Ariel View of Mount Eden Volcano
More info Get directions
Mount Eden is a must-see when visiting Auckland. Although it is not an indoor activity you can do in Auckland, it is free. Mount Eden is an extinct volcano that you can now hike, walk, run, bike and even drive most of the way to the summit. At the top is a map of where all the world's major cities are located.
Hundreds of people visit Mount Eden every day, and it is an epic spot to watch the sunrise and sunset. It offers excellent views of the city and surrounding area, including the harbours.
There are also hundreds of little side trails going up from all areas of the base of the volcano. There is even a paved main road leading up and around it. Mount Eden is dog-friendly and also has a dog park on one side of it.

Sheep grazing on One Tree Hill
Auckland is filled with numerous picturesque walking and hiking trails all around the city, all of which you can access for free. Whether you wish to soak up the cityscape, walk along the coastline or chase a waterfall, grab yourself a pair of sneakers and start walking.
Don't forget to take your camera along as you will come across numerous insta-worthy locations along the way.
The famous coast-to-coast walk will take you through volcanic cones of Mount Eden, beautiful parks and One Tree Hill, which provides gorgeous views of the entire city of Auckland.
Some of the best places where you can go for memorable hikes and walks include Rangitoto Summit, Hunua Falls Track, and Okura Bush Walk among others.

A Large Gannet Colony in Muriwai
The Muriwai Gannet Colony is another free activity. Muriwai is home to the largest Gannet breeding site in New Zealand and one of three on the mainland.
These giant sea birds are native to New Zealand and are known to mate for life.
It isn't just the Gannets that are impressive. The drive there is scenic, dramatic and unforgettable.
A New Zealand travel tip to keep in mind is that the beach and cliffs here can be quite windy, and there tends to be a lot of other visitors, so watch your step and be aware of your surroundings when you are taking pictures.

Queen St. and Auckland Town Hall
Queens Arcade is a historic shopping mall located in the centre of Auckland. It was opened in 1929 and renovated in 2013, making it a comfortable and modern shopping place - a perfect home for many of the international stores located here.
Situated on Queen Street, you can find several cosy cafes and shops here selling everything from designer garments to gift items, boutiques and even supermarkets.

Pakiri Beach
Being an island country, New Zealand has numerous gorgeous beaches and coastal locations at your disposal. If you are in the mood to do something for free, then head over to one of the beautiful beaches in Auckland or surrounding areas.
You can either go for white-sand beaches or black-sand ones as both exist here. All sorts of water sports are also available at most beaches, including surfing, diving, swimming, snorkelling and much more.
On the other hand, if you are someone who likes to stay dry, pack a picnic basket and spend some time sunbathing on the beach with your loved ones. Don't forget to take your sunscreen along!
Some of the most popular beaches in and around Auckland include Pākiri Beach, Anchor Bay, Karaka Bay, Karioitahi Beach, and Piha Beach.
With over 55 libraries as well as four mobile libraries spread throughout the city from Waiheke to Waiuku to Wellsford, visiting one of them is a great idea, especially for people who love to read and learn new things.
Of course, the libraries are filled with numerous books, but you can also find some fantastic picks in magazines, videos, DVDs, audiobooks as well as eBooks. You can easily spend the entire day here immersed in books, forgetting the whole world outside.
The libraries often host exciting talks and events as well, so make sure to keep an eye out for such occasions to get the most out of the experience.
The Auckland Art Gallery is one of the best things to do for free in Auckland. With over 15 thousand works of art in the gallery and free entry, it's a fantastic attraction that might result in you quickly losing track of time.
This renowned museum is a great place to learn about new things through its interactive exhibits like the 'shaky' volcano. The gallery also hosts free talks regularly, which gives an added incentive to visit this museum.
So make sure to keep an eye out for these special events taking place at the Auckland Art Gallery to get the best experience possible.

Silo Park in Auckland, New Zealand
Throughout the summer, Silo Park offers free movie nights every Friday and Saturday, which can be a fun activity to do at night in Auckland! They offer a rotating selection of movies along with a night market in the park.
The Silo Cinema got its name from the fact that movies are projected on adjacent silos in the park. This event has become a beloved tradition in the city.
So if you're visiting Auckland during the summer, make sure to carry a blanket along with some snacks, and head over to Silo Park to catch a free movie.
You can also find numerous food trucks and street performers all over the park, making it one of the best free destinations to visit in Auckland.
Another great way to spend an afternoon for free is to visit Cornwall Park located in the middle of the hustle-bustle of the city. It acts like an inner-city oasis, and there is a lot to do here.
You can go for a stroll, have a picnic in the park, BBQ with friends, play games on the giant open lawns or heat things up with a run.
You can also experience an urban farm operating within the park.
With a rich history and beautiful tall trees all around, it is a great place to spend some tranquil quality time with your loved ones in nature.

Views from the Auckland Waterfront near Viaduct Harbour
The Auckland Waterfront is undoubtedly one of the most happening places in the city. There is so much to do here that you will be spoilt for choice.
You can sit on the shore and watch the boat traffic go by, or sit and watch people going about their day-to-day life. You can go for a stroll along the quay and enjoy the picturesque sights.
Of course, if you want to try any of the delicious food available here, you will have to spend a few bucks. But whatever you end up doing, it will be a day well spent.

Parnell Rose Garden, Auckland, New Zealand
You must have heard the old expression "take time to stop and smell the roses". This is extremely important, especially in today's busy life. So take some time out of your day to slow down and appreciate life, and the best place to do just this for free in Auckland is at the Parnell Rose Garden.
The garden comprises of a multi-park complex with more than 5000 roses that you will be able to smell from a distance. And once you see the garden, the flood of colours will sweep you off your feet.
Spend some time amongst the pretty roses and take lots of insta-worthy pictures to remember the day forever.
Apart from the roses, the gorgeous views of the bay and picture-perfect moments are a bonus.

Karekare Falls
New Zealand has many gorgeous treks and hiking trails that reward your efforts with stunning waterfalls at the end. One such beautiful location that will take your breath away with serene views is Karekare Falls.
Located about a 45-minute drive from Auckland city, you can visit Karekare Falls by taking a day trip. The falls are just a short 5-minute walk from the parking lot, so even those who don't enjoy hiking can visit here.
To get the most out of the experience, visit the waterfall right after it rains heavily. Take a moment and sit by the waterfall, enjoy the sounds of the rushing water and immerse yourself in the experience.

One Tree Hill, Auckland
One Tree Hill is a renowned volcanic peak in the city of Auckland standing at the height of 182-metres. The top of the hill offers fantastic panoramic views of the city.
The summit is also home to John Logan Campbell's grave, who presented this land to the people of the city in 1901. He requested that a memorial be built for the Maori people on the summit. Since then, it holds great importance for the Maori culture.
The stump of the last 'one tree' also exists nearby, which gave the hill its name. It is an excellent location for those who love walking and hiking as well as enjoy some fresh air with amazing views.
The peak also houses an observatory at the top, making it popular with people who are into astronomy.
For all of you military buffs, Fort Takapuna is one of the most exciting places you can visit. Colloquially known as the 'Russian Scare Fort', it was built before the century changed in 1900. The fort offers many fun free things to do for adventure-seekers.
There are two main buildings here, the enormous barracks built in 1880 and the newer brick building built in the 1920s by the Navy for storing warheads for torpedoes.
When visiting, you're free to wander on the grassed areas while taking in the superb Hauraki Gulf and the fascinating military history of the fort. You can also explore the underground bunker network or take a self-guided coastal walk.
The Potter Children's Garden at the Auckland Botanic Gardens has been designed specifically for children, or those who are kids at heart. With the live biome at the garden, visitors have the opportunity to learn about the evolution and biology of birds, plants and insects.
There are discussions about how plants adapt to different environments around the world, weather and its impact on habitats, and much more.
Of course, being a place for children's entertainment, there is also a huge play area where they can play till their heart's content while adults take a relaxing break at the nearby café by grabbing a cappuccino.

Auckland Harbour Bridge
If you are fond of and appreciate architecture, Auckland is an excellent place for you to visit. The first stop for any civil engineer or architectural buff should be the Auckland Harbor Bridge.
However, apart from that, there are many other buildings in the city from ancient forts to ultra-modern skyscrapers with exciting designs that you should explore. All these buildings combined make for a majestic background in any Auckland landscape shot.
Due to New Zealand's geographical isolation, it is home to a diverse and exotic bird population. There are several flightless birds native to its shores and forests.
This peculiarity was made possible because there weren't any mammals present in this area to feast on the flightless birds and their eggs. Rats, possums and sloths came later, but the ongoing conservation efforts of the government have ensured that the native and endemic bird species of New Zealand continue to survive.
Tawharanui is a bird sanctuary located an hour away from Northern Auckland. Here, you can undertake guided visits and bird-watching tours to various parts of the sanctuary to witness all the rare bird species, such as the North Island Brown Kiwi, Takahe, Kakariki, Tieke or Saddleback, Pateke or Brown Teal, Oi, Bellbird and North Island Robin.
If you are looking for more destinations like this, check out Tiritiri Matangi Island - it is another wildlife sanctuary that you should consider visiting.
The whimsical Goat Island is a marine and wildlife sanctuary located a short drive north of Auckland city. Besides being a wildlife sanctuary, it is also one of the premier diving locations in the area.
Lovers of water sports can also enjoy snorkelling and rowing here amongst a kaleidoscope of varied marine life.
However, if you prefer to stay on dry land, you can go for a glass-bottomed boat tour of the sanctuary to witness the beautiful marine life in action.
The Domain, Auckland, New Zealand
Just like New York City is known for Central Park, Auckland is home to The Domain. It is the oldest park in Auckland and is free to visit for the public.
This vast park is full of greenery and is the perfect oasis for relaxing, kite flying, picnicking, hanging out with your loved ones, practising your photography skills, or just taking a stroll amongst the lush green trees and waterfalls.
Also, if you're lucky, you may catch an outdoor concert taking place in the park.
For all those foodies out there, head over to the Clevedon Village Farmers Market. Especially for the people who are into organic food and believe in bringing their food products direct from farm to table, this is the perfect destination for you.
Located close to the Eastern Beach district in Auckland, you can find all sorts of farm-grown produce and hand-cured meats here.
Of course, you can browse the entire market for free, but I wouldn't be surprised if you cave in and get lots of produce and goods for yourself and your family.
Considered to be the backbone street of Auckland, Queen Street is the primary axis along which the entire city spans. Today, it is filled with many modern malls that attract tons of shoppers throughout the year.
Queen Street begins right at the water's edge and heads up in a straight line towards Auckland Town Hall and the Baptist Tabernacle. The upper part of the street is lined with converted cottages, modern apartments, and several galleries.

Go for a long drive along Awhitu Peninsula on the southern side of Manukau Heads to reach the picturesque Manukau Heads Lighthouse. Here, you can climb the 120 stairs to reach the top.
From the top of the lighthouse, you can get immersed in the gorgeous views of the ocean below. If you are lucky, you may even be able to spot the Maui Dolphin – one of the rarest mammals in the world.
This is a great place to have picnics with its spacious grounds, stunning views and the fascinating lighthouse in the background.
Tāmaki Herenga Waka Festival takes place every year to celebrate Maori heritage in New Zealand. The festival involves both water and land performances along with storytelling encapsulating the rich waka history of the region.
Some of the usual highlights of the festival include the Waka showcase, Kapa Haka, Music and Contemporary Maori dance, water and land performances and storytelling, and a marketplace selling traditional toi (art) and kai (food).
Undoubtedly one of the most historically significant sites in New Zealand, the Otuatua Stonefields will take you into an entirely different tranquil world even though it is situated just a few minutes drive away from the chaos of the city.
Being home to the indigenous tribes of the Tangata Whenua, it is also an important archaeological site in the country. Spread over 100 hectares, this historic reserve was established to preserve and protect the archaeological remains of those communities.
Not only this, but it is also a well-known volcanic area where you will be able to witness large-scale stonework remains that depict the lives of people who once lived here.
Auckland is truly a world apart with its charming aura, clean environment and friendly people. And when you add in the numerous year-round selection of things that you can do for free in Auckland, there is no reason why anyone would not want to visit this place.
While some may find the wide variety of choices in this Auckland guide quite overwhelming, this list can work as a handy guide for new visitors to Auckland on a budget!
So head over to Auckland, New Zealand and enjoy the city without making a hole in your bank account!

Q: How to request and receive a custom generated XML File? I would like to create an app for iPhone which should be able to connect to a server and download an xml file. The file should be freshly generated from a database every time it is requested.
As an example, imagine an app that recommends books to the user, where the recommendations are generated by the server upon each request.
At first, no information will be transmitted from the app to the server. The app requests always the same file which will be generated with more or less random content. In a later step, I'd like to transmit login information to be able to answer the requests individually, but this is not the top priority.
To keep things simple, I'd like to rely on "common" infrastructure, like a simple webserver running php. The app targets a niche and I'm not expecting heavy loads.
How would you implement such a feature? How would you handle creating the request within the app / connecting to the server and the delivery of the xml file? Can this be done using php on the serverside or would this require something more specialized?
Thanks alot!!

A: Look into SOAP and PHP's SoapServer class.

A: OK I found a simple solution myself (with a little help from a php-pro).
First I'd let my app request a php file (with the number of items I wish to receive as argument) like this:
NSString *sourcePath = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.foobar.com/db_getxml.php?%i", numberOfItems];

NSURLRequest *newRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:sourcePath]];

NSURLResponse *response;
NSData *loadResult = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:newRequest returningResponse:&response error:NULL];

The php file will read the requested number of entries from a mysql database and then output xml data.
All I need to do is stuff the contents of loadResult into the xml parser - works perfectly.

'No warplane to take off': Russia's S-700 missile system can cover entire planet – party leader
Vladimir Zhirinovsky, who is well-known for his explosive speeches and eyebrow-rising claims, made his latest one during a talk show last week. He said Russia should double down on its decision to supply the S-300 long-range anti-aircraft missiles to Syria.
"The Americans are afraid that the entire world will see that the Russian S-300 system is the best in the world. And we also have the S-400, S-500, S-600 and S-700! We can cover the entire planet, and not a single warplane will be able to take off!"
The bragging was met with laughter by other guests while the host, Vladimir Solovyev, intervened to joke that Zhirinovsky should be careful not to disclose all of the secrets at once. "What if you tell us about the terrible S-1500 system that we know nothing about," he said.
Unfazed Zhirinovsky assured that the 'S-700' would be the last one because "it will shoot down every missile right at the launch site."
The politician heads the LDPR party, which holds 40 seats in the Russian parliament. He has a long record of eccentric behavior that apparently appeals to the party voter base.
Among his more incendiary statements is a suggestion that if Russian kids learned how to use a Kalashnikov rifle instead of speaking English language, "the entire world will speak Russian." He also pledged that his "hands will be in blood" if he ever became president and "dictatorship is constipation; democracy is diarrhea; chose whatever you want."
Despite the sometimes hateful and all too often insulting rhetoric, Zhirinovsky is mostly considered by critics a demagogue with a taste for crude jokes in place of policy ideas. At various times he suggested firing officials who weigh over 80kg, banning birds from migrating to other countries and allowing "seismic refugees" from Japan to settle freely in Russia's Far East.
The S-300 and the S-400 are two generations of Russian long-range air defense systems meant to protect strategically important sites like key infrastructure objects, military units or ballistic missile launch silos from enemy aircraft and missiles. An S-500 system is currently in development by Almaz-Antey and may have anti-satellite capabilities, according to open source data.
The existence of any systems with higher index numbers is either a closely-guarded state secret that Zhirinovsky casually spilled to make a point or just a figment of his imagination.

London buses kill or seriously injure four a week
A transport union has demanded that mayor Sadiq Khan and Transport for London improve the safety of the capital's franchised bus services after 45 people were killed and 1,017 seriously injured over five years.
A meeting held by campaign group LondonBusWatch at a London Labour Party conference at the weekend called on Mr Khan to make the safe operation of outsourced bus operators TfL's top priority.
It follows claims that bus drivers are being pressured to drive too fast to keep up with punctuality targets.
Based on data published by TfL, GMB London Region said that since 2014, 4,736 people have been injured in collisions involving TfL buses – roughly 2.5 people per day.
Of these, 45 people were killed and 1,017 seriously injured – roughly four people killed or seriously injured every week.
Warren Kenny, GMB regional secretary said: 'GMB London are calling for decisive action from the top to change the inherited culture at Transport for London and to ensure the safe operation of buses by the outsourced private for-profit operators.
'Sadiq Khan has to get a grip on the problem he inherited from the past managers who designed the outsourced killing machine that TfL presides over. Nothing less than fundamental reform of the Bus System's contract performance incentives to include safety is acceptable.'
LondonBusWatch and the GMB called on Mr Khan as chair of TfL to have a ten-point 'Bill of Rights' adopted by TfL's contracted bus companies and its implementation monitored by TfL.
TfL said its Bus Safety Programme includes ten key work streams, including an increased emphasis on safety in the management of contracts and managing the risk of fatigue among drivers.
Its director of bus operations, Claire Mann, said: 'Deaths and serious injuries on our road network are neither acceptable nor inevitable, which is why we are doing all we can to eliminate them. We are introducing a range of additional and enhanced safety requirements for buses and are developing innovative driver training focused on the safety of vulnerable road users.
'Our bus operators know that safety is our top priority and continue to work with us towards our aim of making London's roads free from collision-based deaths and serious injuries.'
The GMB's 'Bill of Rights':
'The right to a safe work schedule without any forced overtime or loss of pay
'The right to a decent and proper rest break in the working day
'The right to drive a safe and well-maintained vehicle
'The right to clean, serviced toilet and rest facilities on all bus routes
'The right to report safety concerns without fear of retribution from TfL or employers
'The right, when seriously ill and covered by a doctor's note, to not be harassed into coming into work until fit to do so
'The right to relevant and timely safety training
'The right to drive without being forced to answer radio messages and texts from Controllers whilst in motion
'The right to have all company rules in writing and clearly displayed
'The right to be treated with dignity and respect by our employers, TfL and the public.'

Mar 29, 2014 at 4:30 AM Mar 30, 2014 at 1:44 PM
BROCKTON – Actor Steve Schirripa, otherwise known as Bobby Baccalieri from HBO's "The Sopranos," will be in Brockton on April 5 at the War Memorial Building to host "Rock and Comedy for a Cause."

Others comedians who will be featured include Ken Rogerson, Christine Hurley and Johnny Pizzi, and music will be provided by Draw the Line, an Aerosmith tribute band.

Chaupetta's twin sons, Andrew and Troy, both suffer from the disorder and play for a power wheelchair soccer team at the Massachusetts Hospital School in Canton.
"We're trying to raise money to take their team to nationals in Indianapolis," said Chauppetta.
Tickets are $50 and can be purchased online at www.rockncomedy.com.

Ex-chess champ Kasparov to run for Russian prez
Former chess world champ Kasparov enters Russian presidential race
MOSCOW -- The former world chess champion Garry Kasparov
entered Russia's presidential race on Sunday, elected
overwhelmingly as the candidate for the country's beleaguered
opposition coalition.
Kasparov has been a driving force behind the coalition, which
has united liberals, leftists and nationalists in opposition to
President Vladimir Putin. He received 379 of 498 votes at a
national congress held in Moscow by the Other Russia coalition,
coalition spokeswoman Lyudmila Mamina told The Associated Press.
Kasparov's place on the March ballot was not assured. His
candidacy still needs to be registered and is likely to be blocked.
Even if he were allowed to run, Kasparov would not be expected
to pose a major challenge to whichever candidate wins Putin's
backing.
"The goal of the Other Russia is not winning elections, but to
have an election," Kasparov told AP Television News, speaking in
English on the sidelines of the congress. "We're trying to force
the regime to accept our rights to participate in free and fair
elections, to agitate the Russian population and Russian public to
support our ideas."
Kasparov argues that Putin's extraordinary public support hinges
on the Kremlin's full control over the electoral process and
national television.
With all major political decisions in Russia now being made
behind closed doors in the Kremlin, Kasparov stresses the
importance for the Other Russia of following democratic procedures.
In electing Kasparov on Sunday, the coalition chose among six
candidates who had won at least one regional primary in recent
Kasparov was followed in Sunday's voting by Sergei Gulyayev, a
former member of St. Petersburg's Legislative Assembly, who
received 59 votes, and former Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov with
18, Mamina said.
The Other Russia also chose Kasparov to be one of three
candidates to head the coalition's list in parliamentary elections
in December. The others are former Central Bank chairman Viktor
Gerashchenko and Eduard Limonov, a provocative writer who heads the
banned National Bolshevik Party.
The coalition, however, has virtually no chance of participating
in the election for the State Duma, the lower house of parliament.
Only registered political parties can take part and none of the
political movements that make up the Other Russia qualify.
State Duma seats are distributed among parties according to the
percentage of the vote they receive.
In putting forward its candidates on Sunday, the Other Russia
got a jump on United Russia, the main pro-Kremlin party, which
opens its two-day congress on Monday. United Russia also is
expected to pick its "troika" of candidates to head the party
Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, a leading party member, said Sunday
that Putin could be considered for the top spot. Putin is
constitutionally required to step down when his second term ends
next spring, and uncertainty over his future plans has added to the
current political uneasiness.

Tnx all. Doing the sails and wires onze the Victory causes aan lot of painin neck and head. So this goes very slow. Trinidad was birthday present and the wilhelm was bought verry cheap. So in coulnd this one go. Its normal 840 euro ande i bought it for 150. But its a difficult one. Only drawings andere advertenties lot to find out yourself without picture book.
Does anyone know an easy way tot knot the ropes where they climb in?. Dont know the english name. Causes me a lot of pain in neck. Can only do 1 a Day.
I guess you mean the shrouts and ratlines?
Important is, to put a white paper behind, so you can see and recognize the lines easier.
Good video, it is always interesting to see how others do it. The ratlines themselves look really good. The distance between the ratlines is way out of scale, but he also said this. What I mean would create even better looking ratlines is using cow hitches on the first and last shrouds so the ends of the ratlines would point inwards rather than outwards.
and here the listing of knots the are explaining more in detail, not complete and not pure naval, but still interesting!
Still looking for aan quicker and less painfull way. Ik have reumatism and worn neck so making these knots causses aan lot of headaches for 2 days. Some glue to fix the the wires instead of knots?
I cant decide if i should maken the cannons black organisatie leave them as they are. The brass color. Anyone sugestions? Think black is more natural.
do you want to paint them in black or do you want to use chemical stuff?
Take a look at @didit ´s topic related to "looking at cannons"
Painting or blackening / brunisseur is the way you should do.
For blackening there are aloready fixed finished stuff like "Blacken-It" or "brass black" etc. available.
Tnx for Your time. Ik was an airbrush artist so think in paint them with my airbrush. Can give some nice effects with it.
Ik want try to make my own cannons. Does anyone how you can make them? From melted Iron or other materials exept wood.
I would suggest this book.
You can cast them from resin ( giethars ) with this you can create very detailed results.
Tnx but where do in make the mal (dutch word. Dont know the english word) from where you put it in for the shape?

Are you tired of having your foundation look like a mask rather than a better version of your natural skin? Well I have good news for you! Make Up Forever has taken foundation to a whole new level with their new Ultra HD invisible cover foundations that were designed for the demands of 4K technology all while looking amazingly natural!
4K digital technology is changing the way we see images. The image quality of 4K from clarity to color, displays images with extraordinary detail from TV to cinema, cameras, smartphones and monitors. What Make Up For Ever has done, is create an unprecedented foundation optimized for the digital lifestyle and is completely invisible under this ultra-magnified resolution. It creates a flawless, light weight, medium to full coverage look that has a second skin effect, even under the harshest studio lighting, daylight, and of course the greatest image technology today, 4K.
The perfect everyday foundation, the Ultra HD liquid formula is available in a whopping 40 shades and provides medium coverage with an amazing natural, oil free finish.
The Ultra HD Stick will allow fuller coverage, and a flawless complexion. It is also perfect for touch ups, and contouring and is available in 15 shades.
No need for Under Eye Concealer with the Ultra HD Invisible Foundation stick!
When I apply the foundation stick to my entire face, including the eye area, it actually covered my deep, genetic, dark circles to where I didn't need a concealer!…all while keeping a natural, radiant finish. This immediately became holy grail status and I have been using it every day since. With fine lines under my eyes as well, applying multiple products to cover my dark circles always ends up a cakey mess, but this foundation stick was all I needed and the results were phenomenal!
For sheer coverage use the Make Up For Ever #122 Blending Brush and apply in a circular motion. This is recommended for oily skin types.
To build coverage use the Make Up For Ever #108 Large Foundation Brush. Tap and build coverage where needed. This is recommended for dry and textured skin types.
« Get Whiter Teeth In Just 2 Days!
Which do you personally prefer Victoria? The stick or the liquid?
I am curious to try this Ultra HD foundation from MUFE – I tried the HD one before but it broke me out. I'm hoping this formulation is better.
Omg, I totally agree! I will focus in a scar or a stray hair and find myself having to rewind! Haha!
They look so interesting! Which one do you prefer?

A Seed Library in the Hampton Bays Public Library! Community members are able to procure and donate organic vegetable and native plant seeds for free as a public benefit. Establishing a seed library is an important step to develop a network of community based seed savers who create locally adapted plant varieties, increase biodiversity, and mitigate the loss of plant gene integrity due to the genetic engineering of commercially produced seeds and plants.
Envelopes containing seeds provide plant variety names and directions on germination, growing and harvesting. Anyone from the community is welcome to take a small amount of seeds to grow in their home garden or community garden and is encouraged to save seeds of their own to donate to the Seed Library for others to take. There is no fee for Seed Library usage, but an opportunity to donate funds toward the continuation of the program is provided (above).
Visit the Seed Library in the adult reference section of the Hampton Bays Public Library, and "like" the Good Ground Seed Library on Facebook!
🌱 Seed Saving Workshop (Late Fall) - A hands-on workshop in Seed Saving. Seed harvesting, processing, and proper storage procedures are discussed and practiced. Donations of locally harvested seeds are welcome. Seeds are used to restock the Good Ground Seed Library.
🌱 Seed Sorting Party (Late Winter) - An evening of seed sorting and socializing. Seeds are sorted into packets, used for the restocking of the Good Ground Seed Library. Most find seed sorting to be a meditative and calming experience.
🌱 Seed Sowing Social (Early Spring) - An evening of seed sowing and socializing. We will create potting mix, newspaper pots, and sow heirloom seeds. Participants can bring planted pots home to grow indoors, and then transfer to home gardens outdoors.
The Good Ground Seed Library is now open!
Join ECI - Sign up now!
The Good Ground Seed Library was unveiled to the community on March 8, 2017, along with a presentation from ECI entitled Restoring Good Ground: Sowing Seeds of Change.

Beat the best team in the country in midweek as well, clearly on a hot streak of form.
That's the trouble with a young team, it's ups and downs they can be great for a while, then terrible for a while then great again, was always going to happen.
With an average age of 25.5, Everton's squad is 0.2 years younger than our squad (25.7), yet we never see you apply that excuse in favour of Arteta's Arsenal.

Not if he's a man of his word.
Speaking after the 2-0 Premier League victory against West Ham, the City manager insisted the matter was not finished. "The club believes it is unfair so we are going to appeal and we are going to wait," Guardiola said. "I trust 100% what my club have said and what they have done, they have explained to me the reasons. We are going to fight, and we are optimistic that next season, if we qualify for the Champions League, we will be there."
Guardiola is under contract until the end of next season and has confirmed he will not be walking away from the club before that point. "Unless they sack me, which can happen, I will not leave," he said. "Why should I? I love this club, I like to be here, and after we have seen the sentence we will focus on what we have to do. I want to stay to continue to help the club and maintain this level as long as possible. That's not just because I have a contract, we want to fight to the end for the people who support this club."

Mourinho is a knob but you can't ignore the injuries they have, he took over a deflated team as well.

What that stat doesn't show is how rubbish we've been and how boring to watch and lacking in ideas going forward. Seems to me that Arteta has turned us into a negative defensive team (everything most Arsenal fans never wanted), if you do that clean sheets are easier to come back, even more so when you get the rub of the green as he has had, many teams have just missed simple chances against us, kinda masks the reality a bit.

yup. also... from the guardian
"Marcel Sabitzer's two-goal blitz perfectly illustrated the reliable midfield goal threat that Tottenham have been so lacking. Remarkably no Tottenham midfielder has scored in the Premier League or Champions League since Moussa Sissoko in December. This is a failure not just of individuals but also of tactics: goalscoring midfielders are a measure of territorial dominance, of playing the game in the opposition half and creating chances in dangerous areas. But if the defence is sitting deep and the attack consists of sporadic breakaways and forlorn long balls, then the midfield is essentially a factotum: a means of shovelling the ball somewhere else, before settling in for the next wave of defensive pressure."
sound like our midfield? i mean, ozilfor one, is afraid to even shoot anymore...
and no one else has even a whiff of a goal scoring threat bout them....sad

Yes but when Mourinho joined they didn't have any major injury woes and they have lost Son and Kane now but We have been down both LBs/LWBs, first choice RB, a CB for a while and now our primary DM - and as you know defending has been our biggest problem.
Spurs have Lamela and Moura - and lets not forget Moura got them to the CL final.

Daily Bulletin: Another City Suffers Multiple Mass Shootings in a Single Day

WHAT TO KNOW TODAY
Cincinnati joins the 2020 list of cities with multiple mass shootings in a single day. In all, during a 90-minute span early Sunday morning, gun violence claimed four lives and caused at least 17 injuries in the Ohio city. In one of the incidents, two people were killed and nine others were wounded at a late-night gathering in a park; another left one person dead and three others injured in the Avondale neighborhood. Detroit, Chicago, and Minneapolis have also had days with more than one mass shooting this year, The Cincinnati Enquirer notes. Across America, there were nine mass shootings over the weekend, including a domestic rampage in Michigan that left four people dead.
Another person was shot over a coronavirus restriction. A security guard at a gas station in St. Louis opened fire on three men who attacked him after being told to comply with the city's face mask mandate. We've spotted at least 13 shootings related to infection-avoidance mandates, leaving at least two people dead and nine people wounded. You can find our tracker here.
Armed protesters faced off at Confederate monument. Far-right militia members and Black counter-protesters armed with assault-style weapons gathered outside Stone Mountain Memorial in Georgia, where several heated arguments ensued. City officials had denied a permit to an Arkansas militia that intended to demonstrate at the memorial itself, and the park was closed when the group insisted on rallying anyway. Police made no arrests.
Federal monitoring overlooked far-right involvement in civil unrest. BuzzFeed News obtained internal emails and intelligence reports that circulated within the Federal Protective Service, a division of the Department of Homeland Security, during the first weeks of this summer's protests. The hundreds of pages of correspondence and briefings contain only one mention of white supremacists, related to a Washington, D.C., protest. BuzzFeed notes that while the feds extensively attempted to track protest networks through social media, agents appear to have largely ignored the threat posed by armed "boogaloo" believers, some of whom have called for committing violence at Black Lives Matter demonstrations to incite a second civil war.
NRA loses lawsuit over gun shop closures. A federal judge dismissed the organization's challenge to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's executive order shuttering gun shops in March to curb the spread of Covid-19. New York was one of a handful of states to declare firearms retailers nonessential businesses. The judge pointed to case law that bars associations from bringing actions on behalf of members, and ruled that the National Rifle Association had failed to identify an injury that the executive order had inflicted upon it.
White Georgia state trooper who shot Black motorist charged with murder. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation charged Jacob G. Thompson, 27, in the killing of Julian Edward Roosevelt Lewis, 60, earlier this month. Lewis had gone to the store to get a soda for his wife when Thompson pulled him over for a broken taillight. Lewis, who has been fired from the force, said he opened fire because he thought Thompson was going to drive into him. Thompson's family wasn't alerted of his death for several hours.
California researchers to study root causes of gun violence. A team from the University of California, Los Angeles, will map shootings by trauma center zones in the city and link gunshot injuries to social determinants of health in an effort to better understand the factors that leave some populations at greater risk of victimization. The project is one of seven to receive financial support through the latest grants from the state-funded University of California Firearm Violence Research Center. Another will look at how outreach workers with the successful Advance Peace model sustain themselves while doing their work.
DATA POINT
At least 40 people were shot in a 48-hour stretch in New York City starting from Friday night to early Sunday. [PIX 11]

Summary "The journalist who broke the "Jihadi John" story draws on her personal experience to bridge the gap between the Muslim world and the West and explain the rise of Islamic radicalism. Souad Mekhennet has lived her entire life between worlds. The daughter of a Turkish mother and a Moroccan father, she was born and educated in Germany and has worked for several American newspapers. Since the 9/11 attacks she has reported stories among the most dangerous members of her religion; when she is told to come alone to an interview, she never knows what awaits at her destination. In this compelling and evocative book, Mekhennet seeks to answer the question, "What is in the minds of these young jihadists, and how can we understand and defuse it?" She has unique and exclusive access into the world of jihad and sometimes her reporting has put her life in danger. We accompany her from Germany to the heart of the Muslim world -- from the Middle East to North Africa, from Sunni Pakistan to Shia Iran, and the Turkish/ Syrian border region where ISIS is a daily presence. She then returns to Europe, first in London, where she uncovers the identity of the notorious ISIS executioner "Jihadi John," and then in Paris and Brussels, where terror has come to the heart of Western civilization. Too often we find ourselves unable to see the human stories behind the headlines, and so Mekhennet - with a foot in many different camps - is the ideal guide to take us where no Western reporter can go. Her story is a journey that changes her life and will have a deep impact on us as well. "-- Provided by publisher.

Emory's varsity athletics teams won a total of three NCAA Division III national championships in the 2018-19 season, with volleyball, women's swimming and diving, and men's tennis bringing home top honors.
Emory scored its first national championship for the academic year in November when the volleyball team won its second-ever national title by defeating No. 1-ranked Calvin College at the D-III championships. The Eagles closed their season with a 30-6 record, marking the team's 12th straight season with 30 or more wins. Emory's previous volleyball national title came in 2008.
For the women's swimming and diving team, the NCAA win marked their 10th consecutive – and 12th overall – championship. The nine-point margin of victory over Kenyon in March was the narrowest in the history of the NCAA Division III women's national meet, dating back to 1982. The Eagles concluded the championship with five event national titles, 19 All-American honors and 17 All-America Honorable Mention certificates.
The No. 3-ranked Emory men's tennis team captured the program's fifth-ever national title on May 22 by defeating No. 1-ranked Claremont-Mudd-Scripps in the finals. The Eagles won their 18th straight match and closed out their season at 22-2 with the win. In addition to the men's tennis team championship, Emory also took home both NCAA Division III singles titles in tennis, with Ysabel Gonzalez-Rico claiming the women's title and Jonathan Jemison capturing the men's.
The three national championships won by Emory athletic teams during the 2018-19 school year bring the university's total NCAA Division III championship titles to 27.
Emory is a member of the University Athletic Association (UAA), which also includes Brandeis University, Carnegie Mellon University, Case Western Reserve University, New York University, University of Chicago, University of Rochester and Washington University.
Eight Emory teams won UAA championships for the 2018-19 season: volleyball, men's basketball, men's golf, women's swimming and diving, men's swimming and diving, women's tennis, men's tennis and softball.
Multiple teams reach NCAA postseason play
In addition to the three national titles, several other Emory athletic teams finished their seasons with appearances at NCAA Championship tournaments.
Men's Swimming and Diving: The men's team won five event championships and finished as the NCAA D-III national team runners-up for the second straight season. This was the fourth consecutive and 17th time overall that the Eagle men have finished within the top three at the national meet.
Softball: Emory's softball team closed its season with a runner-up finish at the NCAA D-III Championships. The Eagles finished the year with a 39-14 record, with its second-place championship finish its best ever at the tournament.
Women's Tennis: Emory's women's tennis finished the season with an overall record of 20-4, reaching the NCAA national semifinal before falling to Wesleyan University, which went on to win the national championship.
Golf: Emory's men's golf team reached the second round of the NCAA championship tournament but fell short of qualifying for the final two rounds when competition was cut to 18 squads. Emory's new women's golf program will begin competing in the 2019-2020 season.
Women's Soccer: On the soccer front, the women's team earned a NCAA D-III tournament spot for the first time since 2014, winning their first round match in overtime to notch the squad's first NCAA tournament win since 2013. They finished the season with a 14-5-1 overall record.
Men's and Women's Basketball: Both men's and women's basketball teams earned berths in their NCAA D-III tournaments, with the men advancing to the postseason for the seventh straight campaign while the women landed their first berth since 2013. The men's squad closed out the year with a 20-6 ledger and the women at 19-7.
Men's and Women's Cross Country: Emory's 25th-ranked women's cross country team scored 514 points at the NCAA D-III Championships for a 20th-place finish out of 32 teams. Emory men's cross country program showed continual improvement during the 2018 season, scoring top-four or higher finishes in five of nine competitions. The highlight – a second-place finish at the NCAA South/Southeast Region Championships – led to an automatic bid to the NCAA D-III Championships.
More successful seasons
Men's Soccer: The Eagles completed the 2018 season with a 9-7-2 overall record, the team's 18th consecutive season with a winning record. The Eagles reached the number 3 spot in the D3Soccer.com national poll during the regular season, the highest ranking for the team since the poll's inception in 2009, and moved as high as sixth in the United Soccer Coaches' top-25, the highest position for the program since 2014.
Track and Field: The Emory Track and Field programs earned a combined 26 South/Southeast All-Region outdoor track and field selections. To be named All-Region, an athlete must either be ranked in the top-5 of an individual event in the region according to final TFRRS data or be part of a top-3 relay team. The organization first began recognizing All-Region award winners in 2016.
The women's team, which finished the season as the top ranked team in the USTFCCCA South/Southeast regional rankings, earned 21 of the South/Southeast All-Region honors. Five of the men's team athletes earned All-Region selections.
The women's track and field team recorded a total of five All-America finishes as the team posted its second consecutive top-seven finish at the NCAA D-III Outdoor Championships. Dilys Osei highlighted the meet as she captured the program's second-ever track event national title, and first since 2002, winning the 400-meter hurdles. Dani Bland added a national runner-up performance in the 100-meter dash. Osei and Bland were two of three Eagles, along with Hannah Lansberry, who recorded multiple All-America honors at the meet.
Baseball: The Eagles logged a winning season with an overall tally of 20 wins and 19 losses, reaching the 20-win mark for the ninth consecutive season and 27th time in program history, going 8-8 in conference games and 16-8 at home.

Last month Google launched it's new series of smartphone that is pixel. The OEM of this pixel series is htc but these phones are designed by Google. In these smartphones Google gave it's own branding. By launching this pixel series Google has discontinued it's previous nexus series. Google launched two smartphones in it's pixel series that are Google pixel and pixel xl. The main difference between these smartphones is their screen size and resolution of display. It's nexus series is very famous for providing flagship features at very good pricing. But this time pixel, devices are priced very high. They have all the flagship features but price is really high.
Previously I have posted a review on the bigger one that is Pixel XL. Today I will discuss about the smaller sibling that is pixel. These smartphones have all the features mostly same such as same design, same chipset, same operating system, same camera and many more but still it has some differences. It also performs more or less like Google pixel xl but there are some minor differences. So today, I will not be going in depth regarding this Google pixel, I will discuss only about some differences.
The most basic difference between these two devices is their display size. Google pixel has a smaller display size that is 5.0 inches. This screen is an AMOLED type screen and the resolution is full HD that is 1080p. The screen quality is really good on this smartphone. The viewing angles are great and the brightness levels are also very good. Sunlight visibility is also very good. But if we want to enjoy any video with a VR headset, it is more enjoyable on Google pixel xl as it has a QHD screen with 2160 pixel resolution.
The next basic difference between these two devices is their battery. Google pixel is powered by a 2770mah non removable battery while the pixel xl is powered by 3450mah battery. As Google pixel's screen has a bigger size and larger resolution to have a better battery life it has a bigger battery size. The battery life on Google pixel is also very good. It can easily last up for a full working day with some amount of battery still left. We can simply get a screen on time of about 4 to 5 hours with typical days usage. But battery life is slightly better in Google pixel xl.
Another difference between them is their weight. Google pixel is 143gm while google pixel xl is slightly heavier at 168gm. It is obvious as pixel xl is bigger device. But both these smartphones are actually said to be lighter than other smartphones having the same screen sizes.
Google pixel is a very compact size phone. It has 5.0 inch display. It easily fits in one hand and so a very handy device. It is very easy to use with hand. While on other side Google pixel xl is somewhat a bulky device. It doesn't fit easily in one hand. So we have to use other hand to use this. Also for a 5.5 inch device it is bulkier than other devices having same screen, device like one plus 3 have also 5.5 inch screen but it is more easy to use than pixel xl.
The pixel phones are very expensive in India. Google pixel phone is priced at 57k for the basic 32GB version. It's pricing is just like iPhone pricing in India. And the funny thing is that flipkart is actually giving SBI card offer that is 10% cashback and also 7000 off on payment through HDFC bank card. But this is not a good strategy, Google should actually drop down the price for these devices to something around 50000 INR. The pricing for other model of Google pixel is 67k. While the price for pixel xl is 67k for basic version and for higher end version we have to spend actually 77k.
Except this all other features given in Google pixel are just identical to the Google pixel xl. It is also butter smooth just like Google pixel xl. It is among one of the most fast phones in the market. They have exactly same camera performance which is best among the flagships right now overall, same general performance with the same Qualcomm's latest chipset that is snapdragon 821 chipset, same ram management, same gaming performance, same stock android experience, same Google assistant feature, same new app functionality, same new pixel launcher and many other identical features. So if you want to know in depth about these all features you can read my blog about Google pixel xl.
My final verdict for this smartphone is that this phone is somewhat overpriced. We can actually get some extra features in other smartphones at 50k only such as Samsung s7 and s7 edge. But still it is a good buy if price is not a barrier and you want stock android experience, fastest updates in the market, mind blowing camera experience etc. if you can live with a boring design phone and also with some less features. And if you want to choose one among Google pixel xl and Google pixel my personal choice goes to Google pixel for it's compact size and As it has very minor differences from the Google pixel xl and also keeping price in the mind.

Top-ranked UCLA routs UH soccer team
In the Hawaii soccer team's first meeting against a No. 1-ranked team, visiting UCLA routed the Rainbow Wahine 6-0 on Friday, the first day of the Outrigger Resorts Classic.
A Waipio Peninsula Soccer Stadium record-setting crowd of 4,366 watched the defending national champions (4-0-1) score early and often. Five different players found the net in the first half for a 5-0 lead at halftime.
The previous hand-counted free-attendance record at WPSS was 3,175, set in 2005.
Early in the second period, UH (2-3) was charged with an own goal. The six-goal final margin was a record by a visiting team.
UH was outshot 14-5. The Wahine continue play on Sunday against Washington State at 5 p.m.

One of EEVBlog members, Gyro, provided photo of LM399 die in this thread, so we can compare both. They are very similar, but not exact clone.
These references were produced by Tesla, a national semiconductor and electronics manufacturer in former Czechoslovakia, Roznov pod Radhostem (It was a company with very long history – established in 1946). Unfortunately, MAC199/MAB399 production didn't last for long – probably only a couple of years around 1989, then an economic collapse came to Eastern Europe (triggered by collapse of USSR).
The semiconductor fab in Roznov was shut down and it seemed to be the end of production of semiconductors in Czechoslovakia. Hopefully, shortly after the shut down, Tesla semiconductor division was bought by Motorola. The reason was obvious: manufacturing costs were ridiculously low, yet quality was good. Next milestone came in 1999, when Motorola semiconductor division split into two companies – Freescale and On Semiconductor. Both companies are still present in Roznov, although only On Semiconductor has manufacturing facilities there (both silicon wafers and ICs are manufactured in Roznov).
Back to references: I have several pieces of MAC199/MAB399 and there is a difference: MAC199 got a little bit better care since it has gold plated legs.
MAC01 is a clone of Analog Devices REF01 .
As code fragment above shows, data is normalized using simple subtract math with reading at 21/04/2016-06:19:26, to show offsets of each reference output in microvolts scale.

We need to talk about diamonds

FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedIn
KP Civil Society disappointed by resistance to reform in the Kimberley Process
The Kimberley Process (KP) Civil Society Coalition (CSC) pushed hard for reform in the 2018 KP Brussels Plenary, with very concrete proposals, amongst others on changing the definition of conflict diamonds beyond the limited and outdated scope of rough diamonds financing rebel movements.
The CSC, together with industry (World Diamond Council) and Canada made a realistic proposal for a wider definition of conflict diamonds. This strong joint call to urgently adapt the KP to crucial concerns such as systematic and widespread violence, forced labour, the worst forms of child labour, violations of International Humanitarian Law and illicit financing of private and public security forcesmet with great resistance of other participating states ("Participants") at the KP plenary. Despite the commitment to reform expressed by the 2017 Brisbane Plenary, hours were lost on discussing whether the KP should be discussing these essential issues. Exchanges on substance were consistently and deliberately blocked by a number of Participants. After much difficulty, the Plenary managed to find agreement in acknowledging that proposals were on the table and will be considered by Participants, that are moreover invited to bring more elements to the discussion.
The Kimberley Process Civil Society Coalition urges all participating states to engage in this discussion of scope of the Kimberley Process sooner rather than later. "This will first and foremost be beneficial to mining affected communities who count the costs of violence, human rights violations and environmental degradation, while they should be reaping the benefits from their mineral wealth.", says Shamiso Mtisi, Chair of the Kimberley Process Civil Society Coalition.
"The resisting participants will find themselves on the wrong side of history. If not inspired by their obligations to protect human rights of the mining communities in their countries, they should at least respond to the threat of synthetic diamonds to producer country economies, and to consumers' calls to buy responsibly sourced diamonds. If the KP does not consider the ethical, human rights and environmental impact of mining, then natural diamonds will lose their market and the economies of diamond producing countries will be badly affected."
The KP Civil Society Coalition acknowledges progress on transparency of data. Confidence in the KP is at stake because confidentiality stifles transparency and accountability of the diamond industry. Useful and credible data on rough diamond production and exports must be publicly disclosed. "Against this background, we appreciate the decision to disaggregate the public statistics on the KP website by industrial production, on the one hand, and artisanal and small-scale production, on the other", says Shamiso Mtisi. "In furtherance of expanding the frontiers of transparency and accountability within the KP, we request that rough diamond data also be disaggregated to track or reflect gem, semi-precious and industrial rough diamonds."

Congrats to rapper Common on celebrating his 47th birthday this past weekend and his new partnership with film company Lionsgate!
Freedom road has been a spark for me in my creativity and life. I love working with our team and to now be partnered up with Lionsgate is a gift. We will create high level art, films, tv shows and theater pieces that express excellence and give voices to those who are not always heard. We will create opportunities for new voices and give jobs to those who may not have a chance yet to work in this business. So this is not only a blessing for us, but a blessing for all as we surely plan to spread the love.


Adolescent parenthood from an international perspective has predominantly been constructed as a problematised entity. Conversely, the revisionist viewpoint highlights the imperative to understand the subjective views and perspectives of these young parents in their social context and its influence as that of either enabler or constraint. Underpinned by Heidegger's phenomenological philosophy, this article explores 'being in the world' of the Irish adolescent parent. Drawing on qualitative interviews we reveal Irish adolescent parents' sense of personal and social self is influenced by ideological societal norms, values and beliefs. What these young Irish parents want is a supportive context that provides them with the opportunity to achieve their personal goals and ambitions. What they clearly do not want is to be viewed as too young to be a parent or different from older, parents.
