Alaska Cruises & The Rockies
Alaska Cruises offer you a chance to discover a land untainted by the modern world. Embark on an unforgettable trip and discover Alaska's incredible sceneries. Imagine the otherworldly experience of viewing the humpback whales breaching in the icy water against a backdrop of breath-taking blue and white glaciers and awe-inspiring mountain ranges, all of which enjoyed from the comfort of your cruise ship. Visualise being surrounded by the lush greenery of the rainforest, thrilled by the sheer size and magnificent strength of the bears lumbering around; one of the many shore excursion trips available during your cruise of Alaska.
You will encounter rarely seen wildlife, an Alaska cruise allows you the chance to be a true explorer and view the mysterious creatures of the deep, a variety of migrating whales in icy water: humpback, gray whales, killer whales, blue whales, and beluga whales. View endangered species such as bald-headed eagles spreading their wings and circling above you, and observe the amusing characteristics of otters and seals as they tumble in the water or play on the shore. Go on shore excursions where you can watch species up close, including grizzly or brown bears as they feed on the salmon streams or lumber around in the rainforest.
Alaska's stunning vistas present endless opportunities for stunning landscape photography, but be careful not to become overwhelmed by its natural beauty. As your cruise ship passes the Hubbard Glacier, composed of an incredible 1,350 square miles of ice, you may find yourself so awestruck that you forget to take a picture!
Make sure you have a good camera to capture the dazzling spectrum of blues, pinks, and yellow reflections dancing across the surface of glaciers and the soaring heights of the snowy mountains. You'll find so many photo opportunities when you cruise through Alaska's Inside Passage with its beautiful islands and fjords. For a change of scenery, trek through misty trails in the fertile green rain forest, with trees coated in moss and lichen, surrounded by colourful fauna.
You can immerse yourself in a rich and cultural history, retrace the last steps of the gold rush at Skagway. Be part of the unique melting pot of Sitka – made up of Alaskan Natives and Russian. Learn about First Nations culture at Ketchikan.
Main departure and arrival points for Alaska cruises
Alaska cruises differ to most cruise holidays as they tend to be round trips, which is good news for you as it means flight tickets will be cheaper and booking can be less hassle. The majority of Alaskan cruises start in the US or Canada which means you will have a fantastic opportunity to start or end your trip with an exploration of iconic landmarks, regional cuisine, and the culture of exciting cities. There is a delightful choice of Vancouver, Chicago, Seattle, or San Francisco. Or for something truly extraordinary you could book the only cruise which starts in Reykjavik, Iceland and ends up in Vancouver with Royal Caribbean.
Alaska Cruise Add-Ons
The great advantage of going on an Alaska cruise which starts or ends in Seattle of Vancouver is that you can add on a train trip to the Canadian Rockies, considered one of the greatest journeys in the world. You pass through parks which have been given the UNESCO World Heritage classification for the area's "exceptional natural beauty". Trips usually from 4-7 days.
The best time to cruise Alaska
Alaska cruises start from late April to September and it will be a remarkable trip no matter the month you choose. However, there are best times to go, depending on your priorities.
On a budget or want to avoid the crowds? Due to the unpredictable weather, late April, May, and September are the least popular months to visit Alaska and therefore tend to be cheaper. May, in particular, is considered offseason and prices tend to be the lowest. Due to the changeable weather, there is a chance that shore excursions could be canceled unfortunately offering a little less opportunity to see the wildlife.
Alaska's warmest months? June to August is Alaska's warmest period with temperatures ranging from 60 – 70 degrees Fahrenheit. However, it is worth noting that the temperature in Alaska is changeable; the day may start out cold, even freezing and by the afternoon you could be treated to glorious sunshine. The sun sets very late in Alaska, at around 8 pm - 10 pm, so you can enjoy many hours of beautiful views.
Passionate about wildlife? In Alaska, you can catch a glimpse of some amazing wildlife all year round, but if it is bears you are looking for, you are most likely to see them during the salmon runs during July and August. This is also the time seals and sea lions give birth, which is an amazing sight to behold.
Due to the variety of whales inhabiting the waters surrounding Alaska, you should be able to spot them anytime, especially if you go on a specific whale excursion. Don't forget to ask our specialist about these!
It's not guaranteed, but there is a chance you could glimpse the elusive 'Aurora borealis in September.
A few things to note... Expect the weather to change rapidly during your Alaska cruise, it could be scorching and then suddenly become extremely windy and cold. We recommend wearing layers that can quickly be shed or put on, and make sure to also pack waterproof clothes. It is also worth noting that you will also be in freezing conditions when viewing the glaciers and will, therefore, need thermal wear.
You may be disappointed if you forget to bring binoculars as they will allow you to really zoom in on the spectacular wildlife. We would also recommend investing in a high-quality pair of polarized sunglasses to cut the glare on the ice and see all the colours vividly.

Formatting iPhones and iPads, as well as Android smartphones and tablets, in such a way as to make data recovery impossible is a simple and quick operation — thanks to the latest encryption tools.
When formatting the memory of a PC, a Mac, a smartphone or a tablet before selling it, the data is not completely erased. The software limits itself to making the disk "overwritable," without proceeding with the physical removal of the data present. With the right programs, the next owner of the device could retrieve sensitive information.
On Windows and Linux PC you can use specialized programs for secure formatting, while on Mac you can select various options to rewrite data on the hard disk directly from the "Disk Utility" tool, integrated on macOS.
On the iPhone and iPad, the formatting procedure is already secure, while on older Android devices it may be necessary to go one step further to prevent data recovery.
On iOS devices, factory data reset is sufficient to safely delete data on your phone or tablet. To start, open the Settings and tap General and then Reset (at the bottom of the list). From this menu select, "Erase all content and settings." Various subsequent messages will ask you to confirm the operation. To proceed with the formatting you will be asked for the credentials to access iCloud, so that the device can disable "Find my iPhone" before proceeding.
The procedure is quick because the disk is not actually overwritten. However, restoring makes recovery impossible, because iOS automatically encrypts all data on the device. Cancellation deletes the cryptographic key necessary for decoding, making it impossible to perform any subsequent attempt to read the information.
From version 6.0 of Android, the device's encryption is a standard setting on all new smartphones. If a phone or tablet has been upgraded to Android 6.0 from a previous version, however, there is a good chance that the device is not yet encrypted. In this case, the factory data restore operation is not sufficient to ensure that the data cannot be recovered.
Before formatting your smartphone or tablet, make sure that the device encryption is active: open the settings and then the Security panel. From here, check the status of the "Phone crypt" or "Tablet crypt" option and if necessary start the encryption operation. You will be guided to set a password and then wait about an hour for the operation to conclude. Make sure that the battery level of the device is at maximum or, to avoid any risk, connect the device to the power supply.
Once the encryption is complete, you can proceed with the secure formatting of the device. The option is available in the menu General> Backup and Reset> Factory data reset. Of course, make sure you have backed up your device before proceeding.

There is about him something that seems to soothe and hypnotize. To the best of my knowledge, he has never encountered a charging rhinoceros, but should this contingency occur, I have no doubt that the animal, meeting his eye, would check itself in mid-stride, roll over and lie purring with its legs in the air.
"Bertie, do you read Tennyson?"
"Not if I can help."
Like so many infants of tender years he presented to the eye the aspect of a mass murderer suffering from an ingrowing toenail.
I mean to say, I know perfectly well that I've got, roughly speaking, half the amount of brain a normal bloke ought to possess. And when a girl comes along who has about twice the regular allowance, she too often makes a bee line for me with the love light in her eyes. I don't know how to account for it, but it is so." "It may be Nature's provision for maintaining the balance of the species, sir.
His eyes were rolling in their sockets, and his face had taken on the colour and expression of a devout tomato. I could see he loved like a thousand bricks.
At five minutes to eleven on the morning named he was at the station, a false beard and spectacles shielding his identity from the public eye. If you had asked him he would have said that he was a Scotch business man. As a matter of fact, he looked far more like a motor-car coming through a haystack.
[of Spode] He was, as I had already been able to perceive, a breath-taking cove. About seven feet in height, and swathed in a plaid ulster which made him look about six feet across, he caught the eye and arrested it. It was as if Nature had intended to make a gorilla and had changed its mind at the last moment.
'Don't you like this hat?'
'No, sir.'
'Well, I do,' I replied rather cleverly, and went out with it tilted just that merest shade over the left eye which makes all the difference.
It was the being without advisers that made the situation bleak. On these occasions when Fate, having biffed you in the eye, proceeds to kick you in the pants, you want to gather the boys about you and thresh things out, and there weren't any boys to gather..
Roderick Spode? Big chap with a small moustache and the sort of eye that can open an oyster at sixty paces?
It was one of those cold, clammy, accusing sort of eyes—the kind that makes you reach up to see if your tie is straight: and he looked at me as I were some sort of unnecessary product which Cuthbert the Cat had brought in after a ramble among the local ash-cans.
As far as the eye could reach, I found myself gazing on a surging sea of aunts. There were tall aunts, short aunts, stout aunts, thin aunts, and an aunt who was carrying on a conversation in a low voice to which nobody seemed to be paying the slightest attention.
It was that strange, almost unearthly light which comes into the eyes of wronged uncles when they see a chance of getting a bit of their own back from erring nephews.
She had hair the color of ripe wheat and eyes of cornflower blue. Add a tiptilted nose and a figure as full of curves as a scenic railway, and it will not strike you as strange that Stilton... should have stood gaping at her dumbly.
Unlike the male codfish which, suddenly finding itself the parent of three million five hundred thousand little codfish, cheerfully resolves to love them all, the British aristocracy is apt to look with a somewhat jaundiced eye on its younger sons.
She had a beaky nose, tight thin lips, and her eye could have been used for splitting logs in the teak forests of Borneo.
I had not failed to interpret the significance of that dark frown, that bitten lip and those flashing eyes, nor the way the willowy figure had quivered, indicating, unless she had caught a chill, that she was as sore as a sunburned neck.
A young man with dark circles under his eyes was propping himself up against a penny-in-the-slot machine. An undertaker, passing at that moment, would have looked at this young man sharply, scenting business. So would a buzzard.
I don't know if you have had the same experience, but a thing I have found in life is that from time to time, as you jog along, there occur moments which you are able to recognize immediately with the naked eye as high spots. Something tells you that they are going to remain etched, if etched is the word I want, for ever on the memory and will come back to you at intervals down the years, as you are dropping off to sleep, banishing that drowsy feeling and causing you to leap on the pillow like a gaffed salmon.
Nature, when planning this sterling fellow, shoved in a lot more lower jaw than was absolutely necessary and made the eyes a bit too keen and piercing for one who was neither an Empire builder nor a traffic policeman.
Died: February 14, 1975 (aged 93)

Q: ElasticSearch & Tire. Search for an object with nested attributes I've spent several hours trying to solve the problem. I hope someone can help me.
First, here's some code to illustrate the structure:
class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Tire::Model::Search
  include Tire::Model::Callbacks

  attr_accessible :name, :website, :addresses_attributes

  has_many :addresses, dependent: :destroy
  accepts_nested_attributes_for :addresses, allow_destroy: true

  after_touch() { tire.update_index }

  include_root_in_json = false

  mapping do
    indexes :name, boost: 10
    indexes :addresses do
      indexes :street
    end
  end

  def self.search(params)
    s = tire.search(load: true) do

    query do
      boolean do
        must { string params[:query] } if params[:query]
        must { term "addresses.street", params[:location] } if params[:location]
      end
    end

    s.results
  end

  def to_indexed_json
    to_json( include: { addresses: { only: [:street] } } )
  end
end

class Address < ActiveRecord::Base
  # Attributes
  attr_accessible :street

  # Associations
  belongs_to :company, touch: true
end

When I'm trying to search for company with particular street name (calling Company.search({location: 'example_street_name', query: 'example_name'}) I get no results.
Indexing looks fine for me. That's one of the requests:
curl -X POST "http://localhost:9200/companies/company/1351" -d '{
  "created_at": "2012-12-29T13:41:17Z",
  "name": "test name",
  "updated_at": "2012-12-29T13:41:17Z",
  "website": "text.website.com",
  "addresses": [
    {
      "street": "test street name"
    }
  ]
}'

I've tried many things to get the results. Nothing worked. It seems I must have missed something basic.

A: You're using a term query for the "addresses.street" field, which is not analyzed, so you must pass in lowercased etc. values.
Try using the match query.

Sanjay was an enigma to Payal. She didn't understand why he always reserved a seat for her in the college bus next to him and then kept mum throughout the journey. He would always be busy reading books on his kindle. She wondered why he was named as chatterbox in his gang when she had hardly heard him speak. A few syllables accompanied by hand gestures was all the response she could elicit from him. She hated him and his silence.
Then came the day when they were paired as Darcy and Elizabeth in the drama of Pride and Prejudice as part of an ongoing literary fest in their college.
"My feelings won't be repressed. Please allow me to tell you how ardently I love you… ," Sanjay said enacting Mr. Darcy to perfection during the rehearsals.
The light that shone in his eyes kindled a spark somewhere inside her heart and secretly she began to consider him as her own Darcy.
The constant interactions made her re-discover Sanjay, her senior by two years, and everyday brought in new revelations. One day she learnt that he was a good singer and the next day she learnt that he was their class topper. When he joined in with his guitar for the onstage chorus, she adored the musician in him. Every day she wondered what surprise he had in store for her that day.
On the day of the drama, she was tense as it was her first stage performance. He spent time with her cracking jokes and complimenting her about her looks, she wondered what had made him so eloquent. Was he trying to put her at ease? The Victorian gown was making her feel like a cow. But Sanjay looked handsome even in tailcoats and vests and every moment she fell a little more in love with him.
"You have bewitched me body and soul. I love ...love you. Will you marry me Miss Bennet?" said Mr Darcy and Elizabeth nodded. As he leaned forward to kiss Elizabeth, the lights on stage dimmed and the curtains came down announcing the end of the Drama.
The lights came on a little later amid thunderous applause and all the actors came on stage to take the final bow. Mr. Darcy was still holding Elizabeth's arms and all the other members of the team had a mischievous sparkle in their eyes.
Behind the curtains, in the dark, Mr. Darcy had sealed the promise with a kiss. From that moment, Sanjay had ceased to be an enigma to Payal.

Microsoft's Play Anywhere weaves your Windows 10 and Xbox One games together
Buy once, play anywhere
By Hayden Dingman
Games Reporter, PCWorld |
Microsoft's made no secret it wants to push the Xbox and PC platforms closer together, with Windows 10 acting as the glue cementing the two. That plan took a huge leap forward today, though: During Microsoft's E3 2016 press conference, the company announced support for certain Xbox One games on the PC.
No, not via streaming. They're actually coming to the PC.
It's called "Xbox Play Anywhere" (why not "PC Play Anywhere"?) and is similar to the cross-buy offer that allowed you to buy Quantum Break for Xbox One and get a copy for the PC. This capability is of course locked to the Windows Store, which is a shame. But the upside? Some games you purchase for the Xbox One will automatically populate cross-buy on the PC (and vice-versa).
Installation is as easy as popping into the Windows Store and going to your Library tab, where you'll find all your Play Anywhere games populated. Your saved games will also make the transition over from console to PC and back again, and players on both platforms will be able to play games together.
Currently the program is mostly made up of Microsoft's first-party titles, with a few smaller indies thrown in for good measure. But that's still quite a crop of games, including Forza Horizon 3, ReCore, Gears of War 4, Scalebound, Sea of Thieves, and We Happy Few.
Now the main question is whether the games will work properly. I love Quantum Break, but its PC port left quite a bit to be desired—as did Gears of War Ultimate Edition. Microsoft's going to need to be a bit more stringent with its port certification if this whole cross-buy initiative is going to be a success.

The most dreadful calamity that perhaps ever befell this district has occurred within the last few days. The careless and negligent use of a deadly poison –arsenic-has had the unhappy result already of depriving no fewer than 17 persons of life, and of filling innumberable homes throughout a wide district with suffering, mourning, and woe.
On Sunday morning, two instances of sudden deaths were reported at the Borough Police Station. Two boys – one nine years of age and the other eleven – were reported to have died suddenly. The coincidence, considering the early years of these persons, was certainly an alarming one, duly considered, but, as there was apparently no grounds for suspecting anything unnatural in the incident of these sudden deaths, the fact was duly chronicled in the 'records of the Police Station, without any grave alarm being excited. As the day wore on, however, the circumstances provoked the fitting suggestion as to the immediate cause which had thus violently stricken down such early boyhood. Sudden deaths were rapidly multiplying on every side, and it was also stated that there was sudden and violent illness in many a household, which death had already filled with melancholy. It seemed for a brief period in some districts as if a dreadful plague had smitten us. The attention of the police officers was closely attracted to the circumstance, and on Sunday evening several officers were engaged in an endeavour to ascertain the cause of so much sudden illness and death. In one house in Jowett Street two fine boys named Burrans lay dead, and several person residing in the same dwelling were suffering severely from illness, which was accompanied with violent and frequent vomiting. They had all during the day eaten some peppermint lozenges, and though there had been some doubts upon the point, it was ultimately agreed on all hands that the peppermint lozenges had been the cause of the illness and death of the brothers. Mr Burniston, one of the detectives was pursuing his inquiries, and was satisfied, on calling at the afflicted dwelling of the Burrans, as to the cause of the increasing calamity.
He inquired where the lozenges had been bought, and found that they had been bought on Saturday night in the Market Place of a vendor of sweetmeats, named Wm. Hardacre, residing in North Wing. He visited Hardacre and found him suffering also from eating one of his own lozenges. He was told that the lozenges which had been sold in the market had been bought of Mr. Joseph Neal, a wholesale dealer in confectionery, residing in Stone Street. The officer proceeded to Mr. Neal's house, and on inquiry he there ascertained that the lozenges had been compounded partly of sugar and partly of a mineral ingredient, technically called "daft" or "terra alba," described by a chemist as simply plaster of Paris, but said by Neal, who also in familiar with the use of it, to be produced from Derbyshire spar. Twelve pounds of this spurious substance, intended as a substitute for the sugar, had been mixed with about 401bs. Of sugar, thereby producing by adulteration at about 8d. per pound lozenges which otherwise could not be obtained for less than 10d. or 1s. Per pound. These lozenges had been made by Neal to "the order" of Hardacre. The officer, from inquiry of Neal, became satisfied that some mistake had arisen in reference to the supply of the daft, especially when he found that it had been bought from the shop of a druggist named Hodgson, residing at Shipley. He resolved to go thither, and started out in company with Neal. On arriving there, he waited at Mr. Hodgson's house for two or three hours, being wishful to see Mr. Hodgson.
As at length it appeared doubtful whether he would return home that night, the officer put several inquiries to a youth named Wm. Goddard, whom he found there, in the capacity of an assistant for a temporary period. Goddard at once admitted that he had about a fortnight ago sold 12 1bs. of what he called daft to a person from Bradford. He showed the officer the cask whence he had given the "daft" as he supposed, and while the officer was endeavouring to make out the nature of the article it contained-which Neal had declared was not "daft" – by label or otherwise, Mr. Hodgson entered and made known to them the alarming fact that the cask contained – arsenic! The officer at once removed the youth Goddard to the Bradford Police Station. Energetic steps were immediately taken to publisli the fact far and wide in order to induce caution and safety. Police officers carried the sad news into their beats. The quiet slumbers of innumerable persons were broken at midnight by the bellman's warning. As soon as daylight dawned, the walls of the town and district were thickly covered with an official precaution from the chief constable. The excitement and alarm on Monday morning was intense, and it has continued to increase from day to day as the reports of death and illness have begun to multiply. The members of the medical profession were never so busy as they have been these last few days. Lists of the dead and suffering have been published, but so far as the sufferers are concerned, these lists are utterly worthless in conveying an adequate notion of the extent of those affected with this poison plague. We have heard of several medical gentlemen who have had as many as twenty and thirty patients, and yet the names of these sufferers have never been returned to the police station, the sufferers may be counted by hundreds. The list of sufferers published is only an approximation to the extent of the wide-spread mischief.
We have stated that no complete and accurate list has been published; nor is such a list to be had. Almost every medical man has had some of these cases under his care – many of them very largely, and the great bulk of these cases, there is every reason to believe, have not been published at the police station. The total number of deaths thus recorded up to last night was 17, and the number of cases of illness about 193.

On Monday morning, Willaim Goddard, the young man who had sold the arsenic, was placed in the dock of the Borough Court; the magistrates present being the Mayor (H. Brown, Esq.) Joshua Pollard, Esq., Wm. Murgatroyd, Esq., and Mr. Alderman Rand.
Mr. Leveratt, the chief constable, said – I wish to ask your worships to order the prisoner to be remanded. I will give the reasons why I ask this. Yesterday morning, on arriving at the office, I found that two boys, one about nine years of age and the other eleven years, had been reported to have died suddenly, but not suspecting that their deaths were to be attributed to other than natural causes, I took no steps in the matter in the way of further inquiry or otherwise. In the evening, however, it came to my knowledge that many other persons in different parts of the borough were very ill, and that more had died. It was then stated that the illness and death of these persons was supposed to be caused by their having taken peppermint lozenges, which had been purchased in the Green Market, and which were supposed to contain poison. This led to inquiry, and it was now ascertained that the lozenges had been sold by a person named William Hardacre, who retailed them in the market, and that he had purchased them off a person named Joseph Neal, a wholesale dealer in confectionery, in South Street. From the information given by Mr Neal, Burniston, one of the detective officers, went to Shipley, and there found that the prisoner, who was in the service of Mr. Hodgson, a druggist, had, about a fortnight ago, given to either Mr> Neal or a man in his services 12 lbs. Of arsenic instead of the article he was asked for, namely, "daft," or some such name, which is another designation, in fact, for plaster of paris, although, I believe, the article is procured from some parts of Derbyshire, and is applied in the adulteration of peppermint lozenges.
As soon as I had ascertained these facts, I immediately took steps to give information and warning in all parts of the borough. I instructed the night police going on duty at nine o'clock to make these facts known in their respective beats, in order to put all persons who had bought pepper mint lozenges in the market on their guard. I also requested Mr. Shuttleworth to make the facts known in all public houses and beer houses, and I sent two bellmen into all parts of the borough to give warning to all persons not to eat the lozenges. And as soon as daylight dawned, I caused the walls of the town to be thickly placarded with printed notices setting forth the same caution to the public. Finding that so many persons had died and many others were suffering from the same causes, I took upon myself, in the absence of your worship, the responsibility of issuing this printed notice, which has been circulated very plentifully, not only in Bradford but in all places within a distance of five or six miles of Bradford. Having satisfied myself of the facts I have stated as to the cause of these deaths, I felt it to be my duty to lock up the young man who sold the ingredient-arsenic. He lives with Mr. Hodgson, a druggist, at Shipley. There are already ten persons reported to me as dead, and there are about 40 others reported as suffering severely from eating the lozenges. I have no doubt there will be a much greater number reported before night. There are no doubt many persons residing in distant places, who have partaken of these lozenges. I have one person reported as dead at East Ardsley.
Mr. Murgatroyd: How many deaths are there?
Mr. Leveratt: Ten authenticated at present.
Mr. Murgatroyd: And how many ill?
Mr. Leveratt: About forty persons ill, some of them dangerously ill.
Mr. Murgatroyd: Have you the names of the persons who are reported as dead?
Mr. Leveratt: I have not the names of all the persons who are dead, but I know the deaths have occurred. I have most of the names. At Heaton, there are three persons dead, but I have not got their names.
The Mayor: Every effort has been made to spread the information and give due warning in the district?
The Mayor: You ask for the remand of the prisoner?
Mr Leveratt: I ask your worships to be kind enough to remand the prisoner till the coroner's inquest has been held, which will be held tomorrow or Wednesday. He is the person who gave the 12lbs. Of arsenic, which was mixed up by Mr Neal and his assistant in about 40 lbs. weight of lozenges. I have 35 lbs. Of these lozenges in my possession.
Neal is a wholesale manufacturer, residing in Stone Street. Mr Rimmington, analytical chemist, has analysed some of these lozenges, and he informs me that one lozenge is more than sufficient to kill one person.
Mr Alderman Rand: How were they sold?
Mr Burniston: Two ounces for 1 d.
Mr Alderman Rand: How many lozenges would there be in an ounce?
Mr Burniston: Twelve or fourteen.
Mr Alderman Rand: Then one ounce would be sufficient to kill twelve persons.
The magistrates then consulted for some time.
The Mayor then said that the prisoner would be remanded.
Mr Leveratt said that he was also indebted to his men, for they had acted a most judicious part in having, in most instances, taken upon themselves the responsibility of spreading information and caution in reference to these lozenges.
The prisoner was then remanded.
On Tuesday morning, William Goddard was again placed in the dock at the Court House. The magistrates present were the Mayor (H. Brown, Esq.) Joshua Pollard, William Walker, Esq., William Murgatroyd, Esq., Mr Alderman Rand, Samuel Laycock, Esq., W. B. Addison, Esq., and Swithin Anderton, Esq. Mr Lees appeared on behalf of Goddard, and Mr. T. Watson appeared to watch the case on behalf of Mr. Neal.
Mr. Leveratt, the chief constable, stated that the prisoner at the bar was remanded on the previous day on a charge of having delivered a quantity of arsenic to a man named James Archer. When he (Mr. Leveratt) arrived at the police station on Sunday morning, he had two deaths reported to him of two boys who were represented to have died suddenly, he had no reason at the time to suspect that the boys had died from anything but natural causes, and made no inquiry in references to them. He left them for the coroner to make the usual inquiry. On Saturday evening, information was sent to the office that a great number of persons were suffering from sickness, the symptoms being such as to indicate that the person had taken poison. Detective Burniston immediately took up the case. He went fist to Hardacre, the retail vendor of the lozenges. Next he went to Neal, the wholesale manufacturer, and from Neal he went to Mr Hodgson, of Shipley, from whom 12 lbs of arsenic for "daft" had been obtained. Burniston then ascertained that the prisoner had delivered to Archer for Neal 12 lbs of arsenic, which was afterwards mixed in the various ingredients manufactured into mint lozenges. Some of the lozenges had been analysed by Mr Rimmington, and he would say of what they were composed. P.C. Campbell would also tell the court that he had received 85 lbs of lozenges of the same kind as those which had been analysed. As soon as he (Mr. Leveratt) received information that this arsenic had been delivered at Shipley, he ordered a number of bills to be printed and caused them to be circulated in Bradford and in all places within a circuit of four or five miles. He also ordered the policemen going on duty at nine o'clock to make known everywhere indoors and out of doors, what had occurred with reference to the sale of these lozenges. In fact, every possible step was taken to give information and to spread the warning far and wide. He ordered a number of bills to be printed shortly after 12 o'clock midnight, and at daylight these bills were thickly posted on the walls.
Mr. Pollard said (as we understood) that there was a poor man in Eccleshill who had two children taken ill, and he not only went to the medical men to give warning to medical men but to other persons also, spending the hours of the night in doing this.
Mr. Leveratt said that Hardacre, the vendor of the lozenges, was also very ill.
Neal knew at once from the touch when he examined it that it was not daft. I then began to examine the cask, in order to see if I could ascertain what it really was. The prisoner then told me that his master was ill at the time he delivered the article. He asked him where he could find the daft, and told him that he would find it in the corner of the room; he went there, as he supposed, and he weighed 12lbs. of it from the cask and delivered it for daft. While we were trying to find whether there was a label on the cask, Mr Hodgson came in, and I immediately replied "arsenic!" This was before I had said anything to him about daft; in fact, I found that the daft was in an opposite corner of the room from where the arsenic was. I then said that, under the circumstances, I felt it to be my duty to take the prisoner into custody. I then brought him away. I went to the chief constable and explained to him how matters stood. He drew up a bill and I went and got it printed; I also caused it to be posted in the borough and in all places within a distance of four or five miles of the borough. This bill contained a caution to the public against eating lozenges. I found no mark or label on this cask which contained the arsenic. The lid was broken into three pieces. I locked the prisoner up. There was neither mark nor label upon the cask. Mr Neal and I looked at it and we did not observe any. Mr Hodgson was there and saw where we put it. I cannot tell whether the cask was of the same size and shape. One appeared to me to be a bag and not a cask. Mr Hodgson got a sample of daft and not of arsenic. I brought away a sample of daft and also a sample of arsenic. I have taken a sample of each to Mr Rimmington.
By the Bench: I found no mark nor label on the cask containing the arsenic. As soon as I found out the mistake, I wished to get away as soon as I could to Bradford, in order to spread the necessary precaution. I do not think the young man had any idea till this moment that he had served an improper article. There is one great fault on the part of Hodgson. He knew he had left the cask exposed in this manner, and without label. The young man had been only three weeks in Mr Hodgson's service, and he had no practice at all in the trade. I found Burrans had two children lying dead, and that he was ill and vomiting himself.
By Mr Lees: I did not find any label on the cask. Neal was there as well as me, and we both looked for a label, and did not find one. I looked round the barrel and also on the broken lid. We could not turn the cask up to see whether there was one at the bottom.
James Archer was next called. He said: I live with Neal. I take spice from Mr Neal to sell. I don't make it myself, nor do I help to make it. I went to Shipley and brought this "daft" from Mr Hodgson's. He told me to bring it. I went there a fortnight would be yesterday. I was going to Baildon, and I called, but as I thought there was no one in, I called as I came from Baildon. When I called, there was this young man in. IO asked him if the master (Mr Hodgson) was in, and he stated that Mr Hodgson was sick. I told him what I wanted-that I wanted some "daft." I said there was to be about twelve pounds of it, and I should like him to oblige me with it. This person gave me the material. I am quite sure he is the young man that gave it to me. He told me to wrap it in two bags of canvass and put it in a tin box. I took it to Mr Neal's, in Stone Street, Bradford. I there left it on Mr Neal's floor. It was given to the men and made into lozenges. I gave it to James Appleton, the man who made it into lozenges. I told him it was daft. I know nothing more of it. I don't know whether it was mixed or not. Appleton is one of Mr Neal's men. I don't assist in making this spice. I don't take any of this to sell. I don't know what quantity of spice is made up at a time. Mr Hodgson had wanted me to take it. He asked me one time to take it, and Mr Neal said that I must bring some. I can't just now say when he said this; but it was just before I went to Shipley. I did not pay for it. I live with Mr Neal. Mr Neal said I could bring 12lbs. of daft. I never fetched any before this time. I have been nearly two years with Mr Neal. I never fetched daft from any other place.
Ultimately the Chemist Charles Hodgson, Joseph Neale the sweet maker and the chemist's assistant William Goddard were all charged with manslaughter through negligence although upon appearing at the Assizes in York on the 9th of December the Grand jury after taking advice from Justice Baron Watson discharged both Neale and Goddard blemish free. Hodgson on the other hand was remanded to appear later that month on 21 December at the same court charged with the manslaughter of 7 year old Elizabeth Mary Midgley. The trial did not last long, it being halted by the judge who after hearing evidence from Goddard stated Hodgson who was ill in bed at the time had taken every precaution to direct the young assistant to the correct cask containing the adulterant 'daft'. Hodgson was officially found not guilty and released a free man just before Christmas. And so the infamous Humbug Billy Poisoning case went down in history as a dreadful serious of errors of which no one was to blame criminally. Billy himself received a certain amount of sympathy in the press having being almost paralysed himself but went on to continue in business selling confectionary in the same market until his death in September1866 aged 61. His grave is located near the cemetery boundary in the unkempt Q section (unconsecrated) and is unmarked. His freehold plot cost £6 including the minister's charges. According to the burial record he was interred in grave number 132 but it is appears he was removed and re-interred into plot 106 soon after.

How I survive traveling for 10 days on an AIP Keto Lifestyle? Here are my best healthy keto travel hacks!
As many of you know, I just went on a book tour for my first ever book, Made Whole!
One thing about being on the road and finally getting to meet so many of you in person is that not only did I want to feel my best, but I wanted to look my best! Yes, the pressure of making a first, in real life, good impression is so real.
While some things I could not foresee or control, like my chapped lips from the dry West Coast weather, I was overall really impressed with how well I fared.
No weight gain, no bloating, no flares. Mental clarity. High energy. Good sleep!
No surprise here. Planning ahead is important. I booked my hotels, communicated with my hosts and did a little internet recon on stores in the areas. Not sure how much of a healthy keto travel hack looking up health food stores neary by is, but it's one thing I do everywhere I go.
For short flights, I prepared to have my fatty coffee before or during the flight and made sure to have water and salt with me. No food packed for these because I prefer to fat fast when I fly. It keeps me sated without having to worry about food choices on the go. Also helps with water retention and bloating.
I also packed my Primally Pure beauty cream and complexion mist to keep my skin hydrated (ps. last day to save 10% on Primally Pure with code CASTAWAY10).
For longer flight or evening flights, I would fat fast during the day. Eat one large meal before the flight and pack a light snack like an Epic Bar or a hard-boiled egg. Water, always. Drinking hot tea on the flights also helped.
I always kept Vital Proteins Collagen packets, Wild Foods Cacao Butter and Dark Chocolate in my purse at all times. With these 3 items, I could turn any hot beverage into a delicious, fatty mocha that would hold me over until viable food options were available. Honestly, I need a battery powered frother, it would up my game.
Because I was only staying 1-2 nights in a city and had a budget on my per diem set by my publisher, I decided to skip the AirBnB this time around, so no kitchen.
I did, however, find a health food store (Trader Joe's or Whole Foods) and made my way there, usually after I got my hair done at the nearest blow dry bar. I would pick up kombucha, coconut yogurt, pre-made burger patty. A few select items to tide me over in the hotel room.
The Whole Foods in Dallas has pre-made hard-boiled, cage-free eggs. Those were an awesome score! Think simple, think portable, think okay to eat cold. Read labels!!!! On anything pre-made, even by the store, just to double check.
Since I was only eating one meal a day, plus a hotel room snacks, I only had to worry about getting one decent hot meal a day. From the airport Radisson to the Doubletree I always chose a simple protein.
Steak, no seasoning, only salt. Salmon, no seasoning, only salt. Pan seared.
Plain salad or seasonal veggies on the side. All dressings and salads on the sides.
I did have to pick tomatoes out of a dish in Dallas because they weren't listed on the menu.
Supplements to help me along the way were also integral.
Fish Oil and Turmeric to ward off inflammation.
Digestive Enzymes (before meals) and Activated Charcoal (one a day) to clear out toxins from my gut.
Magnesium glycinate before bed to sleep well.
Electrolytes or electrolyte water to keep me hydrated.
In Miami I went to my mom's gym. Old Bull Athletics!
When you are traveling sleep is king. Don't worry about working out if you're not getting enough sleep.
I was fortunate to get in quite a bit of sleep on my travels, so much so that I missed a flight! That being said, I also got in a few workouts. Not nearly as much as I would have had I been home, but enough to keep me feeling good.
How did I get so much sleep? Just say NO. No to unnecessary social engagements. No to another drink, round, etc. Might seem lame or boring, but when you feel like death the next day, you will be wishing you had just gone to bed. Bonus, when you do speaking engagements like I was going, meeting and connecting with so many people, it's a lot of energy! You give and receive energy with everyone you meet and that can leave you feeling wired. Heading home early to unwind is a smart choice.
Guest at a gym. Ask your local friends to take you to their gym with a day pass. Call ahead to some local gyms and see if they do day passes. Scope out hotels with gyms or even the awesome fitness suite I booked at the DoubleTree.
Find trails. Long walking paths, hikes, parks. Get outside. Walk around, run. Play.
Walk around the mall! Seriously. If you're somewhere cold or rainy. Find the mall, and window shop. Even try on clothes! Just get your body up and moving.
That's All Folks! Keep it simple. Focus on real food. Sleep. Hydrate. If you can, move your body. Safe travels!

JERUSALEM – Israel's Antiquities Authority says it has caught six Palestinians digging illegally for antiquities in a remote desert region where archaeologists believe undiscovered Dead Sea Scrolls are buried.
Antiquities inspector Uzi Rotstein said the arrest comes after a yearlong operation to stop looting in the Judean Desert, thought to be the source of scroll fragments which have recently trickled onto the local antiquities market.
The Antiquities Authority says the suspects were caught in late November looting a previously excavated cave and stealing a 2,000-year-old hair comb. The Authority accuses them of digging for Dead Sea Scrolls.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are the world's oldest biblical manuscripts. Their discovery in 1947 was one of the 20th century's greatest archaeological finds.
The Antiquities Authority says the suspects were indicted in court Sunday.

The #MeToo movement is a boon for big law firms
Deputy Managing Editor
Yahoo Finance 1 August 2018

CBS Corp.'s CEO, Les Moonves, has become the latest powerful man to be accused of sexually harassing and intimidating women whose careers he'd held sway over.
In response to a New Yorker article outlining those claims on Friday, the CBS (CBS) board said it's selecting an outside law firm to investigate the allegations — which include the assertion that sexual misconduct bled into other parts of CBS such as "60 Minutes" and CBS News. (Moonves, for his part, issued a statement saying, "I have never misused my position to harm or hinder anyone's career.")
In the past, companies were more likely to enlist their human-resources departments to probe allegations of sexual misconduct at the highest level.
"Obviously, that presents certain conflicts," Minna Kotkin, the director of the Brooklyn Law School Employment Law Clinic, told Yahoo Finance. "If you were the alleged victim of a harassment situation, you may not find the HR department's investigation particularly neutral … The HR division's goal … is to protect the company as much as possible."
'It's certainly a great revenue generator for law firms'
Companies' handling of misconduct claims has evolved in recent years and in the wake of the #MeToo movement, which gathered steam in October after The New York Times exposed sordid allegations against media mogul Harvey Weinstein. More and more, corporate America is looking beyond its own walls to probe allegations of misconduct — specifically, it's enlisting corporate law firms with robust employment practices.
Of course, hiring a law firm can be expensive. Lawyers bill an average of $475 an hour, according to a recent report on the legal industry that averaged the rates of attorneys ranging from lower-level associates to partners with equity in firms.
"It's certainly a great revenue generator for law firms," Kotkin said. "But it's a big expense for companies."

The companies that have incurred this expense include SoFi, whose board reportedly hired the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell last year to investigate allegations of pervasive sexual harassment. Sullivan & Cromwell found evidence that then-CEO Mike Cagney used company resources to pursue a romantic relationship with an employee, several people familiar with the matter told The New York Times. He was ousted last September.
Also last year, 21st Century Fox enlisted the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison to look into allegations against conservative TV host Bill O'Reilly before his ouster. And NPR, yet another news outlet whose higher-ups were accused of sexual harassment, retained Morgan Lewis to look into allegations against Michael Oreskes, the former Senior Vice President of News.
It's unlikely these companies will be the last to bring on white-shoe law firms to investigate such matters. Jackie Ford, a partner at the law firm Vorys who specializes in employment law, called outside investigations of sexual harassment claims "definitely a growing area of interest and a growing practice for law firms."
'I want NBC to stop fighting #MeToo within its own walls'
One notable exception to the trend of hiring outside counsel is NBC, which enlisted its own legal team to investigate its response to allegations of harassment by Matt Lauer. While the network said it consulted with two outside law firms to review its findings, NBC faced criticism for using its in-house lawyers to probe claims of harassment.
"I want NBC to stop fighting #MeToo within its own walls. I ask NBC Universal to retain an outside investigator to look into sexual harassment and any coverup of sexual harassment at NBC News," Linda Vester, a former NBC and Fox News journalist who accused NBC anchor Tom Brokaw of harassment, wrote in The Washington Post.

Companies may be able to avoid just this kind of criticism if they hire outside lawyers to investigate the most serious claims of misconduct. To be sure, outside law firms get paid by the very companies they're investigating — but they're more likely to be impartial than in-house HR departments or in-house lawyers, according to employment-law experts.
"If you're really trying to get to the bottom of what went wrong, you want to hire people who have no axe to grind, no bias at all in the outcome, to take a good look at this and report back to the board," Melanie Leslie, dean of the Cardozo Law School, told Yahoo Finance.
Camille Hébert, a professor at the Moritz College of Law at Ohio State, called the move towards having investigations done by outside counsel a step "in the right direction."
"Even if an internal investigation actually is independent, the people who are telling their stories or who are giving information might not feel like it is," said Hébert, whose specialties include employment law and sexual harassment.
By bringing on independent lawyers to investigate, companies give accusers in sexual misconduct more faith in the process. These companies can also use internal investigations to protect themselves in the courtroom.
Under the law, employers that take "effective remedial action" — for example, hiring a law firm to investigate allegations of harassment — can insulate themselves from liability, Hébert said. And, as Ford, the Vorys lawyer, noted, this case law "provides a huge incentive for employers to basically do the right thing."
For big law firms, the legal benefits of bringing in outside counsel also means corporate lawyers will continue getting work probing these claims — especially in a post-#MeToo era, when, it seems, we'll continue to see allegations so serious that they warrant an independent investigation.

Experienced property investors who need to buy a property in a few times will often select a hard money loan as a primary alternative. Other men and women who prefer to buy and flip properties do not wish to get tied down using a long-term bank, so that they pick a hard money loan as a better choice.
The creditworthiness of the debtor isn't a element in the acceptance procedure because the land is utilized security in case of a default option. Because of this, the value of the home is important for the creditor if making a loan choice compared to the credit of the borrower. Banks don't provide hard money loans. The borrower might need to visit a private investor or business who's prepared to take a risk on supplying a loan to the debtor.
Who wants this kind of loan?
Hard money loans are almost exclusively employed by property investors. Banks have a tendency not to make these loans to investors since banks would rather make trades where they're convinced that the loan will be repaid. Sometimes, homeowners that are facing foreclosure or bankruptcy will seek out a hard money loan to assist them from the circumstance. Individuals that cannot acquire a house loan from a conventional lender due to bad credit may also get this kind of loan.
Hard money loans may be used for many property types like single-family and multi-family residential, commercial, property, and industrial properties. The ideal method to locate Carlsbad hard money lenders would be to pay a visit to a regional real estate agent club. These clubs may have investors that have used hard money lenders and will give recommendations. Borrowers may also discover these kinds of creditors in their place via an easy online search. Some hard money lenders specialize in a particular property type, therefore borrowers should consult the creditor to learn what kinds of loans they can perform.
Collateral and individual financing are the two main things a hard money lender will search for in a lender. A debtor's credit history does not play much part in a creditor's credit decision. In reality, the creditor might not even examine the debtor's credit report. The Carlsbad hard money lender's main concern is that the borrower's capacity to repay the loan.
The ideal method for a Carlsbad hard money lender to make sure they can receive their money back is by maintaining the loan-to-value ratio reduced. Lenders will typically maintain the LTV ratio at no longer than 70 percent, so that the property ought to be troubled and undervalued. In case the borrower defaults on the loan, then the reduced LTV ratio will allow the creditor to sell the home and also have a great chance at getting the loan back cash.
• Quick Fees — The Carlsbad hard money lender does not need to experience a protracted charge and fiscal history test on the debtor like a conventional lender would function. Typically, the hard money lender will accept financing in a couple of days in the event the security requirements are satisfied.
• Flexibility — All kinds of property can be funded using a hard money loan. Realtors and investors are entitled to this kind of loan. Minimal underwriting processes are utilized, and a few hard money lenders will supply 100 percent funding under specific conditions.
• New debtors — A hard money loan may be a fantastic solution for new borrowers that have a poor or limited credit history and cannot get accepted by a financial institution.
• Costs — It isn't unusual to determine interest rates as large as 20% on hard money loans. Origination fees could be up to five times that which a conventional lender would cost.
• Short-term loan — A normal hard money loan duration is 6-12 weeks. In the event the loan isn't paid back in this period of time, the creditor has the choice to improve the high rate pace.
• Loss of land A hard money loan is secured with property.
Hard money loans, also called unsecured loans, rehab loans, or bridge loans are a sort of funding we make available to buy and fix a home. Hard money loans are different than traditional underwriting procedures and are not provided by average mortgage agents. Hard money is funding that is made accessible for repair of their property + the buy price. Because of this, a borrower can access some greater sum of money than they generally would qualify.
Many property investors use hard money loans since conventional lenders require too long. Hard money loans may be implemented at a quicker speed. Real estate investors typically earn a greater ROI with hard money loans on account of this fact that they could fund repairs to the house rather than using their own money.
Complete our form and then get us asap.
Most hard money loans are short-term loans. They cover the time necessary to fix and sell the house. In case the borrower requires additional time, which is sometimes true, additional extensions could be negotiated with the creditor. There could be a commission, or sharp growth in interest linked with this. Sometimes, the lender may call the notice giving the debtor a 30 day window to pay off the loan, or face foreclosure.
How can a debtor get a rehabilitation loan as soon as they've found a home?
As soon as you've found the house that you need, you need to forward your information to Delancey Street. At this moment, we will supply you a quote of what we could give you, your interest rates, any upfront fees we may bill, and other similar info. After we get your information, we will create the records for your loan. We favor seven days from the reception of this data to provide financing so we are able to review everything.
What kind of possessions does Delancey Street loan?
We're capable of committing against any kind of land. We finance residentialproperty, property, and commercial property.
Among the most significant things about a hard money loan is that the rate at which work is finished. Approvals can be allowed in as little as 24-48 hours, and resolutions can occur in under a week. Bear in mind, however, that we'll have to get an appraisal of your property, arrange and scrutinize name function, and possess the right lender records created. This may occur days to weeks. In a crisis situation we can hasten the procedure for you.
There's not any set fee prices. Typically any arrangement will probably revolve around some upfront points and interest payments. It is all dependent on the real estate, and the danger we evaluate choosing the loan. We disclose everything for you.

Q: dhtmlxScheduler - Using Roles in ASP.NET MVC3 I have dhtmlxScheduler working well with recurring events and events coloured according to type. However, I cannot understand how to limit the maintenance of the scheduler to those Users in a particular ASP.NET Role. I am trying to use the Save view but I cannot refresh the scheduler to remove any invalid input if the User is not in the required Role.
Has anybody managed to get this working successfully?

A: This is simpler than I thought. The way to do it is in the function init() {...} routine, as follows:-
<% if ( User.IsInRole("EditEvents") ) { %>
    scheduler.config.readonly = false;
<% } else { %>
    scheduler.config.readonly = true;
<% }; %>

Hope this helps anyone using dhtmlxSheduler.

Wilen said people are welcome to watch the parade in Roosevelt Park.
The Roosevelt Park Zoo is hosting a horse-themed scavenger hunt called Horses Gone Wild, starting at 1 p.m. Thursday. Children who participate will receive a free ticket to the Expo.

When Things Fall Apart, by Pema Chodron. No words comforted me more during the difficult years following my divorce and my father's conviction for a crime than hers. The book taught me to sit with uncertainty, realizing that any ideas we entertain about being in control are merely an illusion. I learned to meditate and breathe through my most challenging moments, to feel deeper compassion for all living beings, and to trust that I would be fine no matter what as long as I had my own truth, strength, and love to fall back on. I also find great solace and beauty in poetry. My favorite poets for the past ten years or so have been Mary Oliver, Rumi and Hafiz. If you have never encountered these mystics, lovers of natures, and revelers in the power of God and beauty of spirit, pick up any of their books. I will slide one off the shelf, thumb through, and read whatever poem I open up to when I feel a need for guidance or just comfort.
I could listen to Bruddah Iz's version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," which he mashed up with "What a Wonderful World," thousands of times and never tire of it. I grew up in Hawaii, so I find the sound of ukulele music deeply comforting. It's haunting. I also love U2. I listened to the album "Joshua Tree" every night on my Sony Walkman as I fell asleep in high school, and have been to two concerts. "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" may be my favorite song of theirs--though now that I've found what I'm looking for (true love, family, love love and more love for all humankind!), I might have to choose a new one! That song tells of the spiritual journey with such simplicity and honesty.
Find your own truth by looking inside yourself. Choose the middle path of neither too much indulgence nor too much denial. The path to world peace starts in your own heart, by finding compassion there for yourself and others. Then, around the same time, both my own marriage and my family of origin began to fall apart. I went into crisis mode. The Buddhists lessons quickly went from being theoretical to profoundly practical. Nothing could calm my anxiety or make me feel connected to the beauty of the planet better than meditation, which I practice in the Buddhist Vipassana tradition. I also turned to poetry (see above-my favorite books), yoga, and friendship, love and laughter. Once you go down the path of spirituality, you can never turn back! And thank heavens for that. My life is infinitely richer as a result of my suffering, seeking, and answers I found on my spiritual quest, and now I help guide others on their journeys.
My mother. She is extraordinary. Full of vitality and creativity. A totally devoted mother to me and my brother and also a feminist who forged an amazing career path during the 70s and 80s, and continues into her late 60s -all for non-profits, all in service of making the world a better place.
Ajahn Sumedo said, "There are only three things to learn in life: Let go. Let go. Let go."
I am still learning to let go, but I don't suppose I will ever learn how to. Perhaps it's not in my nature. I'm too attached to those I love.
In a yoga class and by the ocean.
A spiritual lesson you hope to learn? I don't think we can know what we need to learn until we learn it.

Nostraverse to Launch UAE Subsidiary, Hire over 100 employees for Metaverse Project
Nostraverse, a Metaverse app that was released in the Oculus Store earlier this year, is set to imminently open a subsidiary in the UAE, as blockchain and crypto projects continue to flock to the Emirates.
The leading B2B2G Metaverse Gateway and Transformation Partner emphasized that it will be opening its Dubai subsidiary in October to start providing professional solutions – ranging from onboarding, to team-building, to training and recruitment – to Governments and multi-national corporations (MNCs) alike.
Nostraverse Founder and CEO Sam Clever said that he decided to open a hub in the Emirates following Dubai Ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum unveiling the Dubai Metaverse Strategy in May.
Sam Clever added that they plan to hire up to 100 employees in Dubai in the following 12 months, and he drew parallels between the Metaverse and the internet revolution.
"The industry totally underestimates the massive disruptive impact of the Metaverse. Ignorance will harm existence. Foresight enables a new world," the tech entrepreneur said.
"The transformation into the Metaverse has begun! We will remember these times, similar to 1995 when the internet was established in companies", he added.
Sam Clever also noted that Nostraverse has already established a number of local partnerships, including a partnership with RMA Advisory.
Overview of Dubai Metaverse Strategy
The Government unveiled the Dubai Metaverse Strategy in May, seeking to capitalize on this sector's tremendous growth potential to support the economy.
Specifically, the Dubai Government is aiming to create over 40,000 jobs and to increase its GDP by $4 billion by 2030 via this strategy.
The Dubai Metaverse Strategy is headed by Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.
He highlighted the importance of embracing the Metaverse to help cement Dubai's position as a forward-looking, innovative city.
"The directives of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid to form a higher committee to supervise Dubai's future technological developments reflect the importance of facing the future with an open mind," the Dubai Crown Prince said earlier this year.
"The move will help us fully understand reality and explore unique ideas that will shape a brighter future for Dubai and the UAE, maximizing future business opportunities," he added.

Sunk on or after 27 November 1944 in the Baltic Sea north-west of Odensholm, in position 59.20N, 23.10E, by a Soviet mine. 51 dead (all hands lost). (Axel Niestlé, September 2013).
See the 1 ships hit by U-479 - View the 5 war patrols
In the summer of 2013 the wreck of a type VIIC U-boat was discovered by the Estonian Maritime Administration in a depth of 95 meters. It shows damage from mining and was tentatively identified as U-479 by Axel Niestlé.
Previously recorded fate
Listed as missing since 15 November 1944 with no explanation for its loss. In some Soviet sources mentioned as being lost after an underwater collision with the Soviet submarine Lembit south of Utö on 14 December 1944. However, the story is very doubtful because the position is far from the operational area of U-479 and an examination of the submarine hull in a dock afterwards showed only light damage, probably from grazing a wreck.
Men lost from U-boats
Unlike many other U-boats, which during their service lost men due to accidents and various other causes, U-479 did not suffer any casualties (we know of) until the time of her loss.
