iPad Pro 2018 vs Surface Pro 6: Apple against Microsoft for the tablet 2-in-1 crown
The latest premium hardware from 2018 compared in all the key categories
By David Nield 2018-11-09T09:11:45Z
It's been quite a year for new hardware launches, and here we're going to compare two of the best devices to arrive over the last few months: the Surface Pro 6 from Microsoft and the new iPad Pros from Apple. Which of them is the best value buy for what you need?
There are a lot of similarities to talk about here – both these devices can work as tablets or as 2-in-1s with an attached keyboard, and both support touchscreen input with an official stylus. There are a lot of differences to talk about as well, and we'll lay them all out for you.

iPad Pro 2018 vs Surface Pro 6: the designs
Slim, stylish and modern: a lot of the adjectives you can apply to one of these devices, you can also apply to the other. The iPad Pros got a more noticeable refresh than the Surface Pro 6 this year, but there wasn't much wrong with the Surface Pro design to begin with – and it's now available in black.
There are two iPad Pros to talk about of course: one with a 11-inch, 2,388 x 1,668 pixel, 264 ppi display (measuring 247.6 mm x 178.5 mm x 5.9 mm overall), and one with a 12.9-inch, 2,732 x 2,048 pixel, 264 ppi display (measuring 280.6 mm x 214.9 mm x 5.9 mm overall). The bezels have been shrunk down to a minimum, and the tablets now support Face ID, because there's no longer any Home button.
Compare that to the Surface Pro 6, with its 12.3-inch, 2,736 x 1,824 pixel, 267 ppi display (measuring 292 mm x 201 mm x 8.5 mm overall). That makes the Microsoft slate slightly bigger and slightly thicker than the biggest of the iPad Pros, though it's arguably a more capable computer. If portability is key, maybe go for the smaller iPad Pro.

iPad Pro 2018 vs Surface Pro 6: the specs
The iPad Pros are powered by the super-fast A12X Bionic processor, which Apple says offers twice the graphics performance of the 2017 models, and is up to 90 percent faster at certain tasks than their predecessors. In other words, there's a lot of raw power here, more than enough to handle the most demanding apps and then some.
The Surface Pro 6 comes in a variety of configurations. 8th-gen quad-core Intel i5 and i7 chips sit at the the heart of them, then you get 8GB or 16GB of RAM on top of that. Whether that's enough to beat the iPad Pros in a direct race, well, it really depends what you're trying to do – but as everything on the iPad is designed for stripped-down, mobile use, we'd expect it to feel faster most of the time, even if you're actually doing less.
In terms of storage, your choices are 64GB, 256GB, 512GB or 1TB for the Apple iPad Pro tablets, and 128GB, 256GB, 512GB or 1TB for the Microsoft Surface Pro 6, so pretty similar across the board – note that you will have to pay a lot for those top-end storage sizes, so compare the prices with the cloud storage alternatives.
iPad Pro 2018 vs iPad 2018: which of Apple's new tablets is the best buy?
iPad Pro 2018 vs Surface Pro 6: the features
One of the key differentiators here is of course that the iPad Pros run iOS and the Surface Pro 6 runs Windows 10. iOS is slick and powerful, but ultimately built for mobile (even if full Photoshop is on the way); Windows 10 is a bigger, more bloated desktop OS that can run anything from iTunes to Adobe Illustrator.
Both the iPad Pros and the Surface Pro 6 have front and back cameras that are decent enough. Both work with styluses – the Apple Pencil and the Surface Pen respectively – and both have clip-on keyboard covers made by their respective manufacturers. In terms of ports, the Surface Pro 6 offers a USB 3.0 port, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a Mini DisplayPort socket, whereas the iPad Pros stick with just one USB-C connector.
Apple says you can expect 10 hours of video streaming on the iPad Pros between battery charges, while MIcrosoft says the figure is 13.5 hours for the same scenario on the Surface Pro 6. Oh, and you can unlock both of these devices with your face, if that's something that's important to you.

iPad Pro 2018 vs Surface Pro 6: the verdict
Don't spend too long agonising over the choice if you're thinking about picking up one of these devices – they're both going to serve you very well. Your biggest decision, if you're thinking about picking up one of these devices, is probably between the full Windows 10 and the more mobile-focused iOS: which one has the apps and the performance you need?
Once you've picked an operating system, you'll know which tablet (or 2-in-1) you want to go for. Both the iPad Pros and the Surface Pro 6 have oodles of power, and they're all premium devices that are going to set you back quite a bit – the entry level and top end prices of the iPad Pros are a little higher than the Surface Pro 6 at the moment, which is perhaps worth bearing in mind if you're working to a budget.
Both Apple and Microsoft can be happy with the devices they've released this year, and the iPad Pros for 2018 and the Surface Pro 6 are all evidence of companies getting more confident with their hardware manufacturing. It makes us wonder quite how these pieces of hardware can be improved in 2019.

Loewe Men Fall/Winter 2019 - Playful masculinityWords by Tyler Lea
Loewe Men Fall/Winter 2019
Playful masculinity
For Loewe's menswear Fall/Winter 2019 collection, Jonathan Anderson has tapped rising star photographer Tyler Mitchell to shoot the creative director's vision for its most recent campaign. Styled by Benjamin Bruno for the hardcover lookbook, the shoot takes place against the picturesque backdrop of the Spanish city, Toledo, where the city's rich historical heritage complements Anderson's abstract and youthful interpretation of this season's collection.
Known as the 'City of the Three Cultures', Toledo was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986 for its extensive cultural heritage that includes Christian, Muslim, and Jewish influences. The historic façades of the Piedra del Rey Moro and Museo de Santa Cruz prove to be idyllic locations for the campaign shoot, which features a group of young models in tailored pieces and deconstructed silhouettes. Highlights from the collection, however, are the high zip-up boots and elongated sweaters, sometimes paired with oversized suits as well as studded leather accessories and Marilyn Monroe graphics.
Making a surprise appearance in some images are strange inflatable white and yellow objects. Their abstract volumes offset the stone textures of the rocky surroundings and reconfigure the landscape to create a visual link between the silhouettes and colours of the collection to the natural environment. All in all, the Fall/Winter 2019 collection unites the multiple talents of young creatives who've been revolutionizing their own field.

Yes social networks terms and conditions are a concern, but let's unpack this for a second.
We have terms and conditions for using washing machines and televisions but nobody complains about them.
The real issue is the etiquette of using social networks. Children should be offered that chance of learning what is good and bad practice.
After all, televisions and washing machines all have terms and conditions that we never read, but nobody is complaining about those.
Let us not forget that the BBC is a competitor to social networks and has a vested interest to stand at the side and throw stones. Is this investigative journalism or a cynical snipe at a competitor?
Children may be signing up to apps with terms and conditions that only university students can understand, BBC research reveals.

Rep. Alan Clemmons withdraws name from Horry County administrator finalist list
Rep. Alan Clemmons announces he is withdrawing his name from the Horry County administrator finalist list
By Kristin Nelson | July 8, 2019 at 3:35 PM EDT - Updated July 8 at 3:35 PM
HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) – There is one less name on the list of finalists for the Horry County administrator position.
South Carolina state Rep. Alan Clemmons announced that he has withdrawn his name from the list of candidates.
"I am honored to have been chosen by Horry County Council as a finalist in the search process for filling the open Horry County Administrator position," Clemmons said in a statement. "While the process was engaging and respectful, after considerable reflection, I've decided for personal reasons to withdraw my name from Council's consideration. I have great affection for Horry County and respect for her elected leaders. I look forward to continued partnership with those leaders as we work together to make our county a great place in which to live and raise our families!"
Horry County Council held a special meeting two weeks ago, where they went into executive session and interviewed five candidates.
The finalists that remain on the list are Steve Gosnell, who was appointed as the interim administrator in April after former administrator Chris Eldridge was relieved of his duties. He previously served as the county's assistant administrator.
Also on the candidate list is Wayne Gray, who served on the Myrtle Beach City Council for four terms but did not seek re-election in 2017.
The two other candidates are William "Jon" Caime, the county administrator for Laurens County, and York County Manager William Shanahan.
Council will select their next administrator during their next regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday.

1. Let's say PartA.SLDPRT is in the EPDM vault and has a custom property called "Description". Is there any way to get the value of Description through an external program? For example, could a third party program read that value directly out of the vault database?
2. I am writing a program that has to open up many models (located in the vault) and do some work on them. The program will be running on a different computer than the vault server. What needs to happen for my program to be able to see those vault files in order to open them and process them? Is it as simple as getting a universal file path? Or do I need some EPDM client on the server to get the path?
I hope I explained my problem adequately but if not then I am happy to elaborate. Thank you for your time.
You need to access all of the meta data info from the SQL Server database. If you don't know the data structure, then you're going to have a difficult time even getting the Description for the part depending on its version and configuration. EPDM does provide API to get to some of this (I'm not familiar it to answer intelligently), but if you're using an external tool, you'll have to access the SQL Server database.
I would use the API to do this. It will require you to set up a local vault view on the computer running the program. However, IMHO it is a lot easier to get the variable value than trying to get the information from several tables in the database.
I wrote a VB program using the EPDM API that opens a spreadsheet, reads the part number, searches the vault for the part number and changes the description. Attached is a snip of the code you might be able to use. To get the "Description" you would use GetVar rather than SetVar. Use at your own risk.
Thanks everyone for your help. Steve, I'll try some of your code.

Yet More Relics of the Old Palace
28 November 2013 By Caroline Shenton
I blogged this time last year about the snuff boxes made from salvaged wood from the old Palace which still occasionally turn up at antique dealers, and early in 2013 about the mysterious ornaments made from stonework of St Stephen's for the delight of antiquaries. Now I'm thrilled to report that this week I acquired two pieces of fabric from the old Palace for myself.
The first object I've treated myself to is another snuffbox, smaller than the previous ones I blogged about, but perfectly formed. Made from oak again, its little silver label is inscribed 'Painted Chamber | 1834 | Oct 16th'.
That makes three snuff boxes that I know about from the Painted Chamber, and just one from the House of Commons (formerly St Stephen's Chapel). This isn't obviously a robust statistical sample, and the prevalence of Painted Chamber wood may just be a co-incidence. On the other hand, the Painted Chamber had a very large and famous wooden ceiling before the fire, so perhaps more fragments survived there than from St Stephen's, or an enterprising woodturner took away a particularly large timber to work on. There's only one way to find out, and that is for anyone else with a snuffbox from the old Houses of Parliament to get in touch with me to help test out my theory – please.
The Painted Chamber in 1799, by William Capon showing its famous ceiling.
In the final chapter of The Day Parliament Burned Down I described how:
Other relic hunters could make their way to Mr Doubleday's in Little Russell Street near the British Museum. There, two kinds of souvenir of the old Palace were on sale. The first were oak boxes made from a beam under the Painted Chamber, each inset with a brass escutcheon made from a melted brass chandelier from the House of Lords. The discerning could also obtain an oval seal cast from lead allegedly from St Stephen's roof, and displaying the figure of St Stephen, with canons of the college praying before him and the Virgin Mary and St John. (p247)
I now am the very proud owner of such a lead medallion. It's about the size of a dessertspoon bowl, and cast just as described above. On the right hand side is a small 'eye' to allow it to be threaded – I assume – onto a chain to act as a watchfob or similar, and it is no surprise that Doubledays dealt in casts of old seals and greek coins, presumably for just such a purpose. The obverse shows the figures described above, and sure enough, the reverse is inscribed:
SEAL | ST. STEPHEN'S | CHAPEL | WESTMINSTER | CAST FROM LEAD | TAKEN OUT OF THE | RUINS OF THE FIRE | OF THE NIGHT OF THURSDAY | OCTOBER 16 1834 |
J. DOUBLEDAY | DEALER IN | CASTS OF OLD SEALS | GREEK COINS | 18 LITTLE RUSSELL STREET | BLOOMSBURY. | LONDON.
These two objects popped up independently but within a day of each other, much to my amazement (perhaps like buses they come in threes after a long wait…so I'm still hoping for a third offer any time soon). The snuffbox came from a dealer who had googled and found this site after puzzling over the inscription on the box. So please, do get in touch if there is more memorabilia out there – I would love to hear about it.

Alabama football fans thank Bryce Young for delivering time after time | Goodbread
Chase Goodbread
The Tuscaloosa News
With a minute or so to go in the Alabama football team's 49-27 Iron Bowl win over Auburn Saturday, with the Tigers offense driving to try and tighten the score of a lost outcome, a rousing ovation shook Bryant-Denny Stadium at a decibel level one would expect for a home-team touchdown.
Extra loud, with loud sauce and a side of more loud.
Nothing on the field merited any such thing.
I got half a question out − "What's all this …" − when my eyes met one of BDS' massive 30x67-foot video boards. There he was, Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, celebrating the victory amid a roar that fan bases reserve for only the most beloved players. He acknowledged the crowd with a mile-wide smile, the kind that players reserve for only the most fulfilling of college careers.
He did it again as he left the field, surrounded by media and well-wishers rolling video with their cellphones, capturing what was almost certainly his final exit from BDS as a player. He blew a kiss to the upper reaches of the stadium, touched a fist to his heart and waved one last time as he entered the tunnel. The 2023 NFL draft awaits, assuming the former Heisman Trophy winner declares early eligibility for it, and Young's ability to throw accurately and extend plays will make him a coveted target of pro general managers.
As their scouts dive into tape of the junior, they'll quickly realize he was the glue for a team that needed as much glue as it could get.

ALABAMA CAREER OVER?:If Iron Bowl was Bryce Young's curtain call, Alabama football QB deserved to take a bow
ALABAMA REPORT CARD:Alabama football grades vs. Auburn: Unpacking Crimson Tide's Iron Bowl rout
When the defense struggled, Young didn't.
When the running game sputtered, Young wouldn't.
When penalties moved the Alabama offense backward, nobody did more than Young to push it forward for an unlikely first down.
And at crunch time, with games on the line in the fourth quarter, Young came through win or lose.
When UA posted a season-low 20 points at Texas, it was Young who saved the day with a 20-yard scramble to set up Will Reichard's game-winning field goal. He'd done his part in the Crimson Tide's loss to Tennessee, too, driving UA into field goal range for a potential game-winner with 15 seconds remaining. And even on the night when he was just off − not nearly as accurate as usual in completing 25 of 51 passes against LSU − he led his team on three fourth-quarter scoring drives, then helmed an overtime touchdown, only to be left helpless on the sideline to watch the Tigers score a two-point conversion to win it.
About the only time Alabama wasn't able to count on Young was in a 24-20 win over Texas A&M that he missed with a shoulder injury. Even then, he was as present as a player without a uniform can be, first on the field to greet backup quarterback Jalen Milroe after a touchdown. He missed practices even after gaining medical clearance to return to game action, managing his recovery while delivering on Saturdays.
"I'm sure he played with a little pain at times, which shows the kind of mental toughness he has," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "The guy is a great competitor, he's got great grit, and I can't say enough about what he's done for our team this year."
What he's done commands respect.
What he's done pulled a team together that at times appeared to be on the brink of coming apart.
What he's done probably won't ever fully get the credit it deserves. It gets full credit here.

Houston Hispanic Coalition: "We're not going to stop protesting"
In the latest edition of The Final Call, the cover story focuses on the national debate over the recent immigration laws passed in Arizona. Also looking ahead with the question being asked: Who are the next targets?
In part, National Correspondent Charlene Muhammad writes:
"The fall out over passage of an anti-immigration law in Arizona continued across the United States this week with people wondering is America being reduced to a nation "for Whites only?"
Under Operation Wetback, the U.S. Border Patrol found more than one million undocumented immigrants when they raided Mexican American barrios in Southeastern states in 1954. They sought identification from "Mexican-looking" citizens they stopped on the streets and ultimately, many immigrants were deported and many others fled the U.S.
Now history is repeating itself and without swift, strategic action, opponents of the bill argued, its negative profiling implications could permeate America's entire infrastructure, including the Prison Industrial Complex, and its health care and education systems, for starters."
Alongside her wonderful reporting, I contributed a small portion to this cover story to highlight the moves being made on the grounds here in Houston by a coalition of Hispanic organizations. I interviewed Michael Espinoza, the lead organizer for Houston's SEIU Justice for Janitors group.
"On May 5, nearly 100 members of various Hispanic organizations protested outside the Major League Baseball (MLB) game featuring the Houston Astros versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. This is part of an on-going movement to oppose the recent immigration bill passed in Arizona and to send the message, "Not in our backyard," to Texas lawmakers.
"The SB1070 is legalized racial profiling and we are 100 percent opposed to it," Michael Espinoza told The Final Call."
Did you know that amidst the debate of the Arizona immigration bill, Republican lawmaker Debbie Riddle of Tomball, Texas is planning to introduce a tough immigration bill for Texas that will parallel the controversial new laws in Arizona?

ANC presidential campaign managers punt their candidates
Saturday 26 August 2017 - 8:29am
ANC President Jacob Zuma at the ANC's 5th National Policy Conference in Johannesburg, Gauteng
JOHANNESBURG - Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa are considered the front-runners in the race for ANC Presidency, but there are other candidates working hard to convince members to support them in a bid for the party's top job.

The presidential campaign managers for Mathews Phosa, Jeff Radebe, and Baleka Mbete addressed a dinner organised by the Xubera Institute in Durban on Friday.
They attempted to persuade the public to follow their candidate, stating the ANC needs someone to unify the organisation.

While there have been no official nominations, the campaigns for the Presidential hopefuls are in full swing.
According to Khulu Mbongo, Radebe's campaign manager, "He (Radebe) embodies the values across the movement broadly. It was not by purely accident that he got elected into those positions, he got elected because he stand for particular values, values of integrity, values of discipline, value of collective leadership, this is what comrade Jeff stands for."

A major stumbling block for the ANC, both internally and externally, has been President Jacob Zuma's questionable relationship with the Gupta family.
Some party MPs even voted in favour of a motion of no confidence against the President in August.
One of the candidates is urging members to be cautious when choosing the governing party's next leader.
Andile Lily, Phosa's campaign manager, says: "When it comes to the issue of credibility as to who we are supporting, are we really putting individuals that are respected in the society or are we merely rubber stamping decisions taken by business individuals?"

Unity will be key for anyone who is going to woo the ANC's various branches.
Campaign managers appealed to candidates not to attack each other in public.

"Don't campaign against the name of another candidate - that's just ugly. Push your own course, you can say, especially women. This is the preferred candidate we want, but don't say the other woman candidate must step aside," said Mbete's campaign manager, Thamsanqa Mali.

The sunlight is so crisp this morning that you can see at the same time both the warmth and ice that is still in the air. These are the type of morning that has people out heading to work with that little extra spring in their step. Sitting here where I spend nearly 80% of my waking hours, I have a clear view across the living room, though the bay at the sky and the flats opposite. My husband is one of life's nosy people and he frequently blocks my view as he has to know what is happening in his street. We are so different when it comes to windows, our attitudes are like chalk and cheese. I can hear now a question of what is she talking about, different about windows? Well let me explain…..
Looking at house design, it is clear that most people want and have loads of large windows in their homes. I have seen too many design programs were they go on about light flooding in, beautiful views and window dressing or stranger to me, lack of them, yet I still find myself lost by the whole thing. If someone came along and offered to brick up all the windows in my house, I would be grateful. Windows to me are a constant problem and a constant irritation. This isn't something new, I haven't been that taken by them for as long as I can remember.
To me they are something I can almost see the point of in Summer but in Winter, they are pointless. No matter if you have double glazing, you still loose heat through glass far more quickly than the walls. The hours of day light in Scotland totals around 6 and I sleep 2 of them. I find opening or closing large heavy curtains a painful process, even using the cord to open the blinds causes incredible pain in my arms. Adam now asks each morning if he is to open the living room ones or not, he never opens the rest any longer. With him not being home before dark the closing would be down to me and I'd rather not have the pain involved. Adam would never shut the curtains if it was down to him. He doesn't feel the cold and if they are shut he is sure he is missing something, what I don't know, this is the Southside of Glasgow, not much happens here!
In the Summer the idea of windows on the surface seems a good one but equally has it's own problem. Sunshine like this morning is pretty enough in itself, but as that sun moves, there are huge periods of time where you have to shut the curtains or blinds as it is blinding. So again they become pointless. Then there is the fact the stupid things open! Fresh air, what fresh air, again this is the Southside of Glasgow, where is the fresh air? All I get is car fumes and noise, should it be winter then add in frozen!
Then there is the killer nail. Windows are made of glass, a substance that by it's nature have to be clean, not just wiped over, they have to be clean both inside and out. Any dirt or smudges those objects we install to bring in light, become highly annoying and something that ranks close to cleaning the oven on the list of hated jobs. I strongly vote for there banishment into room 101. So were has this rant come from, as I said it's sunny and guess what my windows need cleaned. Can you get maids or brickies on the NHS?
This entry was posted in chronic illness and tagged emotions, Housebound, MS, Multiple Sclerosis, pain by livinginalimitedword. Bookmark the permalink.
I love big windows but have to agree they are such a pain to clean. And I rarely close curtains but our sitting room is upstairs and the only room people can see into is the dining room so it isn't a problem.
Wouldn't the Swish Autoglide track system to automatically open your curtains for you be of a benefit? I'm sure if your husband isn't your full time carer and you need help opening the curtains – you should be entitled?
Another chalk and cheese situation. Sorry but curtains need to be shut at night, something old fashioned I expect, probably pre-double glazing, but it just doesn't feel right having them open when it's dark.
I never even think about closing them these days. We have blinds in the bedroom and they are closed so that daylight doesn't intrude too early but that is as far as we go!
Interesting points, I'd not like to live in a home without windows.
I hope that Glasweigan window cleaners are less greedy than one who operates here, who charges £12.50, and a pound more if he thinks it's a 'second home'.
Which this house isn't, and it's not very big either !

Terri Schiavo's Husband Responds to Gov. Bush's Appeal
By Partick Duong ( [email protected] ) Oct 14, 2004 09:28 PM EDT Comment
The husband of Terri Schiavo submitted papers on Monday, Oct. 11 with the Florida Supreme Court asking it to reject Governor Jeb Bush's effort to seek another hearing regarding Terri's law.
The measure, passed by the state legislature, allowed Gov. Bush to ask doctors to reinsert Terri's feeding tube, preventing a painful starvation death.
Florida's high court ruled unanimously on August 31, 2004 that "Terri's law" was unconstitutional.
The 30-page ruling, written by Chief Justice Barbara Pariente, said the Florida legislature improperly delegated power to the governor and the "Terri's law" violated the separation of powers between the judicial, legislative and executive branches of the state government.
An attorney for Bush filed a motion last week asking the Supreme Court to rehear the case.
In a court filing Monday, Michael Schiavo's lawyer, George Felos, called Bush's arguments for a rehearing "meritless" and urged the court to stick by its ruling.
"The governor's motion represents simply another attempt to delay effectuation of Mrs. Schiavo's right to decide her own medical treatment," the filing said, according to an Associated Press report.
The Florida Supreme Court has not said when it would rule on the request.


When you're young (and wild and free, as a song goes) like me, life is nothing less than an adventure.
You get to work on your goals—achieving natural weight loss, staying fit and healthy, landing on the top of your career, enjoying every moment you get. You get to dream up all sorts of bucket lists—foods you have got to eat, places you should see, and stuff you have to do before you get married. That's what makes our 20s so exciting, wouldn't you agree? And that's precisely why I love my age.
On a personal note, I have made a bucket list of places I should set foot on before I reach the ripe age of 30. And yes, I've given myself a timeframe to keep my financial efforts on point. Topping my bucket list is, of course, Paris and its famous Eiffel Tower. I know Paris is so cliché but hey, you can't blame a die-hard romantic for having that dream. Also on my bucket list are the canals of Venice. Ah, that part where I get to enjoy a view of Venice from a majestic gondola I could now picture out. But, enough of my dreams. I want to know about you.
Do you have a list of must-see places too?
If you don't have one yet, it's time that you make one! Really, you shouldn't allow yourself to miss out on all the fun of travelling, especially at a time when your body will still allow you to do so. If that doesn't convince you yet, then maybe my list of reasons for travelling will inspire you to grab a pen and make your travel list.
At our age, we often find ourselves asking, "Who am I?" I've asked myself that question a lot of times too and I have to admit that my years have not yet given me all the answers I need. However, when you travel, you get to force yourself to reveal aspects of your personality that Time has not yet allowed you to see. When circumstances force you into a rut and your travel plans are not going the way you planned it to; when you find yourself in unexpected travel situations; that is when you will get to see who you really are.
Before you hit the road towards your destination, you have only seen part of the world—just your side of the world. But once you travel, you get to see a whole lot more. You get to experience the richness of other cultures. You get to try seeing things from the perspective of others whose backgrounds differ from yours. You get to broaden the way you think about things and understand more about life.
You see, travelling is not merely about the stunning photos that you take or the breathtaking places that you see. When you travel, you get a taste of independence, which grants you the opportunity to grow into emotional maturity. When you go out into a different part of the world, you can't help but improve your social skills as you try to communicate with people who come from different walks of life.
You can't help but become a better person.
Whether it's the superb culinary feast you have revelled on to the awe-inspiring architectural sites you've seen on your trip, there's always something about your travel that would make it an unforgettable one. You can be sure that many years after you have ventured to another part of the world, you will still be able to look back fondly on all your memories. Just think about the tales you will tell your future grandchildren. Think of how their faces will light up with eagerness as you tell them of your harrowing travels and breathtaking journeys!
Nothing heals stress better than allowing your body time to relax and unwind in a different place.
Why make do with your routine and endure the boredom when you could spice up your life with an exciting getaway?
Spending your weekend someplace else to break the monotony of your schedule is definitely going to be worth the expense. I tell you; getting to enjoy a scenic view other than that of your office desk will make you thankful you took your chance at travelling.
In the end, everything that we do in life is for the sake of giving us a measure of happiness. Travelling is the best way for you to experience the purest form of joy. Ask any traveller, and they will tell you just how each of the journeys they have made was a dream come true. Their tales could, one day, be yours too, and it's best if you get to experience it early when you do not have many responsibilities to hold you back from travelling.
So, really, if you ask me why you should travel, I'll tell you this: Why not? Dare to experience the thrill of travelling and you'll understand why.
Travel with YOGASCAPES. Check out the list of our current trip offerings here.

Many researches have proven now that people with eating disorders derive a lot of benefits from doing meditation. Eating disorder sufferers have disturbances in autonomic nervous system, problems with impulse control and many emotional problems. All these can be improved with regular meditation.
You see, human beings are made up of three components—physical, mental and emotional. You can think of it as like a triangle with the same length sides. To correct eating disorders all the sides of triangle have to be balanced.
The Mental side represents the knowledge people learn about their condition and how to cope with it. The physical side represents the natural strength of a person's body which we inherit from parents. The Emotional side of the triangle is the one which always becomes unstable in people with eating disorders.
That's why eating disorders sufferers have very bad mood swings, uncontrollable negative thoughts, long-standing bad feelings and painful sensations in different parts of the body that they try to moderate with food (obsessive eating or abstaining from food).
Emotional strengthening is the key to curing many eating disorder problems. Meditation and relaxation techniques are great strategies to do for emotional strengthening in order to become healthy again.
In order to understand about emotional strengthening, you first need to understand a bit about how the brain works. You're probably aware that our brains work across a range of different levels or brain-wave frequencies. While the range is actually continuous, it is divided for convenience into 4 categories—beta, alpha, theta and delta.
As adults, we spend most of our waking time in the beta area. Beta is where we do our logical thinking, rationalising and planning. Stress also occurs in the beta wavelength but on high frequencies beta waves. Eating disorder sufferers spend nearly all their time on high frequencies beta waves where the problem lies.
Alpha, on the other hand, while still an "awake" state, is that relaxed, day-dreamy state that you can go into when you are doing something creative (eg, painting, knitting) or meditation. It's the time when your mind just wanders freely, and when time just seems to fly by.
Alpha-experience represents a relatively stress-free and euphoric state of being. For eating disorder sufferers the alpha state helps to balance their autonomic nervous system and correct impulse control problems.
Now here's another important piece of the puzzle—besides containing our feelings and emotions, the alpha (sub-conscious) state also contains our "self-beliefs". Our self-beliefs are the sub-conscious view you have of yourself (the real you), they drive our behaviour at a sub-conscious level. They are similar to the programs you have on your computer that makes it run.
So if, for example you have a self-belief that says "I am bulimic or I am a binge eater or anorexic", the behaviour that results is that you perform compulsive eating, binge or starve yourself actions. This becomes the real you even if you consciously don't want to become that person.
Where do self-beliefs come from? Mostly they develop in us at a very young age up to when we are teenagers. These self beliefs go through many developmental stages throughout our lives. It's interesting to note that, unlike adults, children spend the majority of their waking time in the alpha region and this is why they are so resilient.
Most of our adult behaviours are based on "programming" we picked up before the age of 7. Many eating disorder sufferers picked up their programming when they where youngsters to teenagers.
When it comes to getting results, your self-belief (programming) will always win out over your conscious desire. So it does not matter if you get up every morning swearing that you will eat today, or you will not binge, but by the end of the day you have not done what you said you will do. This is because you are in the beta state and this can not affect the subconscious mind, so you are doomed from the start.
That's why it seems impossible for many people to stop their eating disorders. But the problem is that they try to fight it with their logical conscious mind, being in a beta state, not an alpha state.
What happens if you target an eating disorder from the alpha state?
Well, you will get a completely different result. Being in alpha state you will target the emotional core of the eating disorders self-beliefs. When sufferers start to change their self-beliefs then the magic occurs: then they can be cured from their eating problems.
Specific meditation which target people's self-beliefs can create a real magic in the sufferers life. For eating disorder sufferers who put themselves in an alpha state while meditating regularly, means they can stop their disorder for good.
If the sufferer is only ever in a beta state this probably means they will have their disorder for the rest of their life, with no escape.
It has been proven that meditation brings enormous relieve for the eating disorder sufferer who starts to add meditation into their treatment methods.
But a word of warning, not any old meditation method will do, it has to be a system that is purposely target anorexia or bulimia or other eating disorders. It is necessary because eating disorder sufferers have specific self-beliefs (or subconscious blockages) which they must eliminate during meditation (when they are in alpha state) in order to get better.
Generic meditation which does not target specific eating disorder beliefs will work little for ED people. It will only help for stress relief and calm you down which are also beneficial things.

SJV– This week we are going to learn a lot about SJV as they take on SADDLE DAY RIVER. A team many believe is the best in the state. Until somebody knocks SJV off they are still the team to beat. They don't pad stats so Jada Bonner and crew don't get the individual hype.
ST. ROSE – Nationally ranked Christian Academy got the same thing St. Rose has given to everyone else…a beating. They are the hottest and most disrespected team in the country right now…there ranked #271 in the country…LOL. and being asked to play the 10.30 game at a showcase this weekend…REALLY?
MANASQUAN – Lola Mullaney stats this year are equal or better than Dara Mabrey's from a year ago. So why not the same attention? For same reason as her team..they've been under the radar.
RBC- They play St. Rose tonight and that could get ugly if they are not careful. They play Franklin Sunday and that could get ugly. The young Casey's are up against it this week. Survival may be the name of the game right now. Sabino has been off the charts.
RUMSON FAIR HEAVEN – Are you asking the same question I am? How do they keep doing it. Coach Callahan has done another amazing coaching job. His team jumped all over Marlboro this past weekend. They blew out the states #16 team Marlboro. Lucy Adams had a double double with 17 points and 17 rebounds. But the real story was baby Charlie Rosen's 12 points and 6 rebounds in the win…Grace Munt is out and that's a serious issue.
TOMS RIVER EAST– There have let there playing do the talking. They ran A SOUTH favorite out the gym last week and then took out Top 20 and A SOUTH leader TOMS RIVER NORTH. Kamryn Lister and Jordyn have set the stage for an exciting finish. Both have been sensational this season.
MARLBORO- they had a uneventful week and continue to press, trap, sub and shoot three's. They are Ranked #16 in the state and that ranking should rise. Geiselle Romeo has been the back backbone of the team. But freshman Danielle Schlesinger has been a mega surprise all season. The freshman is averaging 9 points game. This week they get upstart Howell who is 8-1 and looking to make a statement.
TOMS RIVER NORTH- it was a nightmare week for TRN. First they lost to rival TRE. Then lost to unranked Norte Dame. There role players and babies may have hit a wall. Then throw in the fact most of the team was sick vs Notre Dame and you got a team hanging on for dear life at #10.
His team did a number on #16 Marlboro and once again he has RFH looking like a team that is very dangerous. He is doing all this playing a insane schedule.
Spin it any way you want. Right now Lucy Adams has a serious case for 1st Team ALL SHORE. She had 17 points and 17 rebounds against #16 Marlboro. It's been like this all year.
Best team in the state?
St. ROSE- This time they blow out nationally ranked powerhouse National Christian Academy. They have a case as the best team in the state.
← CHARLIE ROSEN…READY WHEN YOU ARE!!


The kitchen was initially a heaven for the female population. However, men are learning to cook as well and as a result, the kitchen today is a heaven for every person. Therefore, it is not surprising that many people want their kitchen to be decorated in the best way possible. Kitchen renovations can turn an old and simple kitchen into a modular and classy room. However, doing all the upgrades on your own can be a tedious and hectic process. This is why hiring professionals to take care of your kitchen renovation would be the best course of action. Therefore, here are the three reasons that should encourage you to hire a professional for your kitchen remodel.
Remodeling your kitchen is not going to be a one-day affair. It can take up to several weeks. Many things need to be done. The raw materials need to be gathered, the old kitchen structure needs to be removed, and the new structure needs to be set up. You can decide to take one or two days off to ensure that progress is being made with the renovation. Nevertheless, it will not be enough to oversee the completion of the entire process. This is why you need a professional who will take up most of these responsibilities and save you a lot of time. Additionally, the experience of the professional will make the process of renovation much faster.
Besides, professionals know the vendors that offer the best products within your price range. Therefore, a professional will save you a lot of money and energy by the end of the renovation. Moreover, trying to complete your kitchen renovation on your own is a hectic process. In most cases, people fail to complete the process and hire a professional. This costs them unnecessary charges that they can avoid by starting the process with the help of a professional.
Whether it is outside or inside your residential property, you are required to get a permit for any new construction before you start work on your project. Trying to get that permit might prove to be a hassle. However, a professional who has worked in construction for years is well versed with the terms as well as the authorities that are responsible for handing out the permits. Therefore, a professional can get any paperwork completed faster because they know the exact person to contact and the paperwork that needs to be submitted. Additionally, the experience and knowledge gained throughout the years will allow a professional to get approval for your kitchen renovation in a short period.
Also, a professional contractor knows the products and the materials that you need for the renovation. Therefore, they will ensure that everything you are using during the renovation process adds value to your investment. Besides, if you are on a budget, a professional will outline all the available options and come up with a final process that is less stressful and worrisome for you. Additionally, a professional will sort through all your ideas and objectives for the remodel and come up with the best implementation plan based on their expertise. Hence, you will have access to informed decisions throughout the remodeling process.
One of the most important benefits of having a professional to remodel your kitchen is that it takes the stress away from you. Since someone else will be taking care of the entire renovation process, you can relax and have peace of mind knowing that everything is taken care of. A professional will remove the burden of doing the legwork on the many hectic tasks that are associated with remodeling a kitchen. Your only responsibility will be to choose the elements that you want occupying your space. The professional will materialize your vision into reality.
These three reasons are not new to you; you know them, but you still forget them. Other times you choose to ignore them and decide to face the task of remodeling your kitchen on your own. However, leave your kitchen renovation burden to professionals. They are experts in their field, and they will make your dream a reality efficiently and effectively while you relax.

Home/US-Ghana Defence Deal: Akufo-Addo Addresses Ghana
US-Ghana Defence Deal: Akufo-Addo Addresses Ghana
There are high expectations ahead of President Akufo-Addo's nationwide address Thursday night on the controversial Ghana-US defence cooperation agreement.
The address, which will break his long silence on the matter, is expected to clarify begging issues which critics have referenced to back their arguments that the deal is a selloff and an affront to Ghana's sovereignty.
As part of the agreement, the US forces will have unfettered access to certain key security and other installations as well as diplomatic immunity while the US government is also expected to spend $20 million in training and supplying equipment for the Ghana Armed Forces. Ghana is also expected to bear the cost for securing US military facilities in the country, according to the ratified agreement.

Also, Clause 3 of Article 2 of the Agreement states: "United States forces may undertake the following types of activities in Ghana: training; transit:support and related activities; refueling of aircraft; landing and recovery of aircraft, accommodation of personnel; communications; staging and deploying of forces and materiel: exercises; humanitarian and disaster relief; and other activities as mutually agreed."
Last week, Minority MPs joined a demonstration by a coalition of opposition parties led by the NDC and some pressure groups in Accra demanding the return of the ratified agreement to Parliament for a thorough review.
But government spokespersons including the Defence Minister maintain the US is not building a military base and it's not too different from previous ones signed by then Mahama Administration in 2015 and in 1998 when Jerry John Rawlings was in power.
Minority's Expectation
The Minority in parliament believes the acceptance of the agreement depicts leadership failure in the country because the president should have consulted experts in the field of security matters before bringing it to parliament.
Ranking Member on the Foreign Affairs Committee in Parliament, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, who wrote an 'open letter' to the President on the issue, hopes a clear message has been sent to the President which he will listen.

The former deputy Education Minister, who spoke to XYZ News' Kenneth Awotwe Darko noted that apart from allaying fears in Ghanaians which is expected of the president, Nana Akufo-Addo "should be talking about creating forum where he can engage key stakeholders and former presidents who have expressed concerns about this agreement."
He said there have been more " elucidating and insightful articles" which have been written by experts which he expects the president to look at, create a forum to hear Ghanaians and also "set a stage for renegotiating the agreement."
The North Tongu MP continued that" I cam predict that if the president does not do these and he adapts a very defensive and adamant posture tonight when he addresses the country, I doubt if his address will go a long way to help matters."
He maintained that the president should have "exercised good leadership and good judgment when the agreement was made public.

It's been another busy year for the Christchurch newsroom with some of New Zealand's biggest stories over the past 12 months coming out of Canterbury and the West Coast, the areas covered by the team.
Ashburton was rocked in September by news there had been a shooting at the Work and Income office and that a manhunt was underway for the masked man who had opened fire with a sawn off shotgun.
After a seven-hour-long search, Russell John Tully was arrested and charged with the murder of WINZ workers Peggy Noble and Leigh Cleveland and the attempted murders of their colleagues, Lindy Curtis and Kim Adams.
Mr Tully had been turned down for social housing in Ashburton and had been sleeping in a tent in the town's domain.
He's yet to face trial.
The port town of Lyttelton has also had a tough year due to three deaths of workers loading or shifting cargo.
Worksafe New Zealand labelled the deaths unacceptable.
Lyttelton Port chief executive Peter Davie copped flak for accepting a $200,000 pay rise, despite the deaths, taking his pay to $1.24 million for the year.
This prompted a call by the union representing port workers for him to pay the money back.
Mr Davie's pay wasn't the only focus of attention with Rob Jamieson, the chief executive of council-owned lines company Orion, under fire for a 30 percent pay rise, taking his pay for the year to $730,000.
This was soon after the company announced an 8 percent increase in lines charges to take account of the costs of repairing earthquake-damaged infrastructure.
In early December, the Christchurch City Council announced shares in both Lyttelton Port and Orion could be up for sale as it tried to get on top of an expected $1.2 billion shortfall in its budget due to the expense of the rebuild and less money than expected coming from insurance claims.
Radio New Zealand broke the news in May that the move was on the cards when it was shown part of the Cameron Partners report that said asset sales could net the council $1.4 billion.
Another Radio New Zealand exclusive in May came with news the Department of Labour did not have a co-ordinated position on the removal of asbestos from earthquake-damaged homes, two years after repairs had been started.
A report obtained under the Official Information Act showed continuing concerns about the sealing of asbestos behind gib board with no register being kept of where this work had been carried out.
Medical Officer of Health Alistair Humphrey said this ran the risk of future home owners not being aware of the existence of the highly toxic material and cutting into it while carrying out renovations.
Another consequence of the earthquakes is slumped land leading to increased flooding.
An area known as the Flockton Basin, which has been subjected to repeated flooding over the past three years, has been given hope in the shape of a $48 million project aimed at getting on top of the problem.
It involves a pump station and a diversion channel to draw flood waters away from the area with work due to start by the middle of next year.
The 2011 earthquake continues to cast a shadow over the city in other ways too.
David Harding, the man who designed the CTV Building (which collapsed, killing 115 people), and Alan Reay, the man who employed him, escaped censure by their professional body by resigning from it.
The families of some of those who died had their hopes raised somebody might be held accountable for the tragedy when police announced in September they would investigate the collapse.
In November, the man put in charge of running the organisation driving the Government's response to the earthquakes made a shock announcement he was resigning due to a complaint of sexual harassment.
Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) chief executive Roger Sutton said he was standing down and that he was sorry for calling women 'honey' and 'sweetie' and engaging in inappropriate hugging.
Roger Sutton's boss - Earthquake Recovery Minister and then-Minister for Transport Gerry Brownlee - was also found to have overstepped the mark, when he and two staff members by-passed security at Christchurch Airport while boarding a flight.
He said he was disappointed with himself and insisted he was not trying to seek preferential treatment.
Christchurch was again gripped by the case of Helen Milner, dubbed the 'Black Widow' in February when she came up for sentencing after being found guilty of poisoning her husband, Philip Nesbit, in order to benefit from his life insurance payout.
She was sent to prison for a minimum of 17 years.
It was another tough year for the West Coast.
After a start was finally made early in the year on trying to re-enter the Pike River mine to recover the bodies of the 29 men who died there, bad news came in November when the mine's owner, Solid Energy, said it would be too dangerous to do so.
Some of the families have vowed to fight on to see their loved ones remains returned to them.
Further north in Westport, record low prices for coal continued to bite leading to 187 job losses at the Stockton mine.
This followed news Bathurst Resources was delaying what would have been the country's second largest open-cast coal mine at Denniston.
The mine was seen as a lifeline for Westport which now faces losing a generation as young people look further afield for work.
The country's largest ever fraud trial, involving former South Canterbury Finance chief executive Lachie McLeod and two directors, Bob White and Edward Sullivan, dragged on for five months at the High Court in Timaru.
Lachie McLeod and Bob White were cleared of all charges and Edward Sullivan was convicted of five charges for which he received 12 months home detention and 400 hours community work.
In sentencing Sullivan, Justice Heath said he was the victim of misguided loyalty to the company's former chairman, the late Allan Hubbard.
Meanwhile, 2015 is shaping up to be another big year as the Christchurch City Council consults on its plan to sell off $550 million worth of shares in council-owned assets.
Convincing Cantabrians this is a good move could be tough, given a council survey found most were opposed to selling off assets.
Progress on the rebuild should be more evident with the $53 million bus interchange and the $89 million Avon River upgrade due to be completed, and work due to start on the Metro Sports Facility and the Convention Centre.

When There's A Will, There's A Way: The Impact of Temporary Legislation Regarding Wills in Light of COVID-19
The spread of COVID-19 has been an unprecedented challenge for all Canadians and has significantly impacted most aspects of everyday life. This crisis has also sparked an interest in creating and amending one's Will. However, the social distancing requirements designed to protect Canadians have created a new challenge in creating and amending Wills, which the provincial government has attempted to address through newly-enacted legislation. Even with legislative changes intended to assist Canadians, time can only tell whether significant Estate Litigation will result from the relaxation of procedural safeguards intended to protect the interests and rights of testators.
Historically, legislation governing the creation and amendment of Wills required the presence of two witnesses. These witnesses would acknowledge the signature of the maker of the Will, also known as a "testator", would both sign the Will, and acknowledge the signature of the other witness. While the legislation does not explicitly indicate that the witnesses must be physically present, this is how the legislation was traditionally interpreted. This creates an unexpected challenge due to the current social distancing requirements. How can a Will be created or amended, when witnesses can no longer be physically present?
Not all Wills have to be witnessed. An alternative option is to create and sign a handwritten Will, also called a 'holograph Will'. As long as the holograph Will is entirely handwritten and signed by the testator, it can be deemed valid without the signature of a witness. However, a holograph Will is not always a viable option; for example, where a testator is unable to read or write, or when a testator wishes to address complex estate matters that cannot be fully addressed in a holograph Will.
In light of the current circumstances, the Ontario government has enacted temporary legislation to assist Ontarians where a holograph Will is not an appropriate solution. As of April 7, 2020, Ontarians can execute Wills virtually – this includes the acknowledgment of both a witness and the testator's signature. As long as a testator and the witnesses can see, hear, and communicate with each other in real time through a variety of audio-visual technologies, a Will can be created or amended regardless of the physical location of the parties. At the time of writing, this legislation will be revoked on April 21, 2020, but its applicability can be extended fourteen days at a time, by the Ontario government.
Unfortunately, this legislative change does not assist individuals who do not own a computer, cellular phone, or other device capable of using audio-visual technologies. Additionally, this legislative amendment does not assist individuals who do not have reliable internet access. However, creating and amending a Will is a very serious matter and a further broadening of the requirements to create or amend a Will could result in the elimination of the safeguards intended to protect a testator's interests. These temporary legislative amendments achieve a delicate balance between expanding witness requirements in light of the spread of COVID-19 and maintaining the protection of a testator's interests.
The newly-enacted legislation broadens the definition of "presence" but creates a new requirement for individuals acting as witnesses. Under this newly-enacted legislation, when the testator and witnesses are using audio-visual technologies to acknowledge a signature on a Will, one of the witnesses must be a "licensee", as per the definition in the Law Society Act. This includes both lawyers and paralegals – as long as the licensee is authorized to practice law or provide legal services in Ontario.
Even with the requirement that either a lawyer or paralegal act as a witness to the execution of a Will, or amendments to a Will, these temporary legislative changes raise significant challenges regarding a Will's validity, which may ultimately lead to Estate Litigation. An issue central to the creation and amendment of Wills is that of undue influence – whether the testator creating the Will, or requesting changes, is acting of their own accord or whether they are being influenced by a third-party. Undue influence was a concern before the newly-enacted legislation came into power. However, the in-person witnessing requirements that have since been eliminated created a procedural safeguard wherein a testator's interests were protected as much as possible.
Previously, a lawyer could confirm with a testator that they understood the document that was being signed and ask questions with the intent of confirming that the testator was acting in their own interest, rather than under the influence of a third-party. This practice did not eliminate the issue of undue influence, but provided some protection for vulnerable individuals. Conversely, the newly-enacted legislative amendments are untested. While coming from the good intentions of the Ontario government in light of the current crisis, it remains unclear as to whether self-serving third-parties will utilize these amendments to take advantage of a vulnerable individual.
Linked with the issue of undue influence is that of capacity. In Ontario, applicable case law indicates that the highest degree of mental capacity at law is required to create a valid Will. For legal professionals acting as virtual witnesses under the new legislation, this creates a new challenge. Now, legal professionals must determine whether a testator has the highest degree of mental capacity at law, without an in-person interaction. Virtual interactions can still provide assistance in determining capacity. However, these interactions would likely provide less assistance when compared to an in-person meeting. Based on the very high legal standard regarding mental capacity to create a Will, Estate Litigation may ensue as a result of the inability to conduct in-person meetings to determine capacity.
Another potential Estate Litigation issue arises from the broad wording of the new legislation. The Regulation indicates that two witnesses must be present through the use of audio-visual technology, which is defined as an electronic means of communication where participants can see, hear, and communicate with each other. The Regulation does not indicate particulars of what the parties need to see, hear, or communicate. Specifically, it is unclear as to whether a witness or testator will need to view another party put pen to paper when signing a Will, or whether viewing the other party indicate that a signature is made and applying their judgement to determine that a signature actually was made. This also raises issues regarding vulnerable testators – how can it be confirmed that a document observed to be signed through the use of audio-visual technology was actually signed at the time that its alleged signing was observed and was the same document that will subsequently be circulated to and signed by the other parties.
The new legislative changes are intended to allow for individuals to create and amend Wills, without contravening the social distancing restrictions. However, as indicated above, these changes could lead to a variety of Estate litigation. If you have concerns about the validity of a Will you believe has adversely impacted you or your family, you should consult with Rastin Law to determine whether you have an Estate Litigation case.

La guerra ed il sogno di Momi (1917)
aka War and Momi's Dream
Date: 2-11-2017
Directed by Segundo de Chomon and Giovanni Pastrone
Featuring Guido Petrungaro, Alberto Nepoti, Valentina Frascaroli
What it is: War, human and puppet styles
After hearing a war story, a young boy who likes playing with his toy soldiers Trik and Trak falls asleep and dreams that his toys gather armies and go to war.
This is the last directorial effort of the great Segundo de Chomon, and I must admit that he went out with an ambitious effort. The movie is in two parts. The first features a live-action war story about a young boy who tries to save his mother from enemy soldiers; I'm assuming this half of the movie is the work of co-director Pastrone. The second half is the dream sequence with the stop-motion puppets, and though moments of this sequence seem inspired by events in the earlier story, it goes off in a different and fairly elaborate direction. On top of the toys coming to life, this sequence also has a super-cannon to add to the fantastic content, as well as a sequence where one of the toys escapes a trap by taking himself apart piece by piece and then reassembling himself. The most impressive sequence has a town being destroyed by an invasion from the air; there's some very nice miniature work here. It's an interesting short, but I'm not quite sure if there's any point to the work as a whole; the first half concentrates on action and thrills, while the second half jumps back and forth between being comic and serious. Perhaps the answer lies in the title cards, but my copy is in Italian without an English translation. However, I really suspect that the title cards aren't really necessary; it's possible to appreciate the spectacle without them.

Home Technology PUBG Ban in India: shock to fans, PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile...
PUBG Ban in India: shock to fans, PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite completely closed in India
PUBG Ban in India: PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite were banned by the Government of India last month, but those who already had these games on their phones or laptops were able to play these games. PUBG India informed through a Facebook post that from October 30, Indian users will no longer be able to play PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite.
Tencent Games wrote on Thursday, 'After an interim order from the Ministry of Electronics Information Technology, Tenset Games is going to shut down all its services and access in India from October 30. Safety of user data has always been our top priority and we have always followed the data protection laws and regulations in India. We regret leaving here. '

After the ban in India, PUBG Corporation, the company that developed the PUBG game, broke ties with Tencent Games in China. After this, it was expected that the game would return to India. The rights to publish PUBG mobiles in India will also return to PUBG Corporation. By turning off server access by Tencent Games, PubG Mobile will also stop working for users who were able to play it even after the game was banned.
118 Chinese apps including PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite were banned in India in September. After this, they were also removed from the Google Play Store and App Store. PUBG game suffered a major setback due to the ban in India as 24 per cent of its total users were in India. It is worth mentioning that just a few days ago, PubG Corp, the creator of PubG Mobile, said in a post on LinkedIn that this Battle Royal style games are likely to return in India.

OnlySP's Favorite Games #19—Telltale's The Walking Dead
By OnlySP Staff December 30, 2018
Thanks to the staff of OnlySP, I am inviting you to come on a journey through our 50 favourite games. This week's game was famous in its first season, which we cover below, and has managed to soldier on despite its developer's sudden, unfortunate demise.
#19. THE WALKING DEAD, by Sep Gohardani
The first season of The Walking Dead catapulted Telltale Games from its position as an indie developer of adventure game adaptations to widespread recognition for creating something special. As a company, Telltale had already worked on big licences before, with titles including Jurassic Park and Back to the Future, but this game marked a change in style for the company, thanks to a focus on a more cinematic brand of storytelling that put the onus on the player to make vital choices that change the direction of the stories. Now on its fourth and final season, which—to everyone's relief—will see a conclusion following Telltale's sudden, shocking demise, the series revolutionised adventure games and had a large impact on the way games can tell stories.
At the beginning, though, uncertainty must have been present. When the focus is on characterisation and story rather than major gameplay elements, ensuring that the story is gripping and the characters engaging enough to make the game worthwhile is hugely important. In the end, these factors were not a worry at all.
Based on the successful post-apocalyptic horror comic book series by Robert Kirkman rather than AMC's TV show, the game borrows the general premise of the comics and sets itself in the same universe, though it harbours only a loose connection.
The first season managed to take that inspiration and turn it into more than the sum of its parts, telling a deeply touching, powerful, and always engaging story that had many twists and turns, but also felt deeply personal: the relationships between the characters always coming to the fore. The season also made sure that, while story and character took the front seat, you never felt disconnected from events and was directly involved in all major moments, whether that was a bitter argument or a tense escape from walkers.
The way the game involved players in those arguments shaped their relationship with the characters, and while the game obviously hit major plot points whichever path you choose, those decisions have an integral effect on the atmosphere and on what each major plot point means to both the player and Lee as the main character.
Quick-time events are a much-maligned gameplay mechanic, and they are not ideal in every situation, but they were a staple of Telltale's repertoire for action sequences. They serve a functional purpose in involving players in chase sequences and intense, dramatic moments, to a varied degree of success. Sometimes, the mechanic works well and exacerbates tense moments—especially in the presence of a major threat of failure—while, at other times, they seem more like an excuse to involve the player in a moment where otherwise they might not have been. This disparity has continued throughout the franchise and permeates Telltale's other games, even if the latest season has made some effort to vary things with an update to some gameplay elements. Nevertheless, the mechanic is perfectly serviceable in this context and serves as a framework for the main attraction of the game.
The main character, Lee, develops a relationship with an eight-year-old girl named Clementine over the course of the first season, which forms the basis for the rest of the game and is a central relationship that will be remembered for years to come. Not only is their developing father-daughter dynamic touching, it also acts as the emotional anchor on which the rest of the game revolves. The dialogue shines here, as players watch Clementine grow up and come to understand the world the characters now inhabit, slowly becoming less and less reliant on her adult companion.
This trait, coupled with the harrowing events they have to come through together (in the first season, Episode 2 and the farmhouse come to mind, as well as the extremely powerful final episode), serve to shape her view on other people and the world. The player is able to affect Clementine's perspective through dialogue choices, and the consequences of that really comes to the fore in Season Two.
The groundwork laid by Season One makes it the most important and most valuable of all four seasons, but that does not mean that the series did not build on it successfully. The episodic format lends itself to short, sharp, incisive storytelling and makes the player's involvement truly impactful. That sense returns in Season Two, with the aftermath of the harrowing and emotional events at the end of the previous season, which was one of the most affecting conclusions ever in gaming.
Since the player's focus shifts squarely to Clementine as the new protagonist, the game does a great job of making felt the consequences of Lee's actions, and allowing you to decide how Clementine tries to put his advice in to action. The narrative is equally harrowing in the second season and refuses let up at all, filled as it is with tentative alliances and both the best and worst of humanity. The second season is another exercise in excellent writing with a commendably powerful, resonant finale that really drives home what the stark, hopeless environment of a world so thoroughly destroyed by walkers can do to people who were once fast friends and companions.
While the third season is generally regarded as weaker than the others, Telltale's decision to try something new and change the formula a bit is admirable. This season focuses on a different family for a while, as Clementine's role becomes more of a supporting one and players experience the world through different eyes. This season maintains an admirably strong level of writing throughout and offers a suitably gripping experience without ever having the emotional resonance of the first two seasons. Nevertheless, it sets up the final season well, and the idea of having a break from the main story is certainly an interesting one that serves to build the tension, rather than provide instant gratification or continue on endlessly like versions of this franchise in other media, (looking at you, TV show).
Luckily, even though Telltale's demise has led to the cancellation of other much anticipated series, including The Wolf Among Us, Robert Kirkman's Skybound has saved The Walking Dead's final season and is allowing this great series to come to a conclusion. Before everyone came to understand the situation the company was in, it had released the first episode of the finale and, at that point, its blend of great storytelling and some new gameplay ideas meant that it felt fresh and exciting, boding well for future episodes.
With Clementine now a carer for a young child, her story really has come full circle, and her struggle to take care of AJ makes up a large part of that first episode, particularly as she comes to meet a new group of children who seem perfectly happy to take them in, even as AJ continues to have behavioural issues that would be challenging at the best of times, let alone in a world crawling with walkers and murderers.
The second episode, which is strong in its own right and serves as an excellent midpoint, for a while looked like being the last ever episode after the studio's sudden closure. Now, that we are set to receive a conclusion (the third episode releases on January 15), players can now breathe a sigh of relief and be happy in the knowledge that this excellent series, which has helped to change the face of both adventure games and storytelling in the entire medium, will receive the conclusion it richly deserves.
Thanks again for voyaging back to great games past with us. Do you have a favourite season of a Telltale series or another episodic adventure series you would like to share? By all means do so in the comments, and we will see you back here next week for another of OnlySP's 50 favourite games.

When Henry Chartier registered for the WWI draft, he was living in Manchester (Dickinson), Kansas. He was a laborer for the A.L. & S.F. Railroad Co. According to Lori Billington, great granddaughter of Henry J. Chartier and Mildred Boudreau, there were possibly 13 children in this family. Many of them were placed in foster homes. The first 9 children were found in the 1920 census information for Manchester (Dickinson County), Kansas, where the name is spelled "Shortier". The place of birth for both Henry and Mildred is recorded as "France" in the 1920 census. In the 1920 census Henry's occupation is a laborer on the railroad. In the 1930 census Henry's name is spelled "Harry Chartier"; the family is living in Concordia (Cloud), Kansas and "Harry" is a "laborer, odd jobs". When the 1940 census was taken, Henry and Bertha were living in Concordia, Kansas. Henry was a laborer doing road work for the PWAA. Also in the home was a stepson, Carl Loutz, age 16. When the 1940 census was taken, Mildred was living with her second husband, Elmer Rogers at 331 West Second St. in Concordia. Elmer was a plastering contractor. According to a newspaper article, Henry committed suicide when the bus he was riding a bus from Salt Lake City to Twin Falls stopped. Henry was complaining all of the way on the ride from Salt Lake City to Twin Falls because he wasn't allowed to smoke. When he got off at Twin Falls, Henry said "If I can't smoke I might as well end it all". He shot himself in the head. The coroner deemed it suicide. When the 1940 census was taken, it looks like Lester and Henrietta were living in the home of Mervyn Hungerford in Anderson (Jackson), Kansas. Mervyn was a farm manager and Lester was working on a soil erosion project for the CCC. The record says Mervyn is married, but there is no wife in the household.

For one East Village resident, helping the community is all fun and games.
Local businesses have sponsored Henge's tables - like this one in Tompkins Square Park - in communities nationwide.
Alan Good, 56, abandoned pre-med studies over 30 years ago to dance with legendary choreographer Merce Cunningham, becoming a fearless innovator of space and movement. Now, he keeps his interests alive through his company, Henge, building outdoor concrete table tennis platforms that are both works of art and tools for social interaction.
"Here was a converging between nature, the arts, business, urban design … and large cities," he said.
Since 2009, the tables have fostered communities nationwide, beginning in New York's Tompkins Square Park, with the support of local businesses. Don't play table tennis? Doesn't matter. Good encourages people to use the tables however they feel inspired. And yes, dancing on them is totally allowed.


If you're on Cebu this coming August 13, 2011, and looking for something to do, why not join an open photowalk brought to you by 1up2down Photography. I am not affiliated with them but I highly think this is worth sharing. This is open to anyone, with any kind of camera you have.
Enjoy shooting and have fun!!!
You just reminded me that I need a new camera. Hehe.
The Photowalk sounds interesting.I have needed a new camera for quite a while now. I think my cell phone has been my camera for the past year.
wow mukhang masaya yan ah!
