don't take Apple Pay, of which there are a lot, the rate is lower, at 1 per cent. But those figures show how much Apple is willing to pay to make its card a success. For comparison, the best cashback card in the US, according to those who track this sort of thing, is the Citi Double Cash Card, which offers 2 per cent cashback on everything but doesn't drop the fees that Apple has, such as overseas transactions or late payments.
The company's quoted variable APR is quite high. Not as high as some of the competition- the Citi Double Cash Card quotes 15.74 per cent to 25.74 per cent, for example — but still significantly higher than some cards, and certainly higher than most people would expect when offered a low interest rate. Perhaps Apple is hoping to make a profit in this industry from day one.
One reason that the Apple Card is launching in the US is because the country's payment infrastructure is still backwards enough that a tech company can provide impressive progress. Case in point: the shiny titanium card launched by Apple on Monday doesn't have a contactless chip in it. Yes, most places that take contactless payments take Apple Pay, and most people will have their phone with them as often as they have their card with them. But for European banking customers looking across the Atlantic, it's hard to feel Apple's offering is the future.
Apple wasn't afraid of taking side swipes at its competition: Google and Facebook both got tacit criticism, over everything from privacy and security to whether or not you can play games on the tube. So it was a bit surprising to learn the company had partnered with Goldman Sachs, known for its ruthlessness, to launch its card. Chalk it up as a bellwether moment: the era of big banks being the villains of society is over. The era of big tech is here.
Apple Arcade will have exclusive games that won't even be available as normal paid apps.
More than a decade after Apple launched the App Store and essentially created the mobile gaming genre, the company is finally putting real resources behind it. Apple Arcade will be a subscription service, offering exclusive access — on mobile, at least — to more than 100 games. Some will be genuine exclusives. Commissioned by Apple specifically for the Arcade, they won't even be available on the App Store. Others will be less so: Sayonara Wild Hearts, for instance, has already been announced for the Nintendo Switch. The game will be exclusive to iOS in the mobile sector, though, so Android fans may still miss out.
How much has Apple ignored games until now? Consider this: in 2010, the company launched Game Centre, an attempt to take on services such as Microsoft's Xbox Live with its own multiplayer network. It was then largely ignored for six years, until being removed from the homescreen in 2016, preventing users from adding new friends. But Game Centre is still in iOS and remains the only way to sync high scores and achievements. That will surely change in the next version of iOS, due to be released this autumn, just before Arcade arrives.
Video games have been dragged into the fight against addictive technology but to date, the focus has largely been on AAA titles such as Fifa, Fortnite and Battlefront. But the creation of Apple Arcade shows a company aware that one of its big cash cows, free-to-play games such as Clash of Clans, Candy Crush and Clash Royale, could also be swept up in the backlash. Hence the focus on tight experiences with strong narratives and award-winning design. Everything, in other words, that insulates Apple from the allegation of pushing addictive products on vulnerable people for profit.
Over the past week, Apple released multiple products that would typically have taken up space on stage. Two iPads, a speed bump to the iMac and the second version of AirPods all went on sale accompanied by only a press release and tweet from Tim Cook. The release cycle was clearly timed so that they could have time on stage if needed — but instead, Apple filled the whole back half of its press conference with a rotating cast of celebrities, from Steven Spielberg to Oprah Winfrey, all sharing just a bit too much information about their forthcoming shows where just a trailer would have done.
The paper's media bureau chief reports the reason why the Wall Street Journal (subscription: $30 (Dh110 a month) is joining Apple News Plus (subscription: $10 a month) is because "the app will surface stories thought to be appealing to a general interest reader. The thinking is, consumption beyond what's actively surfaced will be limited." In other words, you can read the Journal through Apple News+ but it's going to be so frustrating that you'll probably just pay the extra cash to visit the website if you're a big fan.
Apple News Plus is a relabelled version of Texture, a magazine subscription service the company bought last year, and so that was ready to go. For everything else, from the price of Apple Arcade and Apple TV Plus to the line-up for both, we need to wait until this autumn, when the services will launch.

DENVER—A 200-acre wildfire is burning about 1.5 miles to the west of the Dominguez Campground on federal land near Grand Junction.
The U.S. Bureau of Land Management says the fire isn't threatening the campground or any structures. Forest road No. 418, or the Brett Point Road, is closed, but all other roads are open.
A lightning strike started the fire about four days ago. Fire managers expect the blaze to grow because of the hot weather. Firefighters are working to keep the fire from entering Dominguez Canyon.
Crews continue to fight an 801-acre wildfire in southwest Colorado, about five miles from Norwood. The lightning-sparked fire forced the evacuation of 20 homes Tuesday, but people were allowed to return Thursday.
The fire is 35 percent contained. Full containment is expected Saturday.
