To ensure your game is up to date, check the game version found in Documents > EA > The Sims 4 > GameVersion.txt. Your game should now read: PC 1.46.618.1020/ Mac 1.46.618.1220. If you've updated but it's not showing the correct version, delete the GameVersion.txt file, restart, and all will be corrected.
❗ Remove all MODS and Custom Content before updating your game ❗
UPDATE: 08/16/2018 – PC 1.46.18.1020/ Mac 1.46.18.1220
Hey Simmers!
Summer will be over soon, but that doesn't mean we can't celebrate the warm weather with some free content for the community. The Sims community is truly global, which means we have so many fun stories to tell with events like Diwali, Day of the Dead, and more. Through our Sims' clothing, furniture, food, and activities, we are trying to celebrate the diversity within our community.
With summer in full swing, we shifted our gaze towards the sunny Caribbean and its vibrant, colorful clothing and styles. With Carnival taking place throughout the region, we took inspiration from the traditional patterns to craft some hip, modern clothing for your Sims to wear to a party, or perhaps the last picnic of the summer.
In this pack you'll find three new hairs, two of which have beautiful curls & textures! There are also numerous new clothing assets, some makeup, and even a little furniture. We should mention that it includes a ceiling fan and sliding door…
Check out the new assets, tell us what you think, and be sure to share your stories and creations in the Gallery!
Screenshots taken using the C key are no longer fuzzy. We had some schmutzle on the lens we had to clean off.
There are now three new hairs, as well as a head wrap.
In case you are looking for even more hair, there's a new stubbly beard!
There is an abundance of new clothing! We added two feminine tops, two skirts, snazzy sweatpants, a new suit, and some sandals. And if you can't decide how to set it up, there are new Featured Looks to kickstart your ideas (one male, one female).
Can't we makeup? There are new lipsticks, new eyeshadows, and new eyeliners.
There are now four sliding doors.
There is now a ceiling fan, in case you were curious about that breeze.
We have added a new wallpaper – look for its leafy goodness!
There is a new coffee table, potted plant, living chair, loveseat, and painting.
We fixed an issue where thought bubbles would overlap and never go away. It should be fixed now, at least, that is our thought. Bubble. Get it.
The word "Queer" is no longer banned by the profanity filter. As language evolves, it's important we stay on top of these things, so thank you for the feedback.
The Walls Down and Cutaway View options function as expected if an additional active Sim is added to your household when visiting an NPC home.
Two Sims can no longer try to pick up/wrangle a toddler at the same time.
Family Trees should accurately represent a Sim's lineage now with non-blank thumbnails.
Build Mode and Gallery music will no longer collide for dominance. We accidentally introduced a bug that was more or less the worst version of Battle of the Bands.
Expansion Pack, Game Pack, and any Stuff Pack fish types now count towards the Collect 20 Types of Fish goal from the Angling Ace Aspiration.
You can now live-drag microphones and place them in a Sim's inventory.
Employees now deduct funds when restocking, so it's no longer free. But also, the cheaper restocking perk now works for employees. We giveth, we taketh away.
Romantic Garden Stuff
The Wishing Well now gives you a soulmate with the gender of your Sim's romantic preference.
Sims walking around San Myshuno now act like it's cold outside, or hot, as you'd expect, if Seasons is installed.
Sims now dress appropriately for the weather to mourn.
Sims conducting athletic activity like basketball and jogging will no longer freeze to death. Sporting is once again safe.
If you have Laundry Day Stuff, seasonal clothing changes won't generate so many clothing piles.
There was an issue where Sims you created, but weren't currently playing, would be affected by weather, and therefore might immediately freeze to death when trying to play them. This seemed like a poor way to play The Sims, so we fixed it.
Various Text and Translation changes and improvements.

Q: Installing openambit on Ubuntu 12.04 My question is in regards to installing openambit which is software for Suunto's ambit watch.
I followed the installation instructions here but it didn't work.

$ cd libambit-build
$ cmake ../src/libambit
$ make
Optionally:
$ sudo make install

Everything went fine, but when I ran the make step:
$ mkdir openambit-build
$ cd openambit-build
$ cmake ../src/openambit
$ make
Optionally:
$ sudo make install

I was told:

The Mission Cafe at 82 Second Ave. near East Fifth Street closed back in November 2010 ... the space had been on the block for several months prior to the closure.
According to Crain's New York this afternoon, Village Grill 82 Inc. recently signed a 10-year lease for the 700 square feet of space. Per Crain's: "The eatery, which has yet to be named, is expected to open for business this spring."
Is this place run by the same people at Atlas? If so, I love their food and look forward to the cafe.


The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ("SJC") recently addressed the scope and interpretation of the Massachusetts Security Deposit Act, MGL c. 186, § 15B, in Phillips v. Equity Residential Management, LLC. Strang Scott previously discussed the implications of landlords' failure to comply with MGL c. 186 ("the Act").
The dispute centered around four different provisions of the Act.
First, Section 15B(4)(iii) requires landlords seeking to retain all or a portion of a security deposit to submit a written itemized list of damages to the rental unit, including precise detail of the nature of the damage and the necessary repairs and copies of estimates, bills, invoices, receipts, or other evidence to validate the amount deducted, sworn to by the landlord under the pains and penalties of perjury. Failure to comply with the requirements of Section 15B(4)(iii) forfeits the landlord's right to deduct any amount from the security deposit for damage or repairs.
Second, Section 15B(6)(b) states that a landlord loses its right to retain any portion of the deposit for any reason, if the landlord fails to furnish the itemized list of damages in compliance with the requirements of the Act.
Third, Section 15B(6)(e) states that a landlord cannot retain any portion of the deposit for any reason if the landlord fails to return the deposit, or any balance after deductions, within 30 days after termination of the tenancy.
Finally, Section 15B(7) provides triple damages, interest, court costs, and attorneys' fees to successful tenants where their landlord violated Section 15B(6)(a), (d), or (e).
The Federal District Court of Massachusetts awarded the tenant damages in the amount of his security deposit under Sections 15B(4)(iii) and 15B(6)(b), but denied an award of triple damages. On appeal, the First Circuit Court of Appeals submitted a certified question to the SJC, requesting clarification on the treble damages provision under Section 15B and whether a landlord's violation of the itemized list requirement, which forfeits the landlord's right to retain any portion of the deposit for any reason, also constitutes a violation of the Act.
The SJC answered "no" to the Circuit Court's question. In its decision, the SJC ruled that the triple damages provision under Section 15B(7) does not apply to claims for violation of the itemized list requirement of Section 15B(4)(iii) or to forfeiture of the deposit under Section 15B(6)(b). The SJC did find, however, that improper deductions under the first sentence of Section 15B(4), or the failure to return a deposit or account for any portion within 30 days, would constitute violations entitling a tenant to an award of triple damages and attorneys' fees.
If you have questions regarding whether your security deposit practices comply with Massachusetts law, contact experienced landlord counsel to evaluate your practices and to limit your exposure.

When Should Property Management Companies Contact An Attorney?
For most property management companies, picking up the phone to contact a lawyer is usually done with a sigh. If you are reaching out to an attorney, that often means that something has gone wrong and you need help in a difficult situation. So when should property management companies contact an attorney? The below topics are those most typically encountered by our property management clients. When these issues are addressed early with an attorney, a property management company will save substantial time, money and unnecessary aggravation.
Every property management company has some form of company structure (e.g. sole proprietorship, limited liability company or corporation). At the inception of a company, many owners simply ignore their structure while focusing on their expanding business. As the business grows, however, company owners need to look at their company structure and make sure it still makes sense. After all, internal disputes do not arise until there is real money at stake. When a dispute does occur, if the company structure is lacking, the ensuing litigation is going to become expensive very quickly. As such, company owners should ask themselves these three questions: (1) what happens if there is a falling out between the owners or someone passes away; (2) what happens if the company wants to expand; and (3) what happens when another company wants to purchase the existing company? Your company documents, such as your operating agreement, should contain the answers to these questions. If not, you should contact your attorney to make sure these items are addressed before they become an actual issue.
Running a successful property management company requires careful compliance with a lot of different local, state and federal law. Although there are many "standard" lease and property management agreements available on the Internet, the drafters of those agreements are usually not aware of the local nuances that may govern those documents. For example, unlike most states, it is illegal in Massachusetts to charge tenants certain upfront fees such as application fees and pet deposits. A standard lease from another state like New Hampshire may be unenforceable in Massachusetts. As such, it is important that you have a professional review your tenant lease documents. The same caution is applicable to property management agreements (i.e. agreements between you and your owner-client). Given the nature of their business, property managers are exposed to liability from several parties. Therefore, make sure you review your property management agreement with your lawyer and periodically update it as circumstances change.
Whether your company is a small operation or a Fortune 500 company, you will likely have employment issues at some point. Property management companies deal with unemployment claims, wrongful termination lawsuits and employee-misclassification. As mentioned in one of our recent articles, simply improperly classifying an employee as an "independent contractor" can be a costly mistake. If a suit is brought under the Massachusetts Wage Act, a company may be liable for triple damages, attorney fees and, in some cases, owners of the company may be personally liable. Unfortunately, many clients contact their attorney after one of these issues arise. To avoid unnecessary litigation, it is best to contact your attorney early to establish best practices for employment-related issues. When set up correctly, proper policies (e.g. employee handbooks, social media policies, etc.) and other preventative measures can minimize the exposure for employment claims.
The eviction process, particularly in Massachusetts, is very tenant-friendly. Nevertheless, acting early can greatly increase a property manager's potential for recovery and reduce the amount of rent loss. The key to an expeditious eviction is ensuring that the eviction notice is sent as soon as possible. In Massachusetts, you generally need to send either a 14-day notice or a 30-day notice, depending on the situation. It is important to remember that the eviction process does not begin until the correct notice is sent. If you fail to send the right notice, your case may be dismissed and you will be forced to start the process from the beginning. The other important aspect of evictions is making sure you have good information about your tenant. Setting up a proper screening process is critical. Too often, we have clients who do not have key information about their tenants (e.g. social security number, employment information and references). Without these critical items, collecting from a delinquent tenant is next to impossible. You should contact your attorney if you are unsure whether your screening process is adequate, or want to confirm that you are following the proper procedures for starting an eviction.
Property management companies of all sizes have multiple trades and vendors at their disposal. In fact, many have multiple vendors for the same services so that they can remain competitive and ensure they are receiving the best service for the best price. Often, these vendors have either (1) their own contract; or (2) no contract at all. Under either circumstance, if a dispute arises, the property management company is at an immediate disadvantage. If the contract was drafted by the vendor, it likely is one-sided. If no contract exists, the parties will be stuck piecing together what they believe to be their agreement. Therefore, make sure you review each and every contract with your vendors to make sure your interests are protected. If you do not have a contract with a certain vendor, contact your property management lawyer to draft one for you.

As mentioned in one of our recent articles , the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts ruled that Equity Residential Management violated MGL 186 § 15B when it collected application fees, amenity fees, community fees and pet fees. See Perry v. Equity Residential Management, LLC. In short, the Court ruled that landlords may only collect fees and/or deposits specifically listed under MGL 186 § 15B. Because that list does not include application fees, the Court ruled that it was illegal for Equity Residential Management to collect application fees.
In an apparent response to Perry v. Equity Residential Management, as well as other Massachusetts state court decisions on this issue, Massachusetts Senator Donald Humason recently sponsored Senate Bill 840, which would amend MGL 186 § 15B to allow landlords to collect an "application screening fee." The proposed change to MGL 186 § 15B is similar to other states' laws, like California. S.B. 840 provides that landlords may charge an "application screening fee" so long as the fee is not greater than the actual cost incurred by the landlord. That fee must not exceed $50 per applicant.
On May 12, 2015, the Massachusetts Legislature's Joint Committee on the Judiciary will review the proposed Bill. Given that S.B. 840 would provide much needed relief and clarification for landlords, Strang Scott will continue to monitor its progress.

It is common practice in the property management business for landlords to charge certain move-in fees, such as an application fee or pet fee, prior to a tenant moving in. This practice, however, is illegal in Massachusetts.
Late last year, in Perry v. Equity Residential Management, LLC, the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts ruled that Equity Residential Management violated MGL 186 § 15B when it collected from tenants an application fee, amenity fee, community fee and initial pet fee. Under MGL 186 § 15B, a landlord is only allowed to collect, as up-front charges to a tenant, (1) first month's rent; (2) last month's rent; (3) a security deposit equal to the first month's rent; and (4) the purchase and installation cost for a key and lock. While MGL 186 § 15B does not explicitly forbid application fees, move-in fees or pet fees, it does state that "no lessor may require a tenant or prospective tenant to pay any amount in excess of" the four permissible charges mentioned in the statute. Noting this restrictive language, and analyzing similar Massachusetts case law, the Federal District Judge in Perry ruled that the collection of these fees violates both MGL 186 § 15B and Massachusetts's Consumer Protection Act (MGL 93a). A violation of MGL 93a exposes a defendant to triple damages and attorney fees. Thus, something as small as a $50 application fee could expose a landlord to thousands of dollars in damages.
Many property management companies and landlords throughout the country charge additional fees as a matter of course. It is doubtful that any of them think twice about the practice. After all, these additional fees help defray costs and sometimes add additional revenue for landlords. Even so, the collection of application fees, move-in fees and pet fees is impermissible in Massachusetts and given the recent decision in Perry v. Equity Residential Management, LLC, it is likely that this will become a much larger, and expensive, issue for landlords in the near future.

UNITED NATIONS, September 20, updated -- As recently appointed UN officials and envoys have gotten older and older, the UN's Young Professionals Program which recruits people under 32 years old ostensibly fairly worldwide is viewed a one solution.
But Inner City Press has received complaints that due to UN Office of Human Resources Management computer problems with its INSPIRA system, deadlines for applications had to be extended -- and then were NOT extended, disproportionately excluding applicants from countries with low Internet bandwidth.
The UN has an office of Information and Communications Technology, and is considering replacing its former chief Choi with Rudy Sanchez or a deputy controller, sources tell Inner City Press.
Sanchez has headed UN Peacekeeping's computer system, including a large and reportedly under- and mis-used program in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the MONUSCO mission which top UN peacekeeper Herve Ladsous refuses to answer Press questions about.
But OHRM, apparently to keep a pool of money all for itself, decided to (unsuccessfully) administer this Young Professionals Program application cycle itself -- for some reason, from Bangkok.
After granting extensions, when it should have granted another one due to difficulties of uploading into the system, suddenly no extension was granted.
This is bad form for the UN, even worse when one considers which countries are now disproportionately excluded.
Inner City Press: This is not a political question, it's more of an Internet question. There is the Young Professionals Programme that's run by OHRM [Office for Human Resources Management] and the Inspira system and there were, at least I have heard of a number of complaints by people that the deadline for application was extended because the computer system wasn't taking any applications, but in the final analysis, it wasn't extended any further, and there seems to be a concern that this left people, particularly in countries with low bandwidth, unable to submit their applications. And I wanted to know, I don't expect you necessarily to have it with you, but if there is a response from the UN system to what were the problems with accepting the applications and especially what do they make of this criticism that people in the countries where they don't have broadband, as some others might, couldn't apply equally to work for the UN?
Spokesperson Nesirky: Well, first of all, I am aware, as I think many people in the UN system are, that there was a difficulty with Inspira recently that was tackled and addressed. There was an extension of deadlines; I am also aware of that. I would need to check with our human resources colleagues how widely that extended deadline applied and what provision, if any, has been made for those who might have had difficulties because of low bandwidth or because of the technical problems that I just mentioned. But let me check.


A few weeks ago, Mayor de Blasio announced that large swaths of Central Park and Prospect Park would soon be closed to car traffic on weekdays all year long. The ban—instated none too soon for joggers, bikers, walkers, and their advocates—went into effect this morning along the Central Park loop north of 72nd Street. Prospect Park's West Drive between Grand Army Plaza and Park Circle will follow suit on July 6th.
Councilmember Mark Levine, who chairs the Parks Committee and oversees a district abutting Central Park, was pleased this morning—with an asterisk. Last year, he introduced a bill that would have banned cars entirely from Central Park for the summer. "We've been pushing this on the legislative front for some time," he said. "And we consider this a major step forward. It's going to cover about two thirds of the park, and cuts into rush hour, when the greatest number of people are out jogging and running."

Richard James "Jim" Metscher, adjunct instructor of sociology, touched the lives of thousands of students in his 35 years with Columbia College, many of whom have expressed how much they were influenced by him, said Dr. Terry Smith, executive vice president and dean for academic affairs. The void created by Metscher's death can't be filled, said Smith.
Metscher was an instructor with the college's Day and Evening campuses, and he was one of the first Evening Campus instructors. In the past year he taught exclusively in the evening.
Barnhouse said that one of Metscher's strengths was encouraging students to think -- not just about the facts but to think through their logic. Mike Morrison, adjunct professor, agrees with Barnhouse. Morrison was not only a colleague but also Metscher's former student.
When Morrison came back to teach at Columbia College, Metscher was there as a colleague. "Jim helped calm me down when I was first starting out," said Morrison.
Morrison and Metscher had been collaborating on the development of a new course, Political Sociology, for the Evening Campus that they would team-teach.
Schultz, like others, was hoping to take another course with Metscher before graduating.
Smith described Metscher as a professional friend and said the two of them exchanged books that challenged their thinking. "He was a Renaissance thinker," Smith said.
Metscher's colleagues stepped in to help complete his August session courses and to assist students without taking his place, Skinner said. Students in Metscher's classes were offered an administrative drop if they didn't feel they could continue. Skinner said she is working with Morrison and James Earhart, sociology instructor, regarding the October session.
Kelly C. Enright, Online Campus administrative assistant, is compiling a collection of accounts describing Metscher's impact on people's lives. This compilation will be presented to Metscher's wife Lizbeth, Humanities instructor at the college. Thoughts and memories may be sent to kcenright@ccis.edu.
Another way to honor Metscher is through contributions to the Richard James "Jim" Metscher Memorial Endowment at Columbia College. For more information, contact the Office of Development at (573) 875-7563.

Q: How to define multiple common sources I want to create the following project structure with gradle
FlavorA
     java
        sources
FlavorB
     java
        sources
FlavorC
     java
        sources
main
     java
        sources
commonCodeWithFlavorAAndB
      java
        sources
commonCodeWithFlavorAAndC
      java
        sources

now I created this project structure, and defined the sourceSet srcDirs in build.gradle
however, when i try to run flavorA it says a class from commonCodeWithFlavorAAndC is missing to run A
How can I fix it?

A: When you create different flavors it has two aspects to deal with

*

*res folder

*java files

*

*With res folder, you can actually have same file in main, FlavorA ,... Android will automatically MERGE it.

*With java files, the classes canNOT be merged. It can only be replaced.
See this for better understanding
https://stackoverflow.com/a/23710180/1852441
Ie. In order to override a class called Activity1.java (for instance), you will have to remove it from main folder and provide each flavor with Activity1.java.
That is why the compiler says it is missing a class.

A: The problem was caused by an error in refactoring.
When I split the files into different implementations, it for some reason changed the package name of the given file in the FlavorAAndC folder,
even though it was on the same path folderx/foldery/file
the top line of "package" said "folderx.foldery.folderz?!.file"

I Got a New Lock. Should I Install a Deadbolt Too?
What is the Difference Between Single and Double Steel Deadbolts?
While the basic workings of both types of deadbolts are similar, single-steel deadbolts only need a key to get in the house. Double steel deadbolts have locks on both sides. Double steel deadbolts might seem like a good idea, but they are actually a potential hazard. That's why building codes in some states and even some municipalities have made double steel deadbolts illegal to install. They can actually prevent you from leaving your house in the event of an emergency. How? Consider the scenario below.
Let's imagine that someone has accidentally started a kitchen fire. The fire is rapidly spreading throughout your house, sending you and your family into panic mode. Worse, the fire has burned through the walls, destroying the electrical wiring that was inside the walls, so now you have no power in your house! Although a deadbolt may only take seconds to unlock in ideal conditions, fumbling through a dark room looking for the key to a fire in your house is a scary experience. By the time you find the key, the fire will probably have already burned your house, and you and your family with it!
This scenario happens a lot more than you might think! According to data from the National Fire Protection Association, over 166,000 kitchen fires were reported between 2010 and 2014. That's an average of 41,500 kitchen fires per year. The number one cause of these fires was unattended cooking equipment, accounting for 33% of kitchen fires and almost half of the civilian deaths and injuries caused by these fires.
We recommend getting a single steel deadbolt. Single steel deadbolts, when installed correctly, provide more than adequate protection against most burglars without causing any egress issues. Then, if you really want to make it hard for burglars, you can have wrought iron security bars installed on your windows. Although it's not a perfect solution, it's certainly better than just depending on a small block of wood and glass standing between a burglar and your valuables. Locks are easily picked, doors can be kicked in, and glass is easily broken. Remember that most burglars want to get in and out of your home as quickly as possible. Burglars don't want to spend time defeating proper security measures. Furthermore, in the kitchen fire scenario mentioned above, you and your family would be more likely to live to see another day, and that alone is worth the cost of having the deadbolt installed. Remember that possessions can easily be replaced, but you and your family are irreplaceable.


I have a package on the website for a really special event. I emailed the vendor last week. Nothing. Thought maybe it was vacation week so I waited.
Called today. Got voicemail. Still nothing.
I'm not sure who to call now. The guest is expecting this and is coming in a couple of weeks!
Finally made contact. They are no longer offering the service in my town. Will accommodate my guest but I removed the special from my site.
It's OK, I have a new land and sea tour coming up that will be fun.
Add another hat for the innkeeper! Venture Hoy! Good Luck! Nice of them to let you know!
Never ceases to amaze me how some handle (or not handle) their businesses. It is not just in our industry! How do they stay in business I will never know.
Not long ago I tried to get in touch with a local business to write a blog article on them. They had told me to call them. I did, left a message, nothing. Messaged them on FB, nothing.
Decided just to wing it in the blog, posted it on their FB account and whala they posted comments & now I am a best friend.
A lady told me this week that the reason they booked with us was because of the quality of my email replies. She said before they started out we were the only accommodation that she felt confident about her booking.
Good news for us, but a terrible advertisement for Scottish hospitality.
I always feel if people are too casual - then how professional are they?
(1) rang a London BB we had been recommended to as being a very good price and nice service - budget but fine was the description - phone was answered with "Hello" and that was it - didn't even know if I had the correct place!
(2) people who allow their kids to answer the business line - sorry but if they are under 16 please don't do this!
I had an email asking if guests could put a baby cot in the room with them. They had read the 2 person max because they quoted it to me in the email.
I replied back they could take these other rooms for the 3 of them.
So I need to just answer the question I am asked. No, you can't put three people and a baby cot in this room.
After telling DH for 3 years to please answer the phone with at least the name of he B & B and getting nowhere, a caller asked, "Is this the B & B?" From that day on, he got it and now ALWAYS answers with Gillum House. Not the way I do it, but better than hello.
In the days B E (before e-mail), I sent the same letter to 2 windjammer schooners - how do you get on and off the schooner as my husband is handicapped? One sent back the brochures we already had and the other sent a 4-page letter detailing every facet of life on board. Guess which one we booked? And I took 3 more, Himself went once more and that trip we had another couple with us. On the 2 without Himself, I had a friend who wanted to go (but not alone - when do we leave) and the last time with 2 other friends. That totaled 15 fares thanks to one letter - plus I have told many, many others about it - even doing copies of the latest newsletter and rate schedule for guests who are interested.
is it anything that it is possible to source from somewhere else? if so would try and do so. Also do they have a physical location or facebook page? this is how we found out that guests would not be arriving at my neighbours property as they had posted on facebook they were flat out dealing with a flooded warehouse!
Good idea. I'll try fb. They're too far away to drive over.

About Chandigarh
Located on the west coast of British Columbia, Canada, is the gorgeous city of Vancouver. It is famously known to be one of the most densely populated cities in the country. Not just the population but even the ethnic diversity sets the city apart from the others. Vancouver has a plethora of gardens and parks, along with museums and galleries. The city has managed to find fame amid travellers in recent years. Owing to the landscape scenery and thriving food establishments, Vancouver has grown into becoming one of the most important cities in Canada. It is easy to connect flights to Vancouver as well.
Best time to visit (Vancouver)
Vancouver is predominantly a cold city with temperatures barely exceeding 22 degree Celsius. However, the spring, summers and fall are pleasant in Vancouver, giving way to tourists. Since summer is the peak season in Vancouver, often you will find a plethora of tourists from around Canada to flock over for some fun. The city's thriving culture and lifestyle, topped with the slew of amazing festivals such as TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Vancouver Pride Parade & Festival, Vancouver Folk Music Festival and Bard on the Beach, further make people want to head to the city. With so many events and lovely weather to take in, the hotel prices and flight tickets also tend to get expensive. Plus, with the crowd, it might be difficult for you to enjoy a quiet and quaint environment. The cruise port also gets busy as the travellers need to be accommodated. However, the spring season will get your spirits high and your pockets happy. From March to May, the city turns lively as the cherry blossoms bloom and the whales pass through the Vancouver waters. It is a beautiful sight and certainly comes with great perks.
There are some fascinating events such as the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Festival and Vancouver International Dance Festival that take place during spring. It is certainly the kind you shouldn't miss as the streets turn carnivalesque. Autumn is just as favourable as spring as the city prepares for the winters. It is easier to book hotels in Vancouver during this season as people are departing from the summer fun, reducing the demand for the city. Just as the temperatures go down, even the hotel prices and flight ticket costs drop, making it easier for tourists with a strict budget to traverse. While the city folks continue with their fairs and events, a new wave of budge tourists come over to be entertained by what the city has to offer. The temperatures would require you to carry jackets and coats along with you. It can get super cold, especially if you're from a hot country and are not used to the drop in temperatures. The experience of autumn in Vancouver is just as beautiful with the city streets turning crimson red as maple leaves flood the streets.
Places to visit (Vancouver)
Life in Vancouver is on the outside and not indoors. The city bustles and brims with opportunities for tourists to engage in. The Stanley Park is one sweet place from where you can begin your Canadian tour. Granville Island is the one place that will give you trendy restaurants, theatres and alluring galleries. All you've got to do is to hitch up a ferry ride and ho to the island. Another lovely place to visit would be Queen Elizabeth Park, a famous outdoor attraction in Vancouver. Famously known as the Kitsiklano 'Kits' Beach, the stretch of shores finds itself in the lines of an LA or Venice beach, thanks to the pristine water it touches. Spanish Banks Beach is another thrilling spot that would make you happy, especially if the water is something you love. The city has far too many gardens so you will never be tired of the greenery around you. The VanDusen Botanical Garden also deserves to be visited as it is one of the pretty places. It's not just gardens and beaches though, the city also has Yaletown, a chic neighbourhood to indulge in some upscaled lifestyle.
One of the best things to do in Vancouver is easily the famous Capilano Suspension Bridge. It is 450 ft long, and 230 ft elevated from the ground that offers a stunning view of the river flowing under. It is quite thrilling and definitely poles apart from the feeling the gardens in Vancouver invoke. You can indulge in some leisure sightseeing and shopping at the Lonsdale Quay Market. Another fun thing to take up in Vancouver would be to indulge in a food tour. As the city does brim with a vast opportunity for lip-smacking food, you will not be disappointed with the establishments the city has. Sailing is another activity that you can take up in the city. It would be fun, and you will get to learn something new. Plus, for the outdoorsy kind, you can visit Grouse Mountain for some adventure fun.
Food and restaurants (Vancouver)
Vancouver is nestled along the Pacific coast, making seafood as it's the staple food. In fact, much of their food has fish and other aquatic life as the base. That includes the classic fish and chips too, which is otherwise a London speciality. These can be found in the city's markets such as Granville Island. The place is ideal for you to explore their seafood delicacies. While Granville has some of the basic but delicious street meat, Yaletown upscales the whole experience, which would be ideal for you if you're on a romantic rendezvous. The setting at Yaletown is formal and posh. Some of the food establishments that you should visit during your trip are Rodney's Oyster House, Blue Water Cafe, to name a few. These are the best seafood restaurants in the city which you will surely like. You can also check out YEW Seafood + Bar, which is located at the Four Seasons Hotel in Vancouver. Their speciality includes Sidney Island venison and Qualicum Bag scallops. These are a big hit in the city, and something many would recommend.
A little away from Vancouver is Richmond (in British Columbia), where you'll find more seafood with wild salmon, tuna, mussels, crab and halibut too. What makes this place special is how the fish are fresh catch of the day which the fishermen get from the docks. These you can find at Steveston Village. Not just seafood but Vancouver also has its own version of Chinatown where you will find some of the best Asian dishes. In fact, you can also experience the little India that is settled in Vancouver. There is a Punjabi Market which is basically an Indo-Canadian neighbourhood located in the South Vancouver. Rest assured, all your cravings for Indian curries and delicacies shall be fulfilled here.
How to reach Vancouver (Transportation)
There are no direct flights from Indian to Vancouver. However, the flight connectivity to Vancouver from India is exceptional. Canada, in general, receives a lot of tourists and potential residents from India. Due to this, the popularity of flights to this route is quite high. In fact, every second day, there are people travelling to Vancouver or other parts of Canada. Since there are no direct or nonstop flights to Vancouver from India, many airlines do have services to reach with layovers in other international cities.

Will Spain apologize to Mexico for actions during conquest?
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said on Monday he had asked the Spanish government and Pope Francis to apologise to indigenous Mexicans for wrongs committed during the Spanish conquest some 500 years ago.
Lopez Obrador said in a video shared on Facebook and Twitter he had written to Spain's King Felipe VI about the matter.
"I already sent a letter to the king of Spain and another letter to the Pope so that they ask forgiveness of indigenous peoples for violations of what are now known as human rights," he said.
Spain is one of Mexico's biggest sources of foreign direct investment. The Mexican government has yet to ratify a new free trade deal reached with the European Union in April 2018.
Speaking with his wife at an archaeological zone in the southeastern state of Tabasco, Lopez Obrador said the letter cited massacres that took place during the Spanish conquest at the beginning of the 16th century.
"The churches were built above the temples, our patriotic heroes were excommunicated," he said. "We are going to reconcile but first we ask for forgiveness."
Spain's foreign ministry did not respond immediately to a request for comment. The ministry published a statement rejecting the contents of Lopez Obrador's letter, according to domestic media. Reuters was not immediately able to obtain a copy of the statement.
"The arrival 500 years ago of the Spanish on present-day Mexican territory cannot be judged in light of contemporary considerations," the government said, according to Spanish media.
"The government of Spain reiterates its willingness to work together with the government of Mexico."

Review: The Girl On The Train
"I have lost control over everything, even the places in my head"
Title: The Girl On The Train
Author: Paula Hawkins
Genre: Crime, Thriller & Mystery
Price: £3.85 (Amazon)
Rachel gets a chance to become a part of the lives she has watched from afar. It all began with her taking the train every day. Religiously, it waits at the same signal each time where it overlooks a row of back gardens. Though she never met the occupants of one of the houses, Rachel feels like she knows them and their 'perfect' life. But nothing is ever perfect and Rachel will prove that she's much more than just the girl on the train.
Okay, where do I start with this book? I have to be honest, I have read this book some time ago and I started writing this review straight after I finished but I just found myself putting it off. You can guess by that, that I wasn't too happy with the book. Usually, when I really like something I cannot wait to rave about it.
I am quite disappointed with The Girl On The Train. Now, I'm not a book critic or an expert whatsoever but I judge a book by how it makes me feel. In a nutshell, this book was predictable and lacked originality.
Comparing this book to Gone Girl was sure a great marketing move but personally it made me feel a little bit betrayed. The book was way too over-hyped. I felt relieved to have finished it and that's the first time I've actually felt like this about a book. I guess that's what happens when you set your expectations too high.
The closer it got to the end, the more bored I got and am I not supposed to feel the exact opposite at that point? The culprit was predictable and so I paced through the last few chapters when it was clear because I just wanted to get it over and done with. The story slowly eased into the revelation of the culprit, who by that point was quite obvious. And that's the part I hated, I don't like easing into things. I wanted it to be instant, a shock like bam this person committed the crime, you would have never guessed it.
I found it very stereotypical that a man left a fat brunette for a skinny blonde. It definitely doesn't help anyone's self-esteem. And you know what I would like to see more of in books? Interracial couples. It's not really relevant to the story but it would be more realistic if there were more people of different skin tones and nationalities especially as the book is set in London.
Okay, so the book is not all bad, in fact I like that Paula Hawkins chose to portray the main character, Rachel as an alcoholic because usually you find that the men in books are alcoholics. During the alcoholic moments, I felt sympathy towards the character of Rachel but other than that I wasn't very attached to her character or any of the other characters for that matter.
The book is a light read so if you want to make your own mind up about it then go ahead and read it.
I give The Girl On The Train a rating of 2/5 (which I feel is quite generous) because the story lacked originality and towards the end it got so boring, I didn't even feel like finishing it. I would have very much liked to feel more attached to certain characters because I think that would made me feel more as if I was part of the story.
To all those who love this book, I do apologise if I came across harsh. I'm just sharing my opinion with you, everyone has definitely got preferences when it comes to books and book genres. And, it's not possible to like every single book you read!

A puff is a very practical and decorative object because you can weave them in different colors and forms. Also, you can use them in anywhere in the house, and move or stack them if you need more space. Puffs create a modern and relaxed ambient, and is better if you can make them just using T-shirt yarn.

Q: How best to say "having dinner" & "talking with my wife" Which sentences are grammatically correct and make sense?

*

*I was having dinner, talking with my wife.

*I was having dinner and talking with my wife.

*I was having dinner as I was talking with my wife.

*I was having dinner while talking with my wife.

I think 1 2 4 are okay, except 3. But 2 seems to sound awkward. The best choice would be 1 or 4.
I posted this question because some native speakers told me sentence 1 sounds unnatural.

A: All are grammatical, perhaps suiting different contexts.
I was having dinner, talking with my wife. Suddenly there was a crash outside, we rushed to see what had happened.
I was having dinner and talking with my wife. Just the ordinary end of an ordinary day.
I was having dinner as I was talking with my wife.  I'd sent for room service and I put her on speakerphone.  "Why don't you get the children to say hello?" I asked her.  "Oh, they've been in bed ages, just me tonight."
"I was having dinner while talking with my wife", that's what you said, sir, when the constable asked you where you were at 8.30 last night.  Are you sticking with that statement sir?

A: As previously stated, all are accurate grammatically. Although they are extremely similar in meaning, there are subtle differences, and the different techniques may be used in different cases and for different reasons. Here is why and when each may be used.

Notes ✎ Participles
Participles are words that come from verbs. Like verbs, they describe actions, however they can be used like adjectives.
There are two types of participles:

*

*Present Participle: typically ends in "ing"

*Past Participle: often the same as the verb's past tense (eg: made) but not always.

  Eg:

*

*verb: to go

*present participle: going

*past participle: gone

Let's look at your sentences:

*

*I was having dinner, talking to my wife.
In English, adjectives are sometimes placed after a noun, typically as a phrase and using a comma to separate them.

E.g. "The girl, strong and brave, boldly faced the rattling serpent"

In the above example, "strong and brave" describe "the girl". It is no different with participles, which are often used this way since they can be followed by phrases like the verb would. In the first example, this is the structure being used, with "talking", the present participle of "to talk", referring directly to the speaker.
Compared to the other three sentences, this structure is typically used to show one action being more important in the message than the other.

The tall boy is strong

In the above example, the speaker is trying to convey that the boy is "strong", not really that the boy is "tall". The word "tall" is only present to describe the boy, in this case, to identify which boy is meant. Likewise, in the first sentence, "talking to my wife" is only there to describe what is happening in the background while the speaker is having dinner.

*I was having dinner and talking with my wife.
In each of the last three sentences, conjunctions are used instead: "and", "as" and "while". The difference between each of these sentences is the meaning of the conjunctions.
and - "and" is a pretty basic conjunction that shows that both "I was having dinner" and "I was talking with my wife" are true.
as - "as" can be used to mean "while" or "because". It is generally used to specify what case an action occurs in: "I was having dinner" occurred when "I was talking with my wife".
while - "while" is also a pretty basic conjunction meaning "at the same time".

Lastly, you can also swap these conjunctions with pretty much any other similar conjunction, though some may not make sense in almost any situation, however they would be grammatically correct.

*

*I was having dinner because I was talking with my wife. (I guess talking to his wife makes him hungry)

*I was having dinner but talking with my wife. (Some people just want to eat in peace and quiet)

*I was having dinner then I was talking with my wife.
