As specialist employment lawyers we attend Employment Tribunals all the time. We represent clients in Employment Tribunals London and nationwide and have a very high success rate. One of the main reasons for our success is the knowledge and experience gained over 20 years. Many of our cases take place in Employment Tribunals London but we represent clients nationwide.
Below we have set out some useful information on Employment Tribunals. We explain how Employment Tribunals work and also how you can contact your nearest Employment Tribunal.
However, a warning: whilst it is possible for parties to represent themselves in Employment Tribunal this is rarely a good idea. Employment law and Employment Tribunal practice and procedure is much more complex than people realise. In fact we find that Employment Tribunals are often more complex than appearing in a court. In reality it can be disastrous for parties to represent themselves.
Using our experience against unrepresented parties we have set out below the most common mistakes made and further down we set out some guidance:
(1) Unrepresented parties commonly get the law wrong to such an extent that a claim or defence to a claim cannot possibly win. If a case has no merit in law an Employment Tribunal can make an Order that your claim/defence be struck out and that you pay the legal costs of your opponent. It is no excuse that you did not understand the law or that you did not research the law correctly.
Bear in mind that an Employment Tribunal is not there to reach a moral judgment on whether one party or another has behaved "badly" or "unfairly" as most lay people would understand it. It will decide whether the law has been broken by considering sections of relevant employment statutes (such as the Employment Rights Act 1996 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1996/18/contents)) or the Equality Act 2010 (https://www.gov.uk/equality-act-2010-guidance). This requires a good technical understanding of the law in detail, including the latest reported cases.
(2) Parties without representation commonly do not make a claim or raise a defence that would win. Employment Tribunals require the case for each party to be set out in detail. Once the claim or defence has been set out it is very difficult to change it. So if a party does not set out their case according to the correct legal principles this will greatly weaken their case going forward. Very often it will reduce a very good case to one that cannot possibly win.
(3) Unrepresented parties often do not ask the correct questions of the other side, either during the preparation of the case or during the hearing itself. This is a skill that requires experience and a very good, detailed understanding of the law as well as in-depth knowledge of Employment Tribunals practice and procedure. If you do not ask the correct questions to support your claim the opposing party is allowed to argue that you have not put your case properly. This can lead to part or all of your case being struck out.
(4) It is often the case that unrepresented parties fail to obtain the correct documentation from the other side prior to the hearing. It is fairly common for parties to fail to disclose all of the documents that they should disclose prior to a hearing. There are ways to ensure that all documentation is properly searched for and disclosed to you prior to a hearing so that you can analyse it and comment on it or even ask for additional documents that will support your case further.
Without all of the relevant documentation the prospect of winning a case is greatly reduced. In fact it can mean that a case that should win does not, in fact, win.
(5) Parties without a lawyer fail to draft witness statements correctly, so that relevant evidence is not presented to the Tribunal in a way that is clear. Commonly unrepresented parties have a hopelessly unrealistic view of what a Tribunal can understand in a short time frame. It leads to an Employment Tribunal simply giving up trying to understand an unrepresented party's case or worse completely misunderstanding it.
(6) Unrepresented parties fail to draft a Schedule of Loss or a Counter-Schedule of Loss correctly.
The Employment Tribunal will ask a Claimant how much is being claimed and to explain in a schedule the calculation for claiming the sum. This should be based on statutes such as the Employment Rights Act or the Equality Act and the subsequent case law.
Unrepresented Claimant's will frequently draft a Schedule of Loss claiming huge sums that they are not permitted to claim, making the Employment Tribunal regard them as greedy or slightly deranged and fundamentally undermining them in front of the Employment Tribunal. By way of example, it is not uncommon to see an unrepresented Claimant hundreds of thousands of pounds or even millions. At the same time an unrepresented Claimant will not make a claim for compensation that they are perfectly entitled to claim.
An employer is often well-advised to submit a Counter-Schedule of Loss. Again this is based on legal principles and if cleverly drafted can ensure that compensation is kept to the minimum or nothing at all.
The above is just a small insight into the dangers of parties representing themselves. Many unrepresented parties do not realise their error until they get to the Employment Tribunal itself when they discover, to their horror, that they do not understand how to properly present their case as required by Employment Tribunal practice and procedure or the correct legal principles.
We would urge all parties to seek representation from a suitably experienced specialist employment lawyer, whether it is us or another firm.
If you are a Claimant and struggling to pay legal fees you should check to see if you have legal expenses insurance (this is often part of insurance policy, such as insurance for your home contents). We have also set out at the bottom of the page agencies that provide free advice.
If you are a Respondent you would be well advised to join our employer club. This is a subscription service that means that you pay a monthly fee for advice and representation at a reduced rate or without further charge. This can save you a lot of money and ensure that you receive high quality representation
THE BASICS OF AN EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNAL CLAIM
Employment Tribunals Practice and Procedure
Employment Tribunals London and nationwide are governed by the same rule. The Employment Tribunal claim is started by submission of a Claim form (ET1). The Respondent (the employer) to the claim has 28 days of receiving the claim form to lodge a Response Form (ET3).
There are many Employment Tribunals situated across the UK and we have set out below contact details for the main ones. There are three Employment Tribunals London (based in South London, Central London and East London).
At the hearing, there will either be an Employment Judge sitting alone or in discrimination claims there will be three members of the Employment Tribunal. The Employment, who sits in the middle, is usually a Barrister or Solicitor. Each side of him are "wing members" who usually come from either an employee or employer background respectively. All three are involved in making the final decision, which can be unanimous or by majority.
The party with the burden of proof starts and presents their evidence by calling witnesses who can either read out pre-prepared witness statements or more commonly the Employment Tribunal will read to themselves. These statements refer to a common bundle of documents. When the witness has read out the statement, the opposition representative can ask questions of that witness by way of cross-examination. The Tribunal can also ask questions.
Once all witnesses have been called, the opposition undertake the same exercise calling their witnesses who are subsequently cross examined. When this is concluded, either party has an opportunity of summing up their case and then the Tribunal retires to make its decision. It will either give the decision the same day or notify the parties in writing, called a reserved decision.
Employment Tribunal time limits
Most claims to Employment Tribunals must be made within very strict time limits. In most cases the Employment Tribunal must receive a claim within three months. In dismissal cases the three month period begins from the date that an employee's employment ended.
In discrimination cases or complaints of non-payment of wages or holiday pay the three month period begins when the act you want to complain about occurred.
Period of service
In general, in order unfair dismissal an employee must have worked continuously for for not less than two years (if employment began on after 6 April 2012) or one year (if employment began on or before 5 April 2012).
Although generally at least one year's continuous employment is needed to be able to bring an unfair dismissal claim, if the dismissal is for one of the reasons below there is no qualifying period.
These are known as automatically unfair reasons and they include:
Health and Safety dismissal
Pregnancy related dismissal (only if the employer was aware the employee was pregnant)
Dismissal related to asserting a statutory right
Dismissal relating to Trade union membership or non-membership
Dismissal in connection with the national minimum wage
Dismissal connected with refusing to exceed the 48-hour working week
Dismissal for whistleblowing
Employers and employees need to be aware that just because someone does not have one year's service they are not automatically barred from bringing one of the above claims.
If the dismissal is related to discrimination on grounds of Age, Disability, Gender Re-assignment, Marriage and Civil Partnership, Pregnancy and Maternity, Race, Religion or Belief, Sex or Sexual Orientation, there is similarly no requirement to have worked one or two years service year and no limit on the amount of damages the Employment Tribunal can award for unfair dismissal.

Черти́нский (в обиходе Черта) — микрорайон в составе территориального управления «Бабанаково» городского округа Белово в Кемеровской области России. До 30 сентября 1958 года имел статус посёлка городского типа. В обиходной речи жители продолжают именовать его поселком.

География
Расположен на границе Салаирского Кряжа и Кузнецкой котловины на берегах рек Бачат и Черта (Чертинка, Чернушка). Микрорайон расположен в 16 километрах от Белово, между посёлками Бабанаково и Новый городок.

Название
Название происходит от устойчивого словосочетания «Городская черта» — граница городского поселения. Первоначально безымянный посёлок замыкал цепочку рабочих поселений в южной части города, здесь проходила и в настоящее время частично проходит граница между городскими землями и землями Беловского района. Жители, описывая свой посёлок, отмечали что он находится хоть и далеко от цента, но в «Черте города», и здесь, в отличие от соседних деревень, доступны городские социальные блага — больница, общественная баня, столовая и т. п. После начала строительства Нового городка граница сместилась на юг, но название «Черта» закрепилось. При образовании Беловского городского округа Новый городок получил статус отдельного муниципального образования и вошёл в округ, а Чертинский остался в составе земель города Белово, таким образом теперь это снова граница города, но отделяющая город от городского округа.

Есть версия что название произошло от речки Черта, хотя возможно и обратное — поселок дал имя речке.

Предприятия
 Шахта Чертинская
 Центральная обогатительная фабрика ЦОФ Беловская
 Завод сборного железобетона
 Разрез Новобачатский

Закрытые предприятия и учреждения
 Шахта Западная — одна из самых новых в городе
 Кирпичные заводы (два)
 Шахто-строительное управление
 Дом Культуры «Горняк»
 Профессиональное училище № 26 (в 2010 году)
 Детский сад в районе 2/3
 Обогатительная фабрика ГОФ Чертинская
 Шахта «Новая»

В послевоенное советское время существовали общественная столовая, больница и баня. Потом больницу перенесли в Новый городок, а столовая и баня перестали пользоваться спросом по мере роста благосостояния населения - переселения из общежитий в собственное жилье.

Образовательные учреждения
 Две школы основная № 5 и средняя № 9
 Детский сад
 Станция юных техников
 Музыкальная школа

Церкви
 Храм Святого Великомученика Димитрия Солунского — расположен на 1 этаже малосемейного учительского общежития.

Транспорт
В 16 километрах от посёлка расположены железнодорожный и автовокзал города Белово. Через посёлок проходит автодорога Белово-Новый городок, соединяющая центр города с ближайшими крупными посёлками в южном направлении. Из Чертинского можно добраться до сёл Беловского района: Беково, Ново-Бачаты (Каменка), пос. им. Ильича, а также до села Заречное (Улус), входящего в состав городского округа Белово. Через пос. им. Ильича можно выехать на дорогу Кемерово-Новокузнецк (Старая трасса).

Муниципальное управление
Посёлок имеет статус «Микрорайон Чертинский» в составе города Белово. Территориальное управление находится в соседнем посёлке Бабанаково и отвечает за все территории, не входящие в состав центральной части города: Бабанаково, Чертинский, 8 марта, Заречное. В поселке действует «Отдел по работе с населением микрорайона Чертинский», который подчинен вышеназванному территориальному управлению. Работают в нем в основном социальные работники. В народе этот орган администрации привычно называют «Поселковый совет»

Составные части посёлка
Посёлок строился силами рабочих, работавших на местных шахтах в первые послевоенные годы. При строительстве люди исходили из принципа близости к предприятиям на которых работают, поэтому в микрорайоне можно выделить несколько частей, отличающихся по ширине и направлению улиц, уровню благоустройства, состоянию жилого фонда. Строительство зачастую велось без должного планирования территории и межевания участков, из-за чего на окраинах поселка улицы получились кривыми, узкими, с замысловатыми ответвлениями, тупиками и хаотичной нумерацией домов. Рациональную планировку улиц имеют только центр посёлка и массив Чеплай, появившийся относительно поздно.

 Центр посёлка. С востока ограничен шахтой Чертинская, на западе застройка прекращается вблизи бывшей шахты Западная. Главные улицы — Клубная, названа так по Дому Культуры (клубу) «Горняк», замыкающему её (закрыт в 2013 году, снесён в 2015) и Южная. Остановки транспорта — Монтажная, Горняк, Баня. Построен в конце 1940-начале 1950-х годов XX века. Некоторые улицы достраивались вплоть до 80-х годов.
Изначально здесь концентрировались немногочисленные многоквартирные дома посёлка: кирпичные с неполным благоустройством (центральное отопление и холодная вода — без канализации) и щитовые — без благоустройства. Начиная с 2000-х гг щитовые дома стали сноситься по программе расселения ветхого жилья, в 2015 был снесён последний барак на улице Западной. После землетрясения 2013 года на улице Клубной было снесено два кирпичных жилых дома и одно из двух зданий школы № 9. До этого на улице Клубной в течение 90-х — 2000-х годов снесены здания Сберкассы, дома быта, опорного пункта милиции, музыкальной школы, профессионального училища. На месте снесённых домов и зданий новое строительство не ведётся — центр поселка покрыт пустырями.
 2/3 («два-три») массив улиц расположен к северу от центра поселка вблизи бывшей шахты «Чертинская 2/3», которая была открыта в 1948 году, а уже в 1958 её объединили с соседней шахтой «Чертинская-1» в одно предприятие. Представляет собой значительный массив частных домов от улицы Победы до р. Бачат. Остановки транспорта: «Ремстрой», «Кирзавод». Нумерация домов спутанная. Хаотичность застройки отразилась на топонимике, например, четыре Шахматные улицы изначально были единой улицей, состоявшей по меньшей мере из 15 фрагментов-проездов, многие из которых пересекались под прямым углом, напоминая шахматную доску. Благоустройство и социальная инфраструктура минимальны. Построен и изначально населён рабочими шахты, в честь которой получил название, а также рабочими других промышленных предприятий, расположившихся к северу, в промзоне между посёлками Черта, Бабанаково и 8 марта. Расположен достаточно далеко от центра поселка — отделен от него пустырем. В 50-70-х годах на этом пустыре между улицами Монтажной и Каспийской действовал довольно крупный рынок, по которому остановка автобусов вблизи улицы Монтажная называлась "Рынок"
 Шанхай — три улицы, к северо-западу от центра поселка. Тесно прилежит к центру поселка по бывшей железнодорожной ветке и к "2/3", по улице 4-я Шахматная. Построен и изначально населён рабочими шахты «Западная»
 Майка — массив расположен к северо-востоку от центра поселка вдоль обоих берегов р. Черты. Из-за большой протяжённости разделяется на две части по признаку близости к автобусным остановкам — «Горняк» или «Ремстрой» и приписки детей к школам — № 5 или № 9. Название — упрощение от первоначального полного названия «Посёлок имени Первого мая». Изначально отдельный посёлок самостоятельно построили и населили первые рабочие шахты Чертинская обогатительной фабрики "Чертинская" и других предприятий в восточной части Черты. Долгое время действовали собственная школа и магазины.
 Чаплай (Чеплай, Чеплаевский) — расположен к юго-западу от центра поселка, имеет с ним границу по улице Южная. Возник в связи со строительством Шахты «Новая» и других промышленных предприятий в южной части посёлка. Наиболее благополучный и благоустроенный массив в Чертинском.
 Рудничка — название массива дано по пяти улицам Рудничным, расположенным южнее Чеплаевского массива, за железнодорожной веткой, вдоль ручья Черта. Улица Высокая соединяет этот массив с Майкой. Состоит из частных домов, в основном бревенчатых, построенных работниками шахты «Чертинская-Южная» (Новая). Заметно проигрывает Чеплаевскому из-за удаленности социальных объектов и плохого водопровода.

Why not try being a Gran Canaria Photographer?
We had a perfect chance for this during the vacation time just after a long wedding season. As we are not the resort lovers, we did choose an Airbnb. What a perfect shoot it was:) We stayed in Jehovannas home, at the North part of the Island. A small town just above a cliff. That was a pleasure to wake up 5 meters above the waves majestically hitting the rocks. But to be honest, a real pleasure was to meet those Canarian folks! Both Jehovanna and Alvaro were true ocean souls, growing up with ocean and wind as their friends.

G.fast is the next generation of residential broadband systems and the last in the series of: voice-band modems, ISDN, ADSL and VDSL. These technologies have dominated the market and transformed, if not defined, modern living. We expect G.fast to be a worthy successor and reach similar market penetration. Each generation of DSL has increased the capacity by about a factor of ten, as will G.fast. Being a hybrid-fibre-copper technology relying on a deep-fibre deployment, one of the additional purposes of G.fast is also to extend the fibre networks of Europe and thus prepare for a full fibre network. The previous projects have initiated the G.fast standard and ensured its progress through submitting hundreds of standards contributions. The GOLD project aims to ensure the creation of a complete standards ecosystem for Fibre to the distribution point ultra-high-speed access based on G.fast, and a roadmap for its further evolution.


Great food and great service. Food was fresh and hot. My husband loved the Tamales and the Margaritas were wonderful. Very authentic Mexican Food. Would highly recommend. Prices are more than reasonable. If ever in the area, give them a try.

Dominik - Not Lovie or Licht to Blame for This Revis Fiasco
The former Bucs GM really did a number on this franchise.
By JCDeLaTorre@jcdelatorre Mar 11, 2014, 8:01am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Dominik - Not Lovie or Licht to Blame for This Revis Fiasco
Like you, I wasn't sure what to make of the rumors. Surely, the Bucs weren't going to just waste two draft picks on a one year rental. Right? They can't possibly be that dumb!
Apparently, the Buccaneers have no choice.
Bucs Nation is angry today and for good reason. That draft pick surrendered to the NY Jets became the NFL Rookie of the Year Sheldon Richardson. Even if the Bucs didn't draft Richardson, there were plenty players floating around that pick that would have helped the Buccaneers.
Many today are blaming coach Lovie Smith for not having the ability to adapt his defense around Revis. Surely, any coach worth his salt can figure out a way to use the ultra-talented cornerback. Folks, ultimately this has nothing to do with defensive schemes. It doesn't have anything to do with Revis the football player.
This is about Mark Dominik - in self preservation mode - selling his soul and the that of this franchise in hopes that he could make a blockbuster deal.
You remember last off-season don't you? As Captain Ahab (Dominik) searched for the White Whale (Revis), quality cornerback after quality cornerback fell off the market. By the draft - John Idzik, who didn't have any leverage, squeezed Dominik's jewels in a vice. It was Dom's own fault, backing himself into a corner and letting good talent head off to other teams.
It wasn't so much the trade as what happened after. Dominik knew he couldn't allow Revis to play out his contract (which had one year remaining) and he surely couldn't afford to have Revis pull one of his legendary holdouts.
What possessed Dominik to come to that number, who knows? Perhaps again, he'd put himself into a corner and was at a point of desperation that he gave into Revis' ridiculous contract demands.
The bottom line is the asinine deal that the Buccaneers signed doomed this trade. We all tried to rationalize it. Revis is one of the best defensive players in football - he should be paid like it.
Yet with a $16 million dollar corner, the Bucs offensive and defensive lines fell apart and were left in shambles. Michael Bennett left to win a Super Bowl in Seattle. Schiano called him a situational guy.
Even Tony Dungy questioned the move, because you don't build a defense back-to-front.
When Jason Licht took over as Buccaneers GM - he saw the ridiculous contracts paid to subpar offensive linemen. He saw the bad draft picks and underperformers on the defensive line. And he saw a $16 million cornerback who played well but definitely not the best defensive player in the league deserving of a million dollars a game.
It became a conscious decision. Did the Bucs have enough talent to add a tweak here, another there and win now? Or do you nuke this thing from orbit? After all, it's the only way to be sure.
We all know now what the decision is. As word leaked that the Bucs would release Revis if a trade couldn't be consummated, Licht's job got a lot tougher. What team would trade for Revis now knowing that he might be a free agent in a couple days?
And Revis isn't making anything easier by turning down restructuring attempts. Then again, why would Revis agree to that? He's had a terrible time in Tampa, playing under an awful head coach in a town that has lost interest in their football team. If he forces the Bucs to release him - he can have his pick of destinations on his terms. Maybe even go back to the Jets. Wouldn't that be the final how do you do? The Jets get Sheldon Richardson, the Bucs 4th round pick and all they had to do was loan Revis out to the Bucs for a season and let him rehab in sunny Florida.
We didn't want to believe it did we, Bucs fans? We hoped that 4-12 was Schiano's fault. This team was better than that record. Lovie stated what we didn't want to hear, quoting the great Bill Parcells, "You are what your record says you are."
So yes, they are blowing up the roster. Chucking most of the offensive line, remaking the defensive line and yes, getting rid of the anchor around their necks derived from Dominik's last stand.
It's an embarrassment to the organization and the fanbase. None of us can believe it's happening. But it is. Let's hope they can make good use of that money and recoup some of this. Otherwise, its a devastating blow to a franchise that hasn't seen a playoff game since Jeff Garcia was quarterback.

There are many types of online casino games available online, some of them are considered to be multiplayer online casino game. These games are card games and are played at a table. The examples of such games are Blackjack and Caribbean Stud Poker. There is a need to understand the difference between single player and multiplayer online casino game.
The first thing that comes to mind when we think of multiplayer online casino game is a situation in which a number of online players play together, like land casinos; but this is actually not the case. In the single player games, the table shows seating positions of many players, but there is a restriction that only one position will be such where the cards can be dealt. Only one hand is played by the player at one time. In multiplayer online casino game, all the positions are allowed to deal the cards. It is up to the player to select the number of positions. The cards are now dealt at all positions which are selected and the player is required to play one hand at a time. Let us consider the example of Blackjack. If a player decided that he would wager at four seats, he would place the bet at four seat positions. Two cards are dealt at each position face up, by the dealer and then his own cards are dealt. Now the player would play each of the four hands, one at a go. Next to this, the dealer's hand is to be played as per the rules. The independent hands of the player are compared with the dealer's hand and the winning player hands get separate payouts.
Multiple wagers are allowed by much other multiplayer online casino game. The term multi player is to be taken in different contexts for each of the games. In video poker multiplayer online games, this term refers multi hand poker.
Microgaming, the multiplayer online casino game developer, has included this concept of multiplayer in online slot games.
A multiplayer online casino game is more appealing to the eyes and is more exciting. The biggest advantage of a multiplayer online casino game is the speed with which the hands are played out.

Muslim Groups Panic Over Cruz's Call For Muslim Neighborhood Surveillance
Jonah Bennett March 27, 2016
GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz called Tuesday for deep surveillance of Muslim neighborhoods following the terrorist attacks in Brussels, sparking panic among Muslims living in the United States.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations condemned Cruz's remarks as unconstitutional and outright said his comments render him unfit for the presidency because of "his call for fascist-like treatment of American Muslims."
What Cruz said is that it's "good law enforcement" to carefully observe neighborhoods that may have a high chance of allowing Islamic radicalism to fester.(RELATED: Astounding Eyewitness Accounts Pouring In From Brussels)
The devastating atrocities in Brussels prompted Cruz to commend the surveillance program formerly embraced by the New York Police Department.(RELATED: BREAKING NEWS: Suicide Bombings At Brussels Airport And Metro)
After 9/11, the department began developing Muslim informants to infiltrate the local Muslim community and observe it for signs of radicalism. But despite the after effects of 9/11 still burnt into the mind of Americans, the program has been shut down due to a litany of lawsuits and accusations of unfair racial profiling.
"New Yorkers want a safe and secure America," Cruz said. "New Yorkers saw firsthand the tragic consequences of radical Islamic terrorism."
Trump backed Cruz's proposal 100 percent in an interview he gave with CNN Tuesday.
One Muslim resident in Minneapolis told The Associated Press that increased surveillance will further alienate Muslims and send them into the arms of terrorist groups.
"I don't think the ideology of surveillance of a Muslim community neighborhood is the right thing to do. That will send a message that Muslim Americans are not a part of American society … and that's the message that terrorism groups are willing to hear."
Executive director of the Arab American Association of New York Linda Sarsour told The Associated Press she is scared of armed vigilantes "who are emboldened by the commentary from people like Ted Cruz and Donald Trump."
"What's scaring me more is the kind of potential fueling of these vigilantes and people who might want to take up arms and go patrol Muslim neighborhoods," she said.
The Anti-Defamation League declared that "demonizing all Muslims is a misguided and counterproductive response to the terrorist threat posed by those motivated by a radical interpretation of Islam." ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt compared Cruz's proposal to the internment of 100,000 Japanese-Americans during World War II.

Age of Empires 4 PC Game for ₹ 489 or $1
Age of Empires 4 game is officially released and available for PC gamers on Microsoft Store and Steam Store.
Relic Entertainment and World's Edge have worked together to develop this real-time strategy game. It was released by Xbox Game Studios for Windows on October 28, 2021.

With a variety of play modes, tutorials, and difficulty levels,
Age of Empires 4 has something for everyone,
whether they've been playing RTS games for decades or are just getting started.
Age of Empires 4 begins with eight civilizations, which may appear limited compared to AoE 2's initial 13 empires, but the regions represented at launch are far more evenly distributed.
However, you begin with the English — or rather, the Normans — before moving on to the Abbasids, the Delhi Sultanate, the Mongols, and the french. The Battle of Hastings and other familiar battles are reprised in Age of Empires 4, but with a few significant changes.
Play Age of Empires 4 PC Game for ₹ 489 or $1:
Steam Store and Microsoft store is selling the standard edition of Age of Empires IV for $60 or ₹ 2499.
However, with Xbox Game Pass you can play the game for ₹ 489 or $1.

I used an HDFC debit card to test it out, and it worked fine. However, it does not work with ICICI
bank cards for an unknown reason.
In the US Microsoft is offering the game pass for $1 for 3 months(usually $9.99 per month).
In the gaming world, Xbox Game Pass is renowned as Netflix for video games, and the PC version is just getting better.
There is a limited-time offer where you can save $29 by purchasing three months of Game Pass for PC for $1. To get eight months of PC Game Pass for just RS 577, you must be in India (including GST).

Q: Prove that $\frac{1}{2\pi}\frac{xdy-ydx}{x^2+y^2}$ is closed I would like to prove that $\alpha = \frac{1}{2\pi} \frac{xdy-ydx}{x^2+y^2}$ is a closed differential form on $\mathbb{R}^2-\{0\}$ . However when I apply the external derivative to this expression (and ignore the $\frac{1}{2\pi}\cdot\frac{1}{x^2+y^2}$  factor ), I get:
\begin{equation}
d \alpha = \frac{\partial x}{\partial x}dx\wedge dy +
        \frac{\partial x}{\partial y}dy\wedge dy -
        \frac{\partial y}{\partial x}dx\wedge dx -
        \frac{\partial y}{\partial y}dy\wedge dx
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
d \alpha = dx\wedge dy - dy\wedge dx
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
d \alpha = 2 dx\wedge dy
\end{equation}
Which is not closed on $\mathbb{R}^2-\{0\}$. Where is my mistake ?

A: Well, let us write $\alpha=f\cdot \omega $ with $f(x,y)=\frac{1}{x^2+y^2}$ and $\omega=xdy-ydx$. Then
\begin{align}
d\alpha=df\wedge \omega+fd\omega&=-\frac{1}{(x^2+y^2)^2}\left(2xdx+2ydy\right)\wedge\omega+
\frac{1}{x^2+y^2}2dx\wedge dy=\\
&=-\frac{1}{(x^2+y^2)^2}\left(2x^2 dx\wedge dy-2y^2dy\wedge dx\right)+
\frac{1}{x^2+y^2}2dx\wedge dy=\\
&=-\frac{1}{(x^2+y^2)^2}\cdot 2\left(x^2+y^2\right) dx\wedge dy+
\frac{1}{x^2+y^2}2dx\wedge dy=
\\
&=0.
\end{align}

A: It may be helpful to point out that $\alpha$ is, locally and up to a constant, the $d\theta$ of the (polar) angle $\theta$.  Then $d\alpha=dd\theta=0$ since one always has $d^2=0$.

BBC News – The three-month flight along the Nile
Posted on January 9, 2014 6:54 pm by Ian Pattinson
When an early British sea plane, the S.80, made a three-month expedition south down the Nile in 1914, the mechanic was unnamed in the newspaper reports. But the adventure's success depended on his expertise.

Catholic Australia - 1. Why is marriage so important to the Church? Is it always 'for keeps'?
On the basis of this promise, lifelong marriage is able to bring forth the very best in human beings because it is the source of so much hope and joy, and the context in which many people must also respond to the challenges and suffering of the human condition.
For this reason the Second Vatican Council described marriage as 'an intimate partnership of life and love'which was 'established by the Creator and endowed by him with its own proper laws (Gaudium et Spes 48). What a marriage is derives not just from social conventions but 'from the very nature of man and woman as they came from the hand of the Creator' (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1603).
Marriage is also the natural basis of the family and thus of the care of children and the continuation of human society. Properly understood, marital love 'demands indissolubility and faithfulness in definitive mutual giving' (John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio: Apostolic Exhortation on the Family (1981) 13).
Catholics consider marriage to be a sacrament – an effective, visible sign of God's grace – which tells of God's faithful and creative love and makes it real in that couple's lives. As a sacrament of the Church, 'holy matrimony' consecrates human love, sexuality, and procreation to a higher purpose.
Although divorce had been permitted with Judaism, Christ restored God's original order of creation with its high ideals for marriage and family. Christ gave married couples the example and the strength to live marriage in 'the reign of God'(Catechism 1615).
As St Paul says: 'Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her.' (Eph 5:25). Just as God's covenant with his people is 'for keeps', so, Jesus insisted, Christian marriage is indissoluble: 'what God has united, man must not divide' (Mt 19:6).

Steppenwolf then grabs Silas Stone, which Cyborg shots Steppenwolf and saves his father, and Wonder Woman helps out by attacking the Parademons and taking Steppenwolf to a different part of the factory. While Batman fights the Parademons, Barry goes and save one of the employees. Steppenwolf tells the Parademons that he will deal with Diana alone; meanwhile, Batman is being attacked by one of the Parademons as he tells Alfred that he needs the Knightcrawler, which he sent the machine to Bruce.
This volume of James Robinson's run on Wonder Woman shows signs that all the good faith DC comics gain from fans is slowly becoming disappointing. This is very troubling seeing how I have enjoyed James Robinson's writing in many other comic book series. I do agree with many of the other reviewers this volume has some really great art but the story is at times flawed or mediocre. My biggest gripe is with the character of Jason. To me it just felt like throughout this arc of the story they mad Jas ...more
Diana sees Sir Patrick Morgan in the base, who reveals himself to be the true Ares, and tells her of his plan for a world without humanity by having them destroy each other. Ares proposes that Diana help him accomplish his vision of paradise, but Diana promptly refuses, not wanting to kill billions of innocents. Ares then reluctantly engages her in an epic battle while Steve and his comrades attempt to dismantle the plane harboring the mustard gas.
Wonder Woman's appearance in the early golden age of comics made her the first prominent female superheroine. The psychologist William Moulton Marston created Wonder Woman somewhat as a counter reaction to the presence of prominent male superheroes (at this time Superman, Batman and Captain America), as well as a counterbalance to the "blood curdling masculinity" that was dominant at the time, with the hopes that the character could serve as an inspiration for young children (though in certain ways it was geared more towards female readers.) Marston had been partially motivated to create this character because of the accomplishments of his own wife, who was also an accomplished academic at a time when it was difficult for women to fulfill this role. As a result, the first Wonder Woman series contained many complementary articles and features which sought to highlight the inner power of women. There were articles for instance on the different career paths that women could pursue (according to the standards of the 1940s) as well as a series of stories on famous and accomplished women, called the Wonder Women of History. Marston introduced the character in All-Star Comics #8 in 1941. She became the lead character in Sensation Comics in 1941, and got her first solo book in 1942.
In 2016, DC Comics once again relaunched all of its publications as part of the "DC Rebirth" continuity reboot, and the new fifth volume of Wonder Woman was released bi-monthly with writer Greg Rucka. This fifth volume of Wonder Woman is part of the "DC Universe", the current continuity established after Rebirth. Initially, the new series does not use a regular storyline that exists between each issue; instead two separate storylines share the book, with an installment of one story published every other issue, and those of the other storyline published in between those. This practice began with the storyline "The Lies" for the odd numbered issues, and "Year One" for the even numbered issues. The new storyline as presented in these issues effectively retcons the events from the previous New 52 series. "The Lies"[51] storyline reveals that a number of events from the previous Wonder Woman series in which Diana was made the Queen of the Amazons and the God of War, was in fact all an illusion created by a mysterious villain, and she had never once been back to Themyscira ever since she left, nor is she capable of returning there. The "Year One" story is presented as an all-new origin story for Diana,[52] which reveals how she received her powers from the Olympian Gods,[53] which was intended to bring her back to her classical DC roots. Wonder Woman appears in DC Rebirth with a revised look, which includes a red cape and light armor fittings. Along with her lasso and bracelets, she now regularly utilizes her sword and shield. Wonder Woman: Rebirth artist Liam Sharp described the new armor as a utilitarian piece which allows her to move more freely.[54] Starting from Issue 26, the series returned to a regular storyline between each issue.
Wonder Woman has been the subject of a discussion regarding the appearance and representation of female power in general, and of female action heroes in particular[225] since her initial 1941 appearance in Sensation Comics,[225] as she was created to document "the growth in the power of women", while wearing "a golden tiara, a red bustier, blue underpants and knee-high, red leather boots."[226] She was blacklisted a year later in 1942 in the "Publications Disapproved for Youth" because, the group behind the list argued, she was "not sufficiently dressed".[226][227]
Wonder Woman, Hermes and Zola is at a café where a guy called Lennox, who knew that Zola is pregnant with Zeus and who Wonder Woman and Hermes really is arrived there, and tells to Wonder Woman that he is Diana's brother. He tells to Diana that she has to be at the London Bridge at six, or she'd regret it. She's there at six, and Poseidon arrives, and tells Diana that he wants to be the new god of the gods, whereas Lennox goes into a cave shown to him by Hermes, and there he meets Hades who also wants to claim the throne of the Heavens. After Hera arrives, Wonder Woman tricks all of them, and Hades goes back into his cave, and tricks Zola to come to him and kidnap her, he told Diana that they struck a bargain, and when she has fulfilled her's, she shall get Zola back.
Wertham's papers, housed at the Library of Congress, were only opened to researchers in 2010. They suggest that Wertham's antipathy toward Bender had less to do with the content of the comics than with professional rivalry. (Paul Schilder, Bender's late husband, had been Wertham's boss for many years.) Wertham's papers contain a scrap on which he compiled a list he titled "Paid Experts of the Comic Book Industry Posing as Independent Scholars." First on the list as the comic book industry's number one lackey was Bender, about whom Wertham wrote: "Boasted privately of bringing up her 3 children on money from crime comic books."
In one episode, a newspaper editor named Brown, desperate to discover Wonder Woman's past, assigns a team of reporters to chase her down; she easily escapes them. Brown, gone half mad, is committed to a hospital. Wonder Woman disguises herself as a nurse and brings him a scroll. "This parchment seems to be the history of that girl you call 'Wonder Woman'!" she tells him. "A strange, veiled woman left it with me." Brown leaps out of bed and races back to the city desk, where he cries out, parchment in hand, "Stop the presses! I've got the history of Wonder Woman!" But Wonder Woman's secret history isn't written on parchment. Instead, it lies buried in boxes and cabinets and drawers, in thousands of documents, housed in libraries, archives and collections spread all over the United States, including the private papers of creator Marston—papers that, before I saw them, had never before been seen by anyone outside of Marston's family.

Pastor "Healed" from Permanently Damaged Voice While Preaching on Healing
Background research was conducted into this story to determine its reliability, and it appears that Duane Miller's healing is legitimate. It has become a widely cited "miracle" too (1). T
In 1990, Miller was serving as the senior pastor at First Baptist Church in Brenham, Texas when he contracted a flu virus (2). According to Miller: "In January, I contracted a flu virus that ultimately penetrated the mylan sheath of my vocal folds and damaged the nerve tissue beyond repair" (3). The damage of the virus on his vocal folds was significant as it permanently damaged nerve tissue. Miller sought after medical care because, as one might expect, a pastor's voice is essential to the occupation. Over the following three years Miller says that he:
"was seen by over 63 specialists and their teams (totaling over 200 doctors) as they tried to diagnose and treat me. I had been left with a voice that sounded like the worst case of laryngitis you have ever heard, and could only make that if I screamed at the top of my lungs."
Given his inability to speak clearly, Miller resigned from his post in 1991 saying that "Everything I had ever done to earn a living had been connected to my ability to speak and suddenly my "tool kit" was gone." He soon moved to Houston where he and his wife took up residence. Miller's wife stood in as the primary breadwinner for the family while he took up a role as a private investigator. This left him feeling enormously unfulfilled: "A dear friend gave me a job as a private investigator working in an area where my voice was unimportant, but I ached to do the ministry to which I had been called."
Miller and his wife began attending Houston's First Baptist Church and one year later he was asked to teach an adult Sunday school class (4). He declined at first, fearing that no-one would be able to understand him, but after some persistence he agreed,
"In April 1992, the teacher of the Catacombs [a Sunday School class that had first met in the basement of the church hence the name] had to take some time away for personal reasons. Our directors (a husband and wife) asked if I would fill in while a permanent replacement was sought. I protested that I was too hard to understand which was met with "we'll listen REALLY carefully." I have come to understand that they asked, not because I was such a profound teacher, but because they loved me and knew how desperately I needed to teach."
But the despair and pain Miller had felt days prior overwhelmed even to the point of suicide, "Two days previous, I had sat for hours in my living room with a shotgun in my mouth and I had come to the end of myself." He came through this and on January 17, 1993, was scheduled to teach through Psalm 103, which was the curriculum assigned from the "Bible Book Series." But Miller says he experienced intense feelings of conflict and doubt, "I stood to teach the class of 150 or more on that morning. I had never been more emotionally drained than I was that morning. I had never had less faith than I did that morning."
Yet the idea that through Christ's death on the cross God had forgiven all of our sins sat well with him, "I had no problem with that discussion," he explains. Yet when it came to the part of the sermon in which healing was at the forefront of the message Miller remembers struggling greatly, "But, when I began to talk about healing, my words were, "I still believe God heals," while my thoughts were, "but why not me?" I moved through that discussion as honestly as I could and began my third thought: He redeems my life from the pit." That is when Miller says the healing occurred,
"I began my discourse, "I have had, and you have had, in times past, pit experiences." On the word, "pit," the pressure that had been in my throat for three years was gone as if someone had removed their hand from choking me."
Fortunately because the church recorded sermons to make them available for those not in attendance, one is able to access the YouTube recording in which Miller says the moment of healing took place (see 01:49 in the clip). Miller continues,
"I continued, startled, "We've all had times when our life seemed to be in a pit, in a grave, and we didn't have an answer for the pit we find ourselves in." While I was speaking, I was swallowing choke-free, and I'll never forget my thought, is that what I think it is?"
Miller visited the doctors over the following days, all of whom confirmed that his voice had been fully restored, "Doctors confirmed that it was what I thought it was when I saw them the following days. My voice has been totally restored, and to quote my lead physician, "I can't find any evidence that you ever had a voice problem"… the event was caught on tape in the most casual way. The event changed my life and has affected literally millions of people worldwide."
Miller's story has reached many people through his book and he also has an online ministry called Nuvoice where he speaks further about his remarkable experience. Yet what does Miller have to say to those listening to his story?
"From that day to this I celebrate the restoration of my vocal ability. I wrote of the experience the following week and described it in terms that likened it to Lazarus coming from the grave. My gratitude and my emotions have not waned in 20 years… God has used me as an object lesson of His grace and power. I have appeared on the Oprah show and have shared my story with one little lady in a nursing home who could not speak, but wept as I related the timeless story of His Goodness. I still go wherever the opportunity is given to share the story and I will do so until I am physically unable to do so.
Listen and believe this…if God could do that for me, He can solve whatever problem you have in your life. He loves you every bit as much as He loves me.
We've been saying it for 20 years …
and counting."

Duane Miller's Healing
Previous The Challenge of God's Violence in the Old Testament to Christianity
Next Examining the Historical-Theological Implications of Biblical Genocide [Part 1]
Jim M. says:
I have been aware of quite a few undeniably miraculous healings over the years, often at the hands of shy, timid people who didn't really expect GOD to work through them. On the other hand, I have also known of godly men and women who have lost their lives to diseases such as cancer – despite unwavering prayers with faithful expectation of healing. Nabeel Qureshi, who posted regular 'vlog' updates during his battle with cancer, spoke of praying with presumptive expectation of healing, and yet he died without being healed.
This may seem to present a traumatic dilemma, but I think a key question is this:
Is physical death the worst thing that can happen to someone? Many people will accept or reject GOD'S offer of Grace through Jesus Christ based on the outcome of their request for a miracle. But I am convinced that GOD has provided all the proof that we require to make an informed decision concerning our eternal destiny.
I read about Nabeel's cancer diagnosis months ago, and saw on facebook that many were praying (including a call to corporate prayer) for Nabeel after his diagnosis. I sent him my thoughts and prayers as well (though I am agnostic). In spite of so much prayer and three alleged encounters with "prophets," he died.
I also watched Nabeel's YouTube "Vlog 010 – Do Not Despise Prophetic Utterances" in which he cited 1 Thessalonians 5:20, "Do not despise prophet utterances."
In that vlog Nabeel mentioned that he went to a church in Houston for prayer and his friend Justin had Nabeel stand up and receive prayer, including a laying on of hands. Nabeel left early, because he had undergone an exhausting session of chemo that day, but his friend Justin later told Nabeel that after the service Justin had received a text from one woman, and presumably had a second different women come up to him in person, both saying that they "have words to share from the Lord" concerning Nabeel. The gist of both of their prophetic utterances were, "We saw in a vision that Nabeel was attacked by the enemy through his spine. We believe that Satan found entrance to his stomach through his spine, and we suggest going to see a chiropractor and praying against anything which might have entered in that way." Since it was allegedly two different women with the same message from the Lord (and not the same woman texting and then walking up to Justin) Nabeel tried seeing a chiropractor.
On the way to see the chiropractor, a friend of Nabeel's who was driving, had to stop at a church, (Houston's First Baptist, to which Nabeel had been going to quite frequently) where a third woman noticed Nabeel and asked if he was the one who had preached there a few weeks ago (a sermon in which his cancer diagnosis had been mentioned presumably by Nabeel or others). Nabeel says this third woman said she had received a vision from God back when Nabeel had been preaching, but she didn't know how to get in touch with Nabeel to tell him about it that day, so she told the Lord, "If you want me to share this vision with Nabeel please bring him across my path," and she added, "Here you are today." She then told Nabeel that she had a vision of Nabeel lying on his back and a man coming up to Nabeel, a man who had himself been healed, and laying on top of Nabeel, imparting healing to Nabeel." (Compare stories in 1 Kings 17:17-24, 2 Kings 4:18-37 where two Hebrew prophets each "stretched themselves out" upon a person, eye to eye, hand to hand, to raise them from the dead. Perhaps this woman had read her Old Testament?)
The chiropractor x-rayed Nabeel's spine and told him that his spine was starkly misaligned in two places, one of them being the spot where nerves reach the stomach and esophagus, so the Chiropractor aligned Nabeel's spine, and Nabeel was feeling great, and the second time Nabeel went back to the Chiropractor the Chiropractor told Nabeel that he spoke with another Chiropractor who guessed based on the stomach and esophageal cancer diagnosis that Nabeel was misaligned in the two places shown in Nabeel's x-rays, because that second chiropractor had treated patients with stomach cancer who had the same misalignments. Nabeel concluded that his encounters with the three women seem to have been verified as authentic prophecies.
Nabeel added that he believes God is a healer, and that "I take His word seriously" that "He took on our infirmities, bore our diseases (Isa. 53 and Matthew 8);" and, "Whatever we pray for, if we believe we have received it, it will be given to us (Mark 11);" Nabeel added, "All this to say, I believe I will be healed, I believe the Lord is in the process of healing me."
Nabeel's video from which I am quoting above was Published on Dec 1, 2016 on youtube.
Personally, I would like to know more about the first two women (it also might just be one woman if her text name differed from her real name, or if one woman overheard another and was sharing that message, making it appear like two separate women were involved), and I would like to know if the woman/women were prone to speaking about Satan entering via the spine of other people, or if they had perhaps picked such talk up from some televangelists they were watching, or perhaps they were fans of chiropractic or back massage themselves? I would also like to know how many people with misalignments in those two areas don't die of cancer. And also how many people with esophageal and stomach cancer don't have misalignments in those particular areas. Actually, those two misalignments, such as the atlas vertebrae, are very common due to the weight of the head and the many ways it can turn compared with other vertebrae. While the T5 thoracic vertebrae is also at a critical point in the spine, right in the middle of the curve between the shoulders which receives a lot of pressure being where it is. So it is not unusual at all for those two vertebrae to be out of joint. As for the healing Nabeel believed was in the very process of taking place due to standing on biblical promises, I don't deny people their beliefs (though I find such beliefs debatable), nor take pleasure in their deaths. We all suffer. Christians, Muslims, agnostics and atheists all get cancer. I liked Nabeel, a very loving person. He reminded me of myself when I was on fire for the Lord as a teen and early adulthood in college. The fires eventually cooled down and I began asking more questions and admitting I had fewer definitive answers.
Yet another female Christian who claims to have received visions from God concerning Nabeel, commented:
Kirsty Nelson "Noooooooo!!!!!!!! I felt such JOY for him earlier in the Spirit. I saw white garments coming down to clothe him from heaven… I was convinced the prophetic word he got from the Lord that he would see his children's children was true."
P.S., I have studied many conversion and deconversion stories trying to make sense of what to believe. See my piece that questions the uniqueness of the Christian experience and that cites many different conversion stories of people converting in different directions. https://infidels.org/library/modern/ed_babinski/experience.html

Not to mention this list with extensive links to things Christians have been against. https://edward-t-babinski.blogspot.com/2012/03/list-of-things-christians-have-been.html
And the added question of whether Christianity invented charity and how charitable Christians are compared with others. https://edwardtbabinski.us/scrivenings/2012/charity-and-nonreligious.html
It is one I've thought of very often. Why does God heal some faithful and not others? However, looking at it evidentially, the evidence supports miracle healing, as I have discovered. The reasons as to why God does not heal every faithful Christian or some faithful Christians is a separate issue. It is specifically one full of emotional charge and significance, and an important one as a result.
Better edited response, please use this one
A miracle? I suspect his throat was healing over those two years, but he was neurologically used to speaking as he had to speak when it remained injured and was still healing. That kept his voice gravely, the constant expectation and usage of having to force nis voice out. Like riding a damaged bike for years and having to keep one's knees out at an awkward angle and one's body tilted at an awkward angle, and having to press extra hard in the pedals due to a sticky wheel chain assembly.
But after his throat reached a certain point of healing after two years, it took the right moment for his voice to relax and his brain to rediscover the old less tense way of speaking. Kind of like getting a bike that was repaired and riding it around in the same awkward way until one suddenly loosens up and recalls how one used to sit before the bike was damaged, more upright and comfortably with your knees straight, and not having to press extra hard on the pedals, and suddenly you are really riding a bike again in full force.
Again, like riding a bike, one often starts out wobbly and can't stay up on two wheels. But once you get the feel, just once, of being on two wheels and in control then one has suddenly gone from falling over after every effort to actually being in control.
Peripheral nerves can and do heal over time if you keep using them as he did for those two years. It is only the vertebral nerves that get permanently damaged.
Quite the coincidence don't you think, Edward?
Miller having lived with a condition for three whole years, visiting countless doctors who couldn't heal him, never healing and only to heal on a stage in a church during a sermon that included teaching on healing that he had tried long and hard to get out of but, for some reason, he ended up teaching because he was approached.
I'm incredulous that it is anything but a healing because God wanted to heal him there and then.

"The Most Magical Place on Earth" has some pretty magical bachelorette party options too.
Is Disney World your happy place? You're not alone. From the majestic castle, friendly faces, fond childhood memories, and uniqueness of each theme park, it's the ideal destination for anyone looking for a fun (and slightly magical) getaway. While Disney World is known worldwide as a family destination, it also makes for a pretty perfect bachelorette weekend. Yes, it's totally possible to have an "adult" Disney bachelorette without princess and character overload—we promise. Here's how!
Believe it or not, Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, offers incredible experiences for relaxation and pampering. The resort boasts 11 spas, six of which offer spa services and massages unique to your personal preferences. For a truly unique experience, head to the Mandara Spa within the Dolphin hotel. With a Balinese-inspired theme, you can begin your spa day within the Meditation or Tea Garden before indulging in a variety of services. Opt for the full "Mediterranean Journey," which begins with a Welcoming Ritual followed by Elemis Cellutox Aroma Spa Ocean Wrap, Elemis Pro-Collagen Quartz Lift Facial, Citrus Body Gloss, and Mediterranean Bathing Ritual, culminating with delicious Mediterranean inspired tea. This, and all spa treatments within the resort are once-in-a-lifetime experiences with their own touch of Disney magic while being completely princess free.
Disney World Resort actually has world-class dining opportunities (especially if you visit Epcot during the annual Food and Wine Festival). Within each resort lies unique dining options, ranging from quick service to gourmet and fine dining. For a bachelorette, check out Spirit of Aloha Dinner Show at the Luau Cove within the Polynesian hotel. In its tropical, energetic atmosphere, you'll fill up on Polynesian favorites while surrounded by the music and traditional dances of Hawaii, New Zealand, and other cultures, as well as (of course) a full-service bar.
Equally incredible dining options exist within the theme parks themselves too. While in Epcot, you and your girl squad can hole up at the Biergarten in the Germany pavilion, a traditionally styled German beer hall. Grab a long table and hit the buffet as you fuel up on traditional sausages, sides, and steins of beer. Cheers!
Aside from the endless offerings in Epcot, three of the four major theme parks offer beer and cocktails for your enjoyment throughout the day, with the exception of the Magic Kingdom, where they're only available at certain sit-down restaurants.
A visit in the warmer months is perfectly complemented with some good ol' R&R at some of the incredible pools. If staying on property, you can enjoy full access to these outdoor oasis, with a fan favorite being the pool at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. With two pools to choose from, the Beach Pool is 111,261 gallons of refreshing water alongside a lounge and bar, while the Courtyard Pool is a bit quieter and also has a relaxing whirlpool spa. Essential for groups, poolside cabanas are also available for rent, so grab a few for your group as a home base and enjoy lounge chairs, towels, television, speakers, fans, and a fridge for all your snacks.
While nightlife might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Disney World, perhaps it should be. Disney's BoardWalk and Disney Springs are two non-theme-park locations. The BoardWalk, styled after some of the country's most beautiful seaside attractions, features games, restaurants, bars, and shops that make awesome destinations for a night out. Head to Jellyrolls (21 and over!), where you can enjoy dueling pianos and singalongs before you dance the night away at Atlantic Dance Hall, a popular nightclub. Disney Springs (formerly known as Downtown Disney) also offers world-class dining and tons of night-time fun. Check out Cirque Du Soleil's La Nouba, live entertainment at House of Blues, or some cold pints and traditional Irish entertainment at Raglan Road. With endless options to choose from, you'll find something for everyone when the sun goes down.

Who doesn't love cupcakes, especially white wedding cake style cupcakes. Wedding cake has to be one of my most favorite flavors. Yes, I consider 'wedding cake' a flavor. That could have something to do with the fact that I grew up on 'wedding cake' flavored snow cones during the summer, or just that wedding cake is known for being rich and decadent.
You know... sort of like Christian Grey.
Speaking of Christian Grey, with the final movie of the trilogy coming out, I thought what better time than now to whip up some Skinny White Wedding Cupcakes to eat while watching the movie! There's nothing like celebrating the Fifty Shades wedding than with some wedding cake of your own.
I have loved watching the story of Christian and Anna unfold and lead in to the big day. The first thing's first though, you need the movie! I got a copy of the Fifty Shades Freed (Blu-ray combo pack + exclusive packaging + photo gallery inside) at my local Walmart. This Exclusive DVD is available only at Walmart too.
While you're there, grab all the things you need to make your Skinny White Wedding Cupcakes! To make these cupcakes, I basically added to a boxed mix to make it taste completely homemade. It's a trick I learned many-a-year ago from my mom who used to work in a bakery. However, I made sure that my additions/substitutions were also lightening these cakes up and lowering the sugar.
Hey, we've got to keep our Anna like figures for Mr. Grey, right?!
The frosting is completely homemade, and let me just tell you that it is finger licking good, Mr. Grey. Even with being better-for-you. That's right! I swapped out half of the powdered sugar for a powdered sugar substitute and it's still perfectly sweet.
These cupcakes turned out beautifully. The cake is one of my all time favorites. ...And that's saying a lot. I've eaten my fair share of cake in my time. And the frosting? Well, let's just say my mom was over when I was making it and she was all but licking the bowl.
I got exactly 12 cupcakes out of the batch, making it perfect for a girls night watch party. The recipe is very easily doubled though, to give you a full 24 cupcakes if you've got a lot of girlfriends to share with!
Lightened up wedding cake cupcakes that are made by upgrading a boxed mix and making homemade frosting.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. and line a cupcake tin with paper liners. Give the paper liners a light coat of non-stick baking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, or the base of a stand mixer, whisk together the 1/2 box of cake mix, 1/2 C. flour, 1/4 C. sugar, 1/4 C. sweetener and 1/4 Tsp. salt.
Add in the 1/2 C. milk, 2 1/2 Tbsp. milk, 1/2 C. greek yogurt, 2 egg whites, 1 Tbsp. butter, and 1/2 Tsp. vanilla.
Beat together on a medium speed for a minute or two, or until combined well and no lumps remain.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners in the tin. Mine ended up being about 3/4 of the way full.
Place the pan in the oven and back for 18-20 minutes or until the cakes have cooked through and spring forth when touched.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow to cool slightly before removing the cakes from the tin to continue to cool.
Once the cupcakes are nearly cooled, place the 1/4 C. shortening and 1/4 C. butter into a large bowl or the base of a stand mixer and beat together on a medium speed for a few minutes or until light and fluffy.
Add in the 1/2 Tsp. vanilla and reduce the speed to low. Slowly add in the 1 C. powdered sugar and 1 C. powdered sugar substitute.
Increase the speed back to medium and beat for another minute or two, adding in the milk as needed to thin the frosting if needed.
Frost or pipe the frosting onto your cupcakes as you prefer and decorate with any sprinkles, sugars, or nonpareils.
Enjoy right away or store in the fridge or at room temperature for 3-5 days!
