HP Envy 13 (Wood Edition)
byMatthew Buzzi Mar 12, 2020
The HP Envy 13 (Wood Edition)'s walnut-paneled design stands out from the ultraportable crowd. Couple that with a 4K screen, solid components, and a reasonable price tag, and it's an attractive package.
Attractive design with real wood.
Generally quick performance with Core i7 CPU.
Sharp 4K display.
Thunderbolt 3 port.
Only 8GB of RAM.
Limited configuration options for wood model.
UHD screen reduces battery life.
HP's Envy line is a longtime favorite of ours, with the 2019 Envy 13 earning a PCMag Editors' Choice among ultraportable laptops. The new Envy 13 (Wood Edition) ($1,299.99) has many similarities, but key internal and external differences—starting with the latter, as its name suggests, genuine and genuinely attractive wood in its design. The special model also offers a 4K display and quick components while maintaining a reasonable price tag. The Dell Inspiron 14 7000 (7490) remains our current top pick in the category for superior performance and battery life, but the wooden HP is a strong, stylish contender.
Wood You Look at That?
This is a handsome laptop, due in large part to the inclusion of the wood. For some, it may conjure images of a paneled basement or a wood-striped minivan, but in this modern context it's attractive. A big reason is that it's so unique—we've really never seen anything like it. My test model had the black and dark walnut combination, but other Envy models (as we saw in a hands-on preview) offer a white and lighter birch design. I personally like that scheme a bit more, but walnut is the wood available for this model and size (birch is offered with different screen sizes and convertible versions of the laptop), and it's all subjective anyway.
Make no mistake, this is genuine wood—sourced sustainably, HP says, and treated on both sides for durability and a more comfortable feel (and to prevent splinters!). It's smooth, but retains some texture to prove it's authentic. Every grain pattern on the palm rest and touchpad is unique.
All of this comes together in a tight form factor, measuring 0.57 by 12.1 by 8.3 inches and weighing 2.82 pounds. This is more or less identical to the last Envy 13 we reviewed, so this update is more about the aesthetic and feature set. As far as competitors, the Apple MacBook Pro 13 is a bit heftier at 3 pounds, but has almost the same dimensions (0.59 by 12 by 8.4 inches), while the Dell XPS 13 (7390) is slightly trimmer all around at 2.7 pounds and 0.46 by 11.9 by 7.8 inches.
Other than the wood, the Envy 13's most eye-catching feature is the 13.3-inch display. That likely isn't the case with the standard model, but my loaner boasts 4K (3,840-by-2,160-pixel) resolution. It's very sharp and boasts bright, vibrant colors, with a glossy glass finish that helps it stand out further. It is not an OLED screen, nor does it include touch capabilities.
For many, a 1080p screen at this size would suffice, but that option is only open to you with the regular (sans wood) Envy 13. UHD resolution certainly isn't necessary and adds to the cost while decreasing battery life, but it does look great. Anyone with extra cash who likes to work with several windows open at once or to view 4K video content will appreciate the option.
Configuration and Extras
While we're talking about options, there aren't exactly many configuration choices for this particular model—the only available Wood Edition is the black and walnut, 4K screen, non-convertible Envy 13. We saw other models with wood inlays in our hands-on preview, but those had different screen sizes or were 2-in-1 convertibles. The test unit—technically named the Envy 13-aq1195nr—was marked down from $1,299.99 to $1,099.99 on HP's site as I completed this review. It features a quad-core Intel Core i7-1065G7 processor, 8GB of memory, and a 512GB solid-state drive teamed with 32GB of Intel Optane memory for faster storage.
In addition to those core components and the 4K screen, the Envy 13 features a comfortable backlit keyboard. It's above average in quality, with keys that have a good amount of travel without feeling mushy or cheap. The display hinge also lifts the back of the laptop off the desk as you pull it open, tilting the keyboard at a slight angle for added comfort.
The touchpad is also walnut, the same texture as the wrist rest on either side of it. It acts almost like a cutout from the keyboard deck itself, which is impressive engineering and aesthetically pleasing. However, I think it impacts the functionality of the touchpad and would prefer a more traditional material—my finger drags occasionally because of the texture, making the pad feel less responsive than it should. It works fine most of the time, and is very novel, but it's not quite as good as a standard touchpad.
The ultraportable offers solid connectivity, though it doesn't have everything. On the left flank, you'll find a USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3 support, a USB 3.1 Type-A port, and a headphone jack:
On the right edge are another USB 3.1 port (which can charge the laptop, while the other is only for data transfer), the AC power jack, a microSD card slot, and a tiny switch for shuttering the webcam. You can fulfill your video-out needs with a USB-C adapter, but the lack of an HDMI port may prove annoying to some. Two USB-A ports isn't a lot, but hopefully enough for most users.
Solid-quality speakers from Bang & Olufsen, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, a fingerprint reader, and one free year of Microsoft Office 365 round out the feature set. Now, on to the performance.
Performance Testing: Plenty of Pep
For our benchmark comparisons, I've gathered a group of similar ultraportables to pit against this Envy 13 unit. You can see each of their loadouts in the table below:
First, some pricing context. There's an array of components and price tags in this batch, so it's helpful to know where every machine stands when looking at the performance (of course, things like storage capacity and display resolution factor into the price without impacting many of the benchmark results, so it's not 1:1). The Dell Inspiron 14 7000 is the least costly of the group at $1,126.99, while others such as the Apple MacBook Pro 13 ($1,499) and late 2019 Razer Blade Stealth being more expensive at $1,499 and $1,799, respectively. We reviewed another Blade Stealth earlier in 2019 that didn't have such potent discrete graphics and as such was closer in price, but I went with the later model since it had a newer, more comparable CPU.
Productivity & Storage Tests
PCMark 10 and 8 are holistic performance suites developed by the PC benchmark specialists at UL (formerly Futuremark). The PCMark 10 test we run simulates different real-world productivity and content-creation workflows. We use it to assess overall system performance for office-centric tasks such as word processing, spreadsheet work, web browsing, and videoconferencing. PCMark 8, meanwhile, has a storage subtest that we use to assess the speed of the system's boot drive. Both tests yield a proprietary numeric score; higher numbers are better.
On PCMark 10, almost all of the Windows laptops are equal. The Razer was quickest, but the general level of performance here is enough that you won't notice slowdown or lag during everyday tasks. The storage throughput results are even more clustered; the ultraportables' SSDs deliver almost identically swift speeds.
Media Processing & Creation Tests
Cinebench is often a good predictor of our Handbrake video editing trial, another tough, threaded workout that's highly CPU-dependent and scales well with cores and threads. In it, we put a stopwatch on test systems as they transcode a standard 12-minute clip of 4K video (the open-source Blender demo movie Tears of Steel) to a 1080p MP4 file. It's a timed test, and lower results are better.
We also run a custom Adobe Photoshop image editing benchmark. Using an early 2018 release of the Creative Cloud version of Photoshop, we apply a series of 10 complex filters and effects to a standard JPEG test image, timing each operation and adding up the total. As with Handbrake, lower times are better. This test stresses the CPU, storage subsystem, and RAM, but it can also take advantage of most GPUs to speed up the process of applying filters, so systems with powerful graphics chips or cards may see a boost.
The Envy 13 doesn't consistently land in the front or back of the pack here, making it a middle-of-the-road option as far as media-related tasks are concerned. All these laptops are designed more for daily productivity than content creation, so I'm judging their relative performance in that context. The six-core Dell XPS is the standout in the group, while the Envy 13 can get the job done, but I wouldn't recommend leaning on it for heavy photo or video editing.
3DMark measures relative graphics muscle by rendering sequences of highly detailed, gaming-style 3D graphics that emphasize particles and lighting. We run two different 3DMark subtests, Sky Diver and Fire Strike; both are DirectX 11 benchmarks, but Sky Diver is more suited to laptops and midrange PCs while Fire Strike is more demanding and made for high-end PCs to strut their stuff. The results are proprietary scores. Again, the MacBook Pro is excluded from this (and the next) Windows-based test.
Next up is another synthetic graphics test, this time from Unigine Corp. Like 3DMark, the Superposition test renders and pans through a detailed 3D scene and measures how the system copes. In this case, it's rendered in the company's eponymous Unigine engine, offering a second opinion on the machine's graphical prowess.
The Envy 13's Intel Iris Plus graphics are a step above the traditional integrated-graphics baseline, if not a match for laptops with dedicated GPUs (look at the difference compared to the Blade Stealth). You still won't want to use this system for professional 3D work or any serious gaming, however.
After fully recharging the laptop, we set up the machine in power-save mode (as opposed to balanced or high-performance mode where available) and make a few other battery-conserving tweaks in preparation for our unplugged video rundown test. (We also turn Wi-Fi off, putting the laptop in airplane mode.) In this test, we loop a locally stored 720p file of the same Tears of Steel short used in our Handbrake test with screen brightness set at 50 percent and volume at 100 percent until the system quits.
The Wood Edition's nearly 11-hour result is a decent runtime, though clearly not the best. A big part of that is the 4K screen, which drains power a lot faster than a 1080p display since it has four times as many pixels to illuminate. Right now, though, if you want the wood version of the Envy 13, you have to take the 4K screen with it. This amount of battery life will see you through much (or all) of a workday, depending on usage, since some activities will drain the battery faster than our video test does.
A Stylish and Unique Ultraportable
The HP Envy 13 (Wood Edition) is a very appealing laptop on all fronts. Considering its high-end CPU and display and nice design, the price tag is very reasonable. The Dell Inspiron 14 7000 remains our Editors' Choice for its lower price tag, mostly superior performance, and longer battery life, but the HP is a strong contender as well as a uniquely attractive conversation piece.

The latest addition to SAGA CRUISES, the 1981 built "SAGA SAPPHIRE" is starting her maiden voyage with SAGA on the 26th of March 2012, the ship will set sail from Southampton on a 23 nights voyage. "SAGA SAPPHIRE" was built in Germany by BREMEN VULKAN as the EUROPA, she was quite possibly the most sophisticated ship at sea when new. The ship is undergoing a refit before starting her new life with SAGA CRUISES a company focusing on traditional classic cruising. Images, the ship with the new SAGA livery, taken from SAGA's webpage, the full itinerary for her maiden cruise and in Lisbon during the 80's, a delightful passenger ship.
Further to my previous post,I have chosen to publish this photo from Joao Abreu once again, to illustrate the meaning of MARITIME MEMORIES when they state that "DISCOVERY" is an intimate ship taking 650 guests instead of 5000 and visits to destinations "off the beaten track", meaning of course "DISCOVERY" can call certain ports not suitable for a ship the size of the MSC FANTASIA, the photo is a remarkable account, a true testimony of past and present Ship Building. Both ships provide unforgettable cruising experiences, all depends of course what each one of us is looking for during a sea voyage.
There's a lot of ships out there, but there is only one "DISCOVERY" that's how MARITIME MEMORIES describes the ship they use for the classic sea voyages. Again to use their own words " this is an intimate ship with capacity for 650 passengers not 5000 and a vessel that visits smaller "off the beaten track" destinations ".
We portuguese have a saying regarding the month of April, "Abril, águas mil", in english meaning April, thousand rains and the ship enthusiasts associate that to cruise ship activity during April in the port of Funchal, "Abril, navios mil", April, thousand cruise ships".
It has the reputation of one of the busiest months of the year alongside November as regarding to this activity. Eastbound positional cruising, mainly from the Americas, which tend to occur in the refered season, is the responsible factor for this high peek of calls. Cruise ships take advantage of Madeira's strategical location on transatlantic crossings to the Med, to refuel and to stop in these long voyages allowing their passengers to strench their legs after so many days at sea.
Three, four or even more cruise liners are frequently seen simoultaniously in Funchal in April, sometimes the harbour size isn't enough to accommodate so many visitors, as it is visible in these images.

THE LATE MR. T. HEUZEN-
ROEDER.
Tanunda, October 29.
Quite a gloom was cast over this town on
Friday morning when the death of Mr. Theo.
Heuzenroeder, the well-known chemist and
druggist, became known. He had been ailing
for some time, so that his death was not
altogether unexpected. The deceased gentle-
man was the son of Dr. Heuzenroeder, and was
born at Schwanewede, near Bremen, in
Hanover. He was eduoated at Bremen, where
he received his diploma. He arrived in the
colony in 1859, and after a residence of six
years in Adelaide he removed to Hahndorf,
where he had charge of the post and tele-
graph office, which he carried on in con-
nection with his chemist's shop. In 1866
he removed to Tanunda, where he has
carried on a very extensive business. In
1867 he married Miss Fiedler, of Tanunda,
who died in March of this year. He leaves a
brother, Mr. M. Heuzenroeder, the well-known
musician, of Adelaide, and five sons and three
daughters. The deceased will be much missed,
as he was always ready with a helping hand
wherever it was required for any charitable
purpose. The funeral took place to-day, the
Rev. G. A. Heidenrich officiating at the
grave. The liedertafel and liederfreund com
bined sang with great feeling 'Ueber den
Hernen' and 'Da unten ia Frieden.' The
funeral was the largest seen here for a long
time, people being present from all the sur-
rounding townships.

Free Download of Crackerjack; Release of At The Water's Edge/h3>
Just thought I'd let you know that there is a free download available of Crackerjack here.
Why today? And why Crackerjack? Well, it was three years ago that I finally worked up enough courage to take the "ridiculously stupid" decision to resign and to try and make a record. And Crackerjack was the song that I wrote in tribute to the colleagues and friends that made up the "Crackerjack Crowd"; with whom I'd have a drink on a Friday night in R.I.S.C, and whom, it has to be said, continue to show great genorosity, interest and support in what I'm doing.
It's been a long haul making At TheWater's Edge. There's no doubt I underestimated how long it would take and things haven't gone particularly smoothly but it's finished now and I'm pleased (maybe even a little bit proud!) of how it has turned out. As to whether anybody else is going to like it, well of course, that's a different matter and we'll just have to wait and see.
At The Water's Edge won't "officially" be available in the digital shops and on CD until early November. However it is available for download here (where it'll be a bit cheaper than the digital shops anyway).


Halfway through the project it dawned on me: building a staircase is a perfect metaphor for the pursuit of success.
My partner and I were hosting a family reunion for the first (maybe the last?) time. That meant countless hours of sprucing up the ol' homestead. The staircase (the exterior variety) was necessary because our yard has an upper portion – a private sanctuary perfect for the practicing nudist – and a lower portion accessible only via a steep embankment. Because we didn't want any kinfolk somersaulting down the hill, a staircase seemed prudent.
I had a pretty good mental image of that staircase before I started construction. Likewise, you should picture success in your mind. Does success mean money to you? Does it mean independence? Comfort? Being debt-free? Think of success as simply, but as specifically, as you can. Some people create a vision board of images that represent success. Not a bad idea. Visualize success. Dare I say, undress it?
When building the staircase, I made numerous sketches. (It helped that I had a background in architecture before I became a marketing, content and design geek.) These sketches were detailed and to scale because building a staircase on steep terrain leaves little room for error. Same for your success plan. With your vision in mind, chart a course. Make it as exact as you can, but be open to revising your blueprint as conditions change and opportunities arise.
It would seem natural when building a staircase to simply go from bottom to top in measured steps. But considerations and complications arise. Do you need a platform at the top, a concrete base at the bottom, a landing in the middle? Likewise for success: Are there necessary bends or detours for education, training, or strategic partnerships? Figure out the most direct route with the fewest steps. Then build that path.
Henry David Thoreau wrote that, "If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." I interpret that as meaning that dreams of success can only be made real when built on solid ground and with strong foundations. Anchor your success staircase firmly and your climb will be more surefooted. Your foundations for success could include training and skills development, a core team of strategic referral partners, a solid business plan and professional marketing.
This is probably one of the fundamental tenets of carpentry. Taking an extra measure of care up front can save time and yield better results throughout your project (or throughout your journey to success). But beware of paralysis by analysis. The endless pursuit of perfection can scuttle your success.
My staircase is solid, man, solid. Not only did we sink support posts in concrete for the frame, we also used heavy-duty connectors, bolts and screws. Likewise in your quest for business success, you'll want to make the best connections possible. Determine your best networks of prospects and align yourself with strong strategic partners. Help others succeed and they will gladly help you in return (especially if you ask).
Staircases are more easily built and scaled when the steps are reasonably sized and spaced. For success, know where you are going and be steadfast in your determination; but also be patient and deliberate. Rejoice in reaching milestones along the way, and use those achievements to energize you for the next part of your journey.
Climbing the staircase of success (it's not a ladder after all, is it?) will be easier if you have handrails to lean on. These can include your support networks of friends, family and associates; but they can also include your website, your branding, your marketing tools, your staff, your suppliers and customers. Install them firmly. You'll need them.
Success is a journey, but it is also a staircase that you will build and climb and build some more. But don't be so focused on the construction that you don't enjoy the climb. Take time to feel the sun and the rain and the wind on your skin, the boards beneath your toes. You're a nudist, after all. What good is success if you can't undress and de-stress?

Staying true to myself whilst also adapting to the changes in society that have influenced the wedding market. The bridal industry has changed significantly in the past few years with the greater influence of fashion, but that has only helped me to evolve as a designer.
We love the Twenty18 range, it has such a variety of styles. Did you have a particular type of bride in mind when you were first sketching the collection?
My brides are so diverse now it gives me great scope when designing.
Within the 2018 collection I can identify three themes: city, country and classic. What would you say was the inspiration behind the 2018 collection?
I'd say it was probably the wonderful fabrics, which were sourced mostly from Italy, France and the UK. Though inspiration arrives from many diverse places, my designing is often initiated by the fantastic cloths I find at international textile shows.
You've included a capsule collection to pay homage to UK manufacturing – can you tell us a bit more about your reasons behind this?
This set of designs has been deliberately created to celebrate UK textile manufacturing, and lace artisans in particular. I chose the famous English cotton lace from Cluny Lace because it's owned and managed by the eighth and ninth generations of the Masons; the family started making lace in the 1760s, at the start of the Industrial Revolution. Throughout the last 150 years, Cluny Lace has continued to develop its beautiful lace patterns, combining the best of old traditions with innovative technology to produce a wide range of exquisite designs. So, my capsule collection is a celebration of British traditions and craftsmanship upon which my own business is based.
What do you think of the current UK bridal market?
The market's been flooded with imported dresses, so there's a growing appreciation of beautiful, hand-crafted gowns, which makes me very happy.
You've also launched an occasionwear line, what was the inspiration behind this?
The relocation of my London store to larger premises has been the key to launching my occasionwear line. I've always offered a bespoke service to my private clients, but now I'm able to offer my occasionwear pieces on a wider scale. On a personal level, I take inspiration from photographs of my mother wearing her own handmade ballgowns in the '50s. My couture occasionwear collection redefines classic elegance with fabric combinations and flattering silhouettes to create a contemporary feel.
Do you have a favourite piece in the Twenty18 collection?
I'd have to say Cordelia – it's such a classic style of gown and one that takes people's breath away.
How do you feel bridal fashion has changed since you started out?
Wedding traditions have changed so much, and in many ways an increasing move to informality has encouraged a much wider range of designing. However, I find the majority of brides still want the gown of their dreams to be classic and timeless, so it's my enjoyable task to achieve that with contemporary styling that echoes the bride's own style and personality.
Do you have a dream celebrity bridal client for the future?
The actress Emma Watson.
What is the ultimate wedding fashion faux pas?
Oh, it must be not turning up – that's definitely the worst thing!

What I Learned About Indigenous Rights as a Young Native American in Aboriginal Australia
A Native American activist reflects on how the US and Australia can improve Indigenous rights.
The UN's Global Goals work together towards ending extreme poverty through tackling its systemic causes. Yet, across the world, marginalized communites — such as Indigenous communities — face barriers to achieving equal education, health care, human rights, and other issues tackled by the Global Goals. Join the movement to end extreme poverty and its root causes by taking action here to ensure all people achieve the rights laid out by the Global Goals.
Victor Anthony Lopez-Carmen is a young Native American and member of the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe in South Dakota, and the Yaqui Nation in Arizona and Mexico.
He is a passionate advocate for Indigenous people's rights, and serves as co-chair of the United Nations Global Indigenous Youth Caucus. He has previously co-edited a compilation of young Indigenous people's essays from all over the world, entitled Global Indigenous Youth: Through Their Eyes, which was launched by the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.
He is currently a student at the Harvard Medical School in Boston and holds a Masters in Public Health from the Western Sydney University in Australia. Here, he reflects on his time studying in Australia and what he thinks can be done to better protect Indigenous rights in the US.
This article is part of the Global Citizen Contributing Writers Program, aimed at finding and giving a platform to new, unique, and powerful voices around the world.
Three years ago, I sat in a Manhattan hotel during the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, listening intently to a respected Aboriginal Australian elder as he told me a story.
He spoke of his aunt, who escaped an assimilationist residential school and walked hundreds of miles through the desert back to her home community.
His story reminded me of those told to me about my own Dakota Sioux grandparents. As children, they were taken from their families and forced to attend US residential school programs, where speaking Dakota was punishable by force. Indeed, the US and Australia used similar tactics to assimilate Indigenous communities. Despite it all, Indigenous Nations in our respective countries have fought hard to protect our cultures, sovereignty, and national freedoms such as the right to vote.
These shared histories motivated me, a Dakota and Yaqui student, to venture "down under" on a Fulbright Scholarship. My Fulbright research focused on understanding the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth attending boarding schools in inner cities like Sydney. While venturing into a topic riddled with historical similarities, I became aware of modern differences in the way Indigenous rights to education, health, justice, culture, identity, and sovereignty are addressed.
Related Stories Nov. 30, 2020 60% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples Believe Australia Is a Racist Country: Report
In both the US and Australia, Indigenous Peoples are among the highest represented when it comes to incarceration, police-related deaths, youth suicide, school dropouts, poverty, those with the lowest life spans,foster care, and chronic disease. Although social indicators are similar, the way both countries recognize Indigenous sovereignty is very different.
In the United States, Tribes operate and identify as Nations unto themselves. US law maintains that Tribes are sovereign groups with treaties granting rights to reservations, self-governance, self-determination, and to certain services provided by the US government such as education and health care.
It is important to note that while treaties, considered "the supreme law of the land," give us a tool to protect our rights in the courts, almost every single one of them has been broken. For instance, the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 between my Indigenous Nation, the Oceti Sakowin, and the US, promised us half of modern-day South Dakota, including a sacred mountain range called the Black Hills.
When gold was discovered in these sacred mountains, miners moved in and the Black Hills were stolen by force. In 1980, the US Supreme Court ruled that the Black Hills were wrongfully taken from our people, and that instead of returning them to us, we were to be compensated monetarily. To this day, the Oceti Sakowin have refused to accept the money, and maintain that the Black Hills be returned to our people as was agreed in the original treaty.

In comparison, Australia is the only country among its Britain-rooted peers without treaties enshrining the inherent sovereignty, self-determination, and continuity of Indigenous Peoples on their traditional territories. The limited land rights Aboriginal Peoples receive are won through Native Title, granting land usage on a family-group basis, only after such groups are able to prove substantially uninterrupted connection to land and waters.
Instead of recognition through formalized treaties, Aboriginal historical ties to the land are acknowledged in Australia in the public sphere. Acknowledgements of Aboriginal Peoples in parliament, national apologies from prime ministers, and National NAIDOC Week, which celebrates the culture and history of Aboriginal Peoples, all take place regularly.
When I witnessed the open recognition of Aboriginal Peoples at luxurious ceremonies, national conferences, major meetings in parliament, and by professors before starting classes, I was pleasantly surprised.
Native Americans are the most invisible racial group in the US when it comes to media, film, and politics. It felt good to know that Indigenous youth in Australia could turn on a television and see their heroes honored.
However, after working with Aboriginal Peoples across the country, I quickly realized that this sort of recognition was often betrayed by actions inconsistent with what true recognition requires. Words and gestures without recognition of the rights of Aboriginal Peoples in treaties has created a false sense of effort.
The basis for improvements in health, education, justice, and cultural vitality, or "closing the gap," is and always will be Indigenous self-determination. In the long-term, Indigenous independence is both economically healthy and morally just. Because of the horrible atrocities the US and Australia inflicted on Indigenous Peoples, there is an obligation to go beyond words and tangibly reverse the conditions that have manifested from them.
In the end, the US can do a much better job accurately and meaningfully recognizing Native American sovereignty in the public sphere, while backing up acknowledgements by honoring nation-to-nation treaties that the House, Senate, and previous presidents ratified. Australia, too, can learn from mistakes made in the US and commit themselves to the legal realization of Aboriginal autonomy that goes beyond words and public gestures.
As an Indigenous youth, I want governments across the world to fulfill the promises they made to Indigenous Peoples. I envision a world where the US and Australia take responsibility for policies that still affect our well-being, such as the fact that Native Americans did not get the right to vote in all 50 states until the 1960s, which means we did not get an equal say in matters that impacted us.
In the end, I want our people to have access to all the freedoms granted to non-Indigenous citizens, such as the right to vote, as well as the rights that have belonged to us since time immemorial — such as the right to hunt, speak our languages, and manage our traditional territories. I want our sacred places to be returned to us and protected in the law, so my great-grandchildren can practice our traditions on them.
Until this happens, public forms of acknowledgement will remain disingenuous and the intergenerational impacts of colonization will continue to stain our respective nations.

Bartok's Medal
Friday, August 31, 2018, 11:30am
He became known for his turbulent modernism and became one of the most honored composers of the twentieth century. But Bela Bartok was a modest, retiring man who was inclined to view honors with a sense of humor.
In the 1930's, as a member of the Congress of Humanistic Sciences Bartok attended a meeting in Geneva. Included was a glittering dinner at the Hungarian ambassador's residence. Bartok took it in stride. He wrote:
There was only X-the Hungarian charge d'affairs, myself, and his wife -- a detestable female. The ambassador's wife is American, speaks only American but makes a show of being Hungarian. There were such artfully crafted delicacies that I hardly remember eating anything like them. And yet the dinner was not enjoyable because, aside from the shrill shrieks of Mrs. X, these polished diplomats are artificial people, very unlike artists.
From Geneva Bartok went to Mondsee to teach at a summer school -- the Austrian-American Conservatory. The faculty was a distinguished group of musicians, but again the reality did not live up to the glamour of the place. Because of sloppy planning, most of the students didn't show up when the session started and so the two women who had organized the school decided to study with Bartok. He wrote to his mother:
Now I have three regular pupils -- three for piano, not bad, one for composition --passable, one only for harmony -- all three girls, plus the old witches. A sixth wanted to study harmony with me, but didn't even know the scales well, and I said no to that!
At a reception for a visiting dignitary, faculty members were asked to wear their medals from the Legion of Honor. Bartok opened an old-fashioned coin purse, took out the decoration, and secretly offered it to a fellow faculty member. When asked why he was carrying the decoration in his coin purse, Bartok replied that his mother had put it there.Bela Bartok took honors in stride, even after he became a celebrated composer in the 1930's.

You start following a micro influencer (let's say a fashionista with 10,000 followers). Three months later, they post a cute selfie in NYC with an awesome new hat. You notice their posts gets thousands of likes and hundreds of comments in a matter of minutes. Your curiosity takes over and you click on their profile. To your surprise, you see that their following has grown to 20,000! You think to yourself: what is the secret sauce to their success and how can you replicate it? Is it the quality of photos, artsy locations, captivating filters, or the creatively-crafted hashtags?
Every Instagrammer has witnessed the picture-perfect Instagram posts that racks up thousands of likes and comments in a matter of minutes (or seconds). It's no secret that building a popular account takes countless hours of carefully curating content and researching hashtags to attract likes and comments.
You may even have tried to imitate popular Instagrammers by visiting an Insta Spot or using popular hashtags, only to find your efforts racking up less impressions or likes than expected. Why are these so-called "white hat" Instagram strategies not working? What secret sauce are these popular Instagrammers using to keep their fan base strong and growing?
Bots. The truth is, most Instagrammers have at one point used bots to grow their account. Even reputable Instagrammers have admitted to using automated bot services to grow their fan base. In addition, Socialcyte, a popular Influencer agency that only works with accounts with over 100K followers, encourages their clients to use bot-like services to increase their following and engagement.
In the past, the idea of bots has been a controversial grey line in the social media realm. Technically speaking, automation is against Instagram's rules. In fact, the popular platform has disabled many automation services like Instagress and Peerboost. The thing is – every time an automation platform gets disabled, ten new ones appear like a never-ending game of whack-a-mole. Why does this happen? Open source projects have sprung up, making it easy to reverse engineer Instagram's app and APIs and easily create bots. Right now, there are at least 80 different bot-like services available to Instagram users. There are thousands of social media marketing agencies and digital marketing agencies who offer similar services but are reselling bots for Instagram automation.
Instagram could get strict and shut down these hundreds of services but seems to be turning a blind eye to most. Moreover, their crackdown in late 2018 on fake accounts did not reduce bot services. The social media giant has also taken very minimal legal and technical steps to stop bots on their platform. Moreover, the introduction of Action Blocked does little to prevent bot activity. Why does Instagram allow for these services to flourish when they blatantly go against the rules of the platform? Truthfully, bots work and Instagrammers love them. Whether it's an extra like on a photo or a "ur content rules!!!" comment, bots boost Instagrammers' numbers and egos.
Think about it, why would you keep on posting photos on your Instagram if you only receive a handful of likes? Low engagement on posts would eventually kill your interest in the platform. On the other hand, if you post a photo and receive 100 "likes" and a handful of comments (even if they are from bots), you will become more engaged with the platform and eager to return. That dopamine hit when you see new followers or likes is key to the continued success of the platform. Instagram knows this and wants you to continue using their platform, which is why they haven't prevented "white hat" automation services, like Gold Nitro.
At the end of the day, Instagram, just like Facebook, is a business and needs to grow revenue. Their revenue comes from selling ads, and the more eyeballs that see their ads, the more money they bring in. Instagram can at any moment stop bots all together, but they actively choose to ignore most. Why? Instagram understands the importance of bots and does not want to slow user growth or accidentally limit their real power users. Even if bots account for a big portion of Instagram activity (likes, follows, unfollows, comments), the platform will continue to prioritize growth and continue to allow it as long as it keeps the humans coming back and tapping on ads.
What's the difference between "white hat" and "questionable" bot services? "White hat" bot services encourage REAL engagement by REAL people. This means instead of an Instagrammer spending countless hours engaging and doing the dreadful "follow-unfollow" method, bot services automate these activities for you and in return grow your fanbase and boost engagement on your account. On the other hand, "questionable" bot services use fake accounts to help you gain massive, instant followings and engagement. Instagram is cracking down on these "questionable" bot services even harder. In 2018, Instagram did a massive purge of ghost accounts. If you saw a steep loss of follower/following during this period, it might be a sign of ghost accounts. Instagram accounts that have a human touch, alongside a little automated help, are usually going to be the most successful on the platform.
If used correctly, bots can become an Instagrammer's best friend. Since Instagram changed their algorithm, Instagrammers have tried every method to regain their high engagement levels, including joining pods (a closed DM group of users that engages with each other's content), purchasing followers, the follow-unfollow method, getting featured on popular accounts, visiting IG spots, and using bots. True Instagrammers know that nothing works better than bots to continue growing a healthy account.
Bots work so well that this Data Scientist created a 100% automated account that scored his free meals in NYC. Bots let you sit back and relax while your account grows, though you still need to keep posting great content. No more hours a day tapping like or follow.
You don't want to spend countless hours doing the tried and true follow-unfollow method and interacting with other users. If you are a business owner, you know that your time can be better spent doing other important tasks, like posting amazing photos. Pro tip: You need to like and follow hundreds of accounts a day to even see an impact in your follower count and increase post impressions.
If you're a business new to Instagram, you will likely see very low engagement. Automation helps the right users see your posts faster. Pro tip: following new accounts is key, mostly if they have less than 1,000 followers, since the user will receive a notification right on the app. Find real people though!
If you have an established business, you may want to grow your account even more to expand your audience.
Influencers, brand ambassadors, actors, fashion designers, and other related professionals may want to increase their fan base through Instagram. Pro tip: follower count is critical for influencers, dipping below certain thresholds like 10,000, 50,000, or 100,000, can be detrimental to gaining and keeping brand deals. Many marketplaces that connect influencers and brands require influencers to have a certain number of followers before working with brands.
Even though brands largely ignore if an influencer's following is real or fake, there are tools that help detect fake following. With more readily available technology, it is important to ensure you are gaining real, engaged followers through your automation bot tool.
There are some shady *pop-up* automation sellers out there that will scam users without delivering results. With automation services, trust and credibility is key.
If an automation company asks for your credentials right away, this can be a red flag.
If they want money or credit card information up front, with no trial, they could be a scam.
Research the company and read their reviews. If there are little to no reviews (or only negative reviews), this can also be a red flag. Keep in mind that companies can easily buy positive reviews for themselves and negative reviews for their competitors. Even the best services will have negative reviews.
Make sure you do not purchase fake followers in bulk. These so-called followers will never engage with your content, and you'll eventually lose them over time. Remember, Instagram aggressively deletes fake accounts so these fake followers will disappear within weeks.
Using the wrong automation tool can easily get your account flagged. Use an automation tool that stays below Instagram's daily engagement limits and "backs off" when an Action Block warning appears – just like a real human would.
Some digital marketing agencies that provide tailored growth for their clients delegate growth to bot services, you may be able to save a buck by signing up directly with the bot service.
Despite "bot" becoming a bad word due to the recent political climate, automation on Instagram is alive and growing. The truth is — Instagram is not going to stop bot usage anytime soon and the constant demand for bots from businesses and influencers allows them to thrive. Of course, the best automation services find real people to interact with and avoid fake accounts. If you are looking for a reputable, trustworthy company to deliver you real followers, consider using Gold Nitro. Gold Nitro strives to provide organic follower growth by doing auto likes and auto follows with other real people.You can start benefiting from Gold Nitro today by signing up for a 100% free 14-day trial!

Q: How to share an image on whats app which is set on an ImageView in android I have an image(downloaded via internet) set on an imageview in my code. I am gettting this image via json.
I want to share this image on whats app, but i do not know the file name or its path.
I have tried this code
Intent share = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
    share.setType("image/*");
    share.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, Uri.fromFile(new File(root.getAbsolutePath() + "/DCIM/Camera/image.jpg"));
    startActivity(Intent.createChooser(share,"Share via"));

But as you see it is passing a filepath, i do not know the filepath nor the file name.
Is there anyway possible by which i can just get the Image from the ImageView and share it by share.putExtra....
as i am able to share text easily by whats app.
I am specific of getting the image from ImageView approach as it satisfies my requirement, not by getting image by file pathname.

Default type of share is whats app

A: By saving a local copy of the image to the sdcard before assigning it to the ImageView, you can share it.
Can you be a little more verbose regarding the code used to set the image from JSON to ImageView?

Lighthouses of China: Níngdé, Fújiàn
The Chinese province of Fújiàn (formerly spelled Fukien or Fuchien) is located on the southeastern coast of the country, facing Taiwan across the Formosa (Taiwan) Strait. The coastline is rugged and irregular, with many islands and reefs threatening unwary navigators. This page includes lighthouses of the prefectural level city of Níngdé, in the northern part of the province adjacent to Zhèjiāng.
The coastline of Níngdé is particularly intricate, with numerous islands and bays cutting deeply into the mainland. Sānshā Bay is the largest of these embayments.
Lighthouses in China are maintained by the PRC Maritime Safety Administration. The administration is organized in four regional administrations, with district offices in the major ports. All the lights on this page are maintained by the Fúzhōu MSA office, which is part of the Shànghǎi Region.
The pinyin system for transliterating Chinese into Latin characters is now the international standard, but some locations continue to be known also under the spellings of older transliteration systems. The Chinese word for a lighthouse is dēngtǎ (灯塔). In pinyin jiāo (formerly chiao) is a reef or rock, jiǎo is a cape or headland, dǎo (tao) is an island; yǔ (tsu) is a small island, wān is a bay and gǎng (kang) is a harbor.
ARLHS numbers are from the ARLHS World List of Lights. CN numbers are the serial numbers used by the Shànghǎi regional office of MSA. Admiralty numbers are from volume P of the Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals. U.S. NGA List numbers are from Publication 112.
