One of the most stylish and reliable wood burning stoves on the market has now been relaunched in a new, improved version. Danish manufacturer Lotus has given the new Jubilee 25 a slimmer, more elegant look, in keeping with contemporary interior design trends. Moreover, by retaining its capacity to burn pieces of wood up to 40 cm long, the stove continues to guarantee long-lasting, steady heat.
The fire is easily controlled using the Comfort Air Control system, which allows the air vent to be set to various positions. This makes the stove reliable and enables the heat to be adjusted to ensure a constant, comfortable temperature. Even when the stove is very hot, the air vent lever stays comfortable to handle thanks to its new silicone grip.
One of the daily pleasures of lighting a fire is watching the flames, and the large glass window on the Jubilee 25 gives a clear view. The new version of the stove is also easier to open and use due to the larger, insulated handle and the new Soft Close system, which "locks" the door when it's closed gently.
The combustion chamber in a Lotus wood burning stove features smart Clean Burn technology, delivering an extra-high combustion temperature and optimal utilisation of the wood. Additionally, the entire process is cleaner because the smoke gases are burnt off in the stove instead of being released.
The log compartment makes it easy to store enough wood to provide many hours of warmth. And for those who would like a sleeker look, there is the option of adding a door to the compartment. The new Jubilee 25 wood burning stove is available in steel, soapstone and Indian Night – all various shades of black.

Porsche changes the game with the electric Taycan
Porsche's first-ever electric vehicle, the Porsche Taycan, dropped hot and heavy in its world premiere this November, which took place simultaneously on three continents.
The four-door, fully electric sedan had its European unveiling in Berlin, Germany; it's Asian event in Fuzhou, China; and a North American presentation in Niagara Falls at the border of the U.S. and Canada.
"The Taycan links our heritage to the future. It carries forward the success story of our brand – a brand that has fascinated and thrilled people the world over for more than 70 years," said Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG, in a press release. "This day marks the start of a new era."
The Taycan will arrive in two variants – the Taycan Turbo S and Taycan Turbo – but Porsche promises two down-tuned versions to follow later.
The all-wheel-drive Turbo and Turbo S each house a pair of electric motors and 800V setup, including a rear permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) good for 450 horsepower in each. In the front of the Turbo is a 235-horsepower while the Turbo S gets another 255 horses from its front engine.
The duo of powerplants brings the Taycan Turbo S up to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. The Turbo will make that same sprint in 3.2 seconds. Top speed for both is 260 km/h.
Range, meanwhile, is set at 412 km per charge in the Turbo and 450 km in the Turbo S. And thanks to the 800V configuration, the Taycan's battery can be charged up to 80 per cent full in just 22.5 minutes.

Cumberland County denies school district's request for additional $8.9 million
By Morgan Norwood
FAYETTTEVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) -- A budget battle is affecting students in Cumberland County. On Thursday afternoon, Cumberland County Commissioners rejected a request from Cumberland County Schools for more money.
Cumberland County Schools learned they would not be receiving the additional $8.9 million it requested for nurses, counselors and social workers. Donna Vann, Chair of Cumberland County School Board said CCS is below the state mandate for personnel per child.
"We may not have all the counselors that we need all the social workers that we need. But the people we have in place are top notch and they will continue to work as hard as they can," said Vann.
County leaders did agree to fork up an extra $919,000. About $400k will go to the nurses and counselors while about $500,000 will go toward school resource officers; an added bonus. Jeanette Council, a former educator and longtime county commissioner says the board did everything it could do to keep from cutting county priorities and raising taxes.
"I know that the schools have never-ending needs and what we have to have the public to understand is that we cannot make up on the local level, cuts that are on the state level," Council said.
Cumberland County Schools and the County will work over the summer to reach a funding agreement. For now, the school board is going back to the drawing board.
"We're going to have to look at programs we have in place and programs and or needs that might be more critical that we have in place," Vann said.

A steel monolith that was recently discovered in the American desert has now disappeared as mysteriously as it appeared. The monolith was first found earlier this month by rangers in the Utah desert during a wildlife survey. No one officially knows who created the object or what it was intended for, though theories have ranged from an art installation, to a prank or even extraterrestrial origins. Now the three-meter tall object has vanished. State officials have confirmed that the object disappeared at some point late last week. Though they say they don't know who or what may have removed it.

In This Story: Utah
Utah is a state in the western United States.
The territory of modern Utah has been inhabited by various indigenous groups for thousands of years, including the ancient Puebloans, the Navajo, and the Ute. The Spanish were the first Europeans to arrive in the mid-16th century, though the region's difficult geography and climate made it a peripheral part of New Spain and later Mexico.
Disputes between the dominant Mormon community and the federal government delayed Utah's admission as a state; only after the outlawing of polygamy was it admitted as the 45th, in 1896.
A little more than half of all Utahns are Mormons, the vast majority of whom are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which has its world headquarters in Salt Lake City. Utah is the only state where most of the population belongs to a single church. The LDS Church greatly influences Utahn culture, politics, and daily life, though since the 1990s the state has become more religiously diverse as well as secular.
The state has a highly diversified economy, with major sectors including transportation, education, information technology and research, government services, and mining and a major tourist destination for outdoor recreation.
A 2012 Gallup national survey found Utah overall to be the "best state to live in the future" based on 13 forward-looking measurements including various economic, lifestyle, and health-related outlook metrics.

Zinedine Zidane: 'Nothing Has Changed' on Gareth Bale Future After Arsenal Goal
Matt JonesFeatured ColumnistJuly 24, 2019
25 CommentsComment Bubble Icon
Matthew Ashton - AMA/Getty Images
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has said "nothing has changed" regarding Gareth Bale's future despite his goal against Arsenal in the International Champions Cup.
In his first pre-season appearance, Bale came off the bench to net for Los Blancos in an ill-tempered 2-2 draw on Tuesday. The Wales international had missed Real's match against Bayern Munich on Saturday.
After the meeting with the Gunners, Zidane was asked again for his thoughts on Bale, with the coach having previously spoken candidly about how he wants the player to leave the club this summer, per Sacha Pisani of Goal:
"He is with us, and we will continue working. We play well 10 against 11 and better 10 against 10. I don't know what will happen. He wanted to play and the other day no.
"I haven't talked to him. He has trained normally and that's why he played. Nothing has changed, you know what the situation is like."
The competition Twitter account shared a clip of Bale's goal from FedExField in Washington, D.C.:
International Champions Cup @IntChampionsCup
Today's match highlight from @realmadriden vs @Arsenal brought to you by @budlight! https://t.co/9eBa316RIp
Plenty were surprised to see the 30-year-old involved in the game given the recent war of words between Zidane and his camp.
After the match against Bayern Munich, Zidane said "we hope he leaves soon" when asked about Bale's future. The Frenchman also said that before the match with the Bundesliga club, Bale "didn't get changed for the game because he didn't want to."
Meanwhile, Bale's agent Jonathan Barnett hit back after some of Zidane's comments:
Football on BT Sport @btsportfootball
"Zidane is a disgrace!" Gareth Bale's agent, Jonathan Barnett, is furious with Zidane's comments on the Welsh winger. 😡 https://t.co/HCJwHherZP
His overall record compares favourably to that of his manager, who was a Madrid icon:
B/R Football @brfootball
Damn. 😳 https://t.co/4LXXYPhYg9
It doesn't appear as though finding a new home for Bale will be straightforward.
Sid Lowe of the Guardian reported Bale was considering a move to the Chinese Super League, with Manchester United no longer interested in the Welshman and Bayern Munich unable to afford the winger.
However, as BBC Sport's Simon Stone relayed, reports from China indicate that a transfer taking Bale to the country is now unlikely:
Simon Stone @sistoney67
Wherever Gareth Bale is going (if anywhere) it doesn't sound like it will be China. https://t.co/HBjYJcLOgP
Spanish football commentator Rob Palmer thinks Bale's exit may be important in Madrid getting other deals over the line:
Rob Palmer @robbopalmer
President of @realmadrid to Zidane "You really want Pogba? You get Bale off the wage bill!" Zidane to Media "It's nothing personal but...."
Despite his remarkable success at the Santiago Bernabeu—Bale has won the UEFA Champions League four times, scoring on three occasions across four finals—there has never been a strong affinity between the former Tottenham Hotspur star and the Madridistas.
With that in mind, Zidane's attempts to accelerate a transfer aren't likely to kick up much of a fuss among the fanbase. It will now be intriguing to see if Los Blancos are able to find a club to take one of their top earners off their hands before the transfer window closes.

Committee supports granting partner for democracy status to the Jordanian Parliament
On the basis of a report presented by Josette Durrieu (France, SOC), the Political Affairs Committee meeting in Brussels today came out in favour of granting partner for democracy status to the Jordanian Parliament. The PACE is due to take a decision on the matter at its winter plenary session in Strasbourg (25-29 January 2016).
The committee welcomed Jordan's commitment to give priority to in-depth constitutional, institutional, political and legal reforms. "The partner for democracy status provides an appropriate framework for the continuation of the reform process by the Jordanian Parliament", it said.
At a time when the peoples of a number of Arab and Mediterranean countries are clearly expressing their desire to enjoy fundamental political and social rights, the committee deems it important that the Jordanians want to modernise and stabilise their political institutions "so as to continue firmly on the path of democratic transformation; and this despite the instability of the region and of their borders."
The draft resolution sets out a list of areas where further progress is needed, in particular the constitutional and decentralisation reforms, adopting an elections act, constitutionally guaranteeing equality between men and women, abolishing the death penalty set out in the Criminal Code and implementing justice reform with a view to ensuring the independence and impartiality of judges.
The Moroccan Parliament, the Palestinian National Council and the Kyrgyzstan Parliament already have this status, introduced in 2009 in order to strengthen institutional co-operation with parliaments of non-member states in neighbouring regions wishing to benefit from the Assembly's experience in democracy building and to participate in the political debate on common challenges which transcend European boundaries.

Harry Potter Is A Founder Of Hogwarts Fanfiction
November 28, 2022 by Julie
Harry Potter and the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
During the years of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry The characters from Harry Potter and his friends are enrolled in the school. In the end, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry is the main setting of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It is a fictional British school for children 11-18 years old.
Hufflepuff house
The Hufflepuffs may not be the most known of all the houses, but they have left a lasting impression on the Harry Potter world. The Hufflepuffs are known for its generosity, loyalty, and willingness to help. They are also committed and hardworking. They are also known as the home of the most talented witches and wizards.
Newt Scamander, a Hufflepuff is one of the most important characters from the Harry Potter franchise. He was a remarkable magizoologist and was loved by all. He was never angry when he was detained and sentenced to death. He remained calm and focused and was able to get through the incident.
Every student is assigned an Hogwarts house in their first year. This is based on their personality traits. The Sorting Hat does the heavy lifting and puts students in the right House to challenge their personality. It's a great opportunity to determine the strengths and weaknesses of a person.
The Sorting Hat is creative and magical. It was created by J.K. Rowling and pays tribute to the magician's hat that belonged to Godric Gryffindor. It is also used to determine which students will be placed in Hogwarts Hostel by the Founders of Hogwarts.
The Sorting Hat can also be used to determine what home a student should reside in. It is able to read a wearer's mind and respond to their thoughts. It can even talk to them. It can also be used to determine the House which a student comes from and also to present the Sword of Gryffindor only to those who are qualified.
Required Room
During Harry's time at Hogwarts The Room of Requirement played a crucial role in the story. It was not only where Harry obtained his first (and final) horcrux but it was also the place where Voldemort discovered his diadem. In actuality the Room of Requirement was so enigmatic that it took the best part of a year Dumbledore to reveal its dark past.
The room also houses a range of odd-looking artifacts like the Sorting Hat, which is an ancient artifact. The hat also boasts an legilimen that utilizes legitmization to read minds. This is a challenging task, but it has been accomplished by a few.
Established by Salazar Slytherin, Slytherin was known for its self-preservation and ambition. Slytherin was also known for being cruel and selfish. In fact, Slytherin produced the most Death Eaters.
The common room of the Slytherin was located beneath the Black Lake. It had rough stone walls and silver lamps that hung from the ceiling. It is famous for its breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.
Slytherin was an opulent House, and Gryffindor was known for its rivalry with Slytherin. Hufflepuff is the most petty of the four houses, was known for its virtues of loyalty, patience and dedication to work.
Hogwarts is the home of all students during the academic year. Students live in dormitories, and can sleep in large four-poster beds. Professors teach students. There are House tables, where students can socialise. There are also notice boards located in strategic places all around the school.
The Library at Hogwarts is a excellent place to begin your Harry Potter journey, whether you are a Harry Potter enthusiast or just curious about the magical world. It houses thousands of books. However, it also has a section that is restricted to students who have provided written permission. This section is located on the lower floor.
The library is divided into five stories of bookshelves. The first story is the main room, which is illuminated with natural light via leaded and stained glass windows. The ceiling is a whopping 65 feet high.
The second story is home to the headmaster's office. It also contains the Charms classroom. The Reading Room is located on the third floor. This is the only room in the library that is completely silent. It is where you will find rows of study tables covered with red-carpeted walls. Under the study tables are outlets.
Deathly Hallows
Despite its popularity as a fantasy novel the Deathly Hallows is a real story about three former Hogwarts students who are in hiding from Voldemort in Godric's Hollow. The plot revolves around the final battle between Harry Potter, Voldemort, and others.
This is the seventh volume in the Harry Potter series, and is the final chapter of the boy wizard's story. The book was released by the Bloombury Publishing Company on July 21, 2007 and was translated into 120 languages. The book has sold over 500 million copies around the world making it the top selling fantasy series of all time.
Five short stories are also included in the book. A few of the stories are linked to the Deathly Hallows story.
It is located in the Scottish Highlands, Hogwarts is a magical school for young wizards. Established in the 10th century it was established to safeguard wizards from Muggle persecution. Hogwarts is one of the most prestigious private boarding schools in the UK. The Forbidden Forest surrounds Hogwarts, also known as the Dark Forest.
There are many secrets in Hogwarts. Some of these secrets are kept from view like the Chamber of Secrets. Some are well-known and often used, like the Leaky Cauldron Restaurant and Gringotts Money Exchange.
The Chamber of Secrets was constructed by Salazar Slytherin prior to his departure from Hogwarts. It was created to cleanse the school's Muggle-born students. Voldemort believed that he won the final battle and was planning to take all Hogwarts students to Slytherin. However, he was killed before he could carry out his plan.
The Chamber of Secrets lies deep beneath Hogwarts school. It is the home of the old Basilisk. When Dumbledore's Army is betrayed, the Chamber is left open. It also houses floor cushions that can be used to protect against Dark Detectors and defensive spells. The Chamber is also home to an immortal memory of Tom Riddle, who was killed by Harry Potter.
The Chamber of Secrets is also home to two serpents, in the solid wall of the Room. They have the eyes of emerald. They are believed to be summoned by Tom Riddle. They are also able to create the Devil's Snare, a large snake that attacks anyone who enters the Chamber. The Chamber is also home to a snake-scratching tap. Fang is a massive boarhound in black is resident in the Chamber. He is more friendly than Mrs. Norris.
The dungeon is home to the Slytherin dormitory. The room is green and has carvings on the armchairs. It also has an image of Salazar Slytherin. The room is furnished with lamps that are green and emit the room has a greenish glow.
The Hufflepuff dormitory has low ceilings and is a comfortable, sunny space. The plant life hangs from its ceiling. It also has a common room. The badger is considered to be the House animal. The badger is believed to represent family gathering. The house also has a ghost named Nearly Headless Nick.
There are a few routes that can be used to take you from the school up to the castle. They aren't always readily accessible, however. These are usually concealed by tapestry or by a secret entrance. Some of these short-cuts are only known to members of the House. The secret entrance of Hufflepuff is hidden behind barrels. It is also under spell and if you tap the barrel in a rhythm it will open the slimy chute.
The Dark Room is the place where Dumbledore's army meets. It is also where the battles are fought during the Harry Potter series. It is also where Dumbledore argues for Harry's defense. It also has floor cushions for defensive spells as well as volumes of Defence Against the Dark Arts.
There are also secret entrances into four House dormitories. These entrances are hidden from the outside and require the use of a password. These entrances are used by the members of that House.

Nearly half of social casino players in the US spend real money on their pretend games, according to a new study.
Market researchers Newzoo's latest survey of US social gamers found that 46% of social casino players had dug into their non-virtual wallets to play games in the past six months. Zynga's Hit It Rich! Slots title ranked highest in the share of gamers who were willing to dig deep to keep playing.
In age and gender terms, men accounted for 59% of the monetized social casino market. One-third of males between the ages of 21 and 35 years were found to be social casino spenders, compared to 22% of females in the same age bracket. Males aged 36 to 50 ranked third at 20%, followed by 16% of females in the same bracket, while males and females aged 10 to 20 years scored just 6% and 3% respectively.
Social casino gamers patronize an average of 5.6 different franchises and Infiapps' Slot Bonanza was deemed the most engaging social casino title. In terms of time spent playing a single social casino franchise, 2.5 hours per week was the average of the 17 franchises studied. Some 25% of players dedicated two to five hours per week to a single title, while 21% played less than one hour and just 5% reported playing a single title for 15 hours or more.
Churchill Downs Inc's Big Fish Casino was deemed the social casino app most likely to be played along with others and was also dubbed the least challenging social casino app. DoubleU Casino players were most likely to agree that their game was too damn hard.
Gaming technology supplier Scientific Games has launched a new social casino brand, which will feature content from its Bally, Williams Interactive and Shuffle Master divisions.
Hot Shot Casino made its debut on Facebook this week with a mobile launch planned for later this year. The Hot Shot Casino mobile app will coexist alongside Sci-Games other new brand, Quick Hit Slots, which includes the company's popular Jackpot Party and Gold Fish apps.

Rise of Incarnates is coming to an end
Michael Arrieta
Service for Rise of Incarnates will be ending soon.
Publisher Bandai Namco has announced that the free-to-play brawler, Rise of Incarnates, will be ending service soon. On Steam, the publisher posted a termination notice, stating that the servers for the game will be shutting down on December 15th.
Bandai Namco has stopped selling the in-game currency, Incarnate Points, which can be purchased with real money. All characters will be free until the game shuts down, and all other paid items will be reduced in price, with some even going free.
Rise of Incarnates is a two-versus-two fighting game by the developers behind Tekken and Soulcalibur. The game is similar in style to Bandai Namco's Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme VS. series. The game was released through Steam Early Access earlier this year, and officially released in July.
Last month, Bandai Namco announced that another one of their free-to-play fighting games, Soulcalibur Lost Swords, was shutting down as well. The game was for the PlayStation 3.

This is where you'll find some infrequent film reviews.
None of these are official reviews; this is simply me waffling about films I've bought or already own on DVD. Hopefully I can direct people towards something interesting they've never seen before....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SQUIRM (1976)
When I was much younger I loved the man-versus-nature films that were in vogue during the 1970s, and Jeff Leiberman's Squirm is, to me, the best of them all.
The small coastal town of Fly Creek, Georgia suffers a monumental overnight storm. Power lines are brought down and left to generate masses of electricity into the earth, which brings up hordes of local worms to attack the populace.
I'd only ever seen it before on grainy third-generation VHS, and it was wonderful to see a nice clean print on DVD. It's long been one of my favourite exploitation films of the era: witty, classy, clever, and actually rather creepy. The special effects, although primitive, look a million tmes better than most modern CGI (even the worms projected onto a victim's twitching body to signify that she's been engulfed), and the ending is a joy of clumsy symbolism and skin-crawling terror.
The cast give decent performances, and a lot of the secondary roles seem to be taken up by local characters who were dragged in to film their scenes. The rubbery worm effects are suprisingly effective: a slow-moving avalanche of pink and red that swallows everything in its path.
Leiberman was always a canny director - he knew his limitations, and that of his budgets, and constantly tried to work around problems to produce something fresh. Squirm takes its time in getting anywhere, using the structure of a mystery until it's finally time to unleash the beasties. The final fifteen minutes are marvellous, with a house under seige by killer worms, human emotions running wild, and a desperate fight for survival that takes place amid the ruins of a family.
SOYLENT GREEN (1973)
I hadn't seen Richard Fleischer's Soylent Green since I was a teenager, so decided to enjoy another viewing just to see if the film had stood the test of time. Well, when I say enjoy, I think I'm possibly misguided, because Soylent Green might just be the most depressing film ever made.
Set in a dystopian future (2022) suffering from over population, pollution and food shortages, the film creates a hideously claustrophobic atmosphere. Charlton Heston plays Robert Thorn, a cop who's workload is so heavy that he can barely spare time to sleep. He is assisted by an aged friend called Sol (played by the brilliant Edward G. Robinson), who does all the deskwork while Thorn does the endless legwork.
New York City is depicted as a smog-filled urban nightmare, with people sleeping on staircases, balconies, and under tarpaulin shelters in the streets. Rotting apartment buildings are guarded by gunmen, who control the numbers of residents. The populace is fed on Soylent products - Soylent Yellow, Soylent Red, and the eponymous Soylent Green, which is in short supply. They are watched over by edgy riot police, and arrested at the first sign of public dissent.
Thorn starts to investigate the murder of a rich, high-ranking member of the Soylent Corporation, and slowly uncovers a conspiracy that leads him to question the entire nature of the society he is helping to police.
The film is relentless in its depiction of urban misery. Part mystery, part future noir, part social commentary, the plot weaves its way through an environment of utter despair. The only recent film I can compare this to in terms of bleakness is John Hillcoat's The Road, which is another exercise in pure horror dressed up as SF.
The 1970s produced some black-tinted visions of the future - brilliant, challenging films like Soylent Green, Westworld, Rollerball, Logan's Run. It's difficult to imagine these films being made today, with their lack of high-octane action scenes, slow pacing and clever, screenplays. I yearn for a return to this kind of SF filmmaking. These films are now more relevent than ever, and watching Soylent Green again left me feeling cold inside. I can see it happening. It's dark, amoral world is just around the corner from our own.
OF GODS AND MEN (2010)
Bravery is tough to quantify. It's easy in Hollywood movies, where a man in a vest will wipe out a tower block full of terrorists, but in real life courage is a much more subtle thing to define.
Of Gods and Men (Des hommes et des dieux) is based on true events. A group of Trappist monks stationed in an impoverished Algerian village must decide whether to stay and stand behind what they believe in or leave and be safe when terrorists start to exert pressure upon them.
It's a slow, almost ponderous film, but at the same time it's utterly gripping. Over the two hours plus running time we get to know the monks as individuals, and even begin to understand a little of what was going on at ground level during the Algerian Civil War. There's no onscreen violence, nobody is physically threatened, but as the film progresses we begin to fear more and more for the lives of these simple monks.
It's an astonishing piece of work. Beautifully shot, brilliantly written, and with some sublime performances from the leads. It's rare that a film can captivate me as much as this one; I didn't want it to end.
But when the ending comes, it leaves you feeling both sad and uplifted. These men - these real life heroes, for want of a better word - stood their ground and fought quietly, humbly for what they believed in. They demonstrated a commitment to a lifestyle that is difficult for most of us to understand and they asked nothing in return for their sacrifice.
Afterwards I watched a documentary that formed part of the DVD Extras, and found out what actually happened to the monks (a detail the film leaves out). It's horrifying, and if I can find one flaw in the film it's that it pulled its punches: we should have been shown their fate, if only to demonstrate the ultimate price of their commintment.
See this film. Remember the heroism of these men.
The other night I watched on DVD Harry Kümel's Daughters of Darkness. It's been a long time since I first saw the film - on Alex Cox's much missed Videodrome series, if memory serves - and it was everything I remembered it being.
Based loosely on Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla, and casting Delphine Seyrig as a sexually charged Countess Bathory, the film has a young honeymooning couple stranded in an off-season Ostend hotel. Bathory and her equally sensual consort arrive, and the couple is subjected to a seductive onslaught that leads, inevitably, to crimson-washed mayhem.
The pace of the film is wonderfully ponderous, it's incredibly pretentious, and when the violence comes it's all a bit contrived and comical. But I loved it. Everything I enjoy about European horror films is there: pretension, perversion, gleeful sadism, gratuitious bloodshed, and an utter disregard for the logic of real life situations and characters.
The location of a somewhat blustery Ostend is used wonderfully, and could almost be seen as a visual metaphor for the ennui of the characters. The hotel is a treasure of faded grandeur. The actor who plays the hotel manager is deliciously dour, Seyrig is sex in high heels and gold lame, and the girl who plays the young wife has the sexiest nose I've ever seen in a film.
Just look at the picture above and tell me you don't want to see that...now go and order the DVD.

At QB, the Giants Have Bruises, Bandages and Bomar
Wall Street Journal—August 19, 2010
Super Bowl-winning franchise quarterback Manning and six-year veteran No. 2 quarterback Jim Sorgi were hurt in Monday's 31-16 preseason opening win over the Jets, Mr. Manning gruesomely. First run into by tailback Brandon Jacobs, he lost his helmet on a blindside wallop from Jets linebacker Calvin Pace and then smashed into safety Jim Leonhard's facemask. The hit opened a three-inch gash on his head, gushing so much blood that Giants chairman John Mara said it put his heart "not in a good place."
With his characteristic cool, Mr. Manning admitted that the blood initially worried him a little only because "if it's on your head you don't know how deep it is or how big the cut is." But he said it wasn't even his worst cut, that when he was 3 or 4 years old, he cut his head in virtually the same spot. And then he joked that his wife's biggest worry is "over the scar I'll have."
Mr. Manning could show such levity because he said he has no pain and no other injuries. He ran through a battery of tests at Hospital for Special Surgery Tuesday and another concussion test Wednesday morning on the SUNY-Albany campus. The only thing keeping him from playing, he said, is giving the stitches enough time to do their work. "I physically feel fine," he said. "I know what's going on. I'm all there. So it's just a matter of getting the helmet on."
A member of the Giants equipment staff said a helmet with extra padding could indeed be fashioned, but Mr. Manning said the medical staff is "just playing it safe right now."
Mr. Sorgi's sidelining may be just as precautionary. He was leveled on what ended up being his second touchdown pass to undrafted rookie sensation Victor Cruz, and came out of the game with soreness in his ribs and throwing shoulder. While Mr. Manning, in shorts and a baseball cap, did lob a few passes in receiver drills, Mr. Sorgi couldn't even do that.
"You hope it's nothing worse or more severe than (soreness)," Mr. Sorgi said before Wednesday's practice. "I don't think anybody thinks it is. But I'm not a doctor, so you have to see the doctors and let them check you out."
Giants team physician Dr. Russell Warren of Hospital for Special Surgery was scheduled to examine both players Wednesday night on campus, Mr. Coughlin said. The coach said Mr. Manning may be given clearance to do some throwing wearing a hat instead of a helmet, but he was less optimistic about having Mr. Sorgi back.

I would like to make the imputation with SimpleImputer considering the column category.
Namely, I would like to assign the mean considering the product's category.
If the product doesn't have a category, so, I would like to consider the mean of products without category.
So, to complete sugar for code 01.
I am only going to consider all sugars of products with category B

code

I did something similar, as I show below. But I need to do it with SimpleImputer.
To clarify, in the case below, I completed the NaN without category with the mean of the column.
for col in df.columns:
    if df[col].dtypes == "float64":
        df.loc[df[col].isna() & df["category"].notnull(), col] = df["categories"].map(df.groupby("category")[col].mean())
        df[col].fillna(df[col].mean(), inplace=True)

A: I'm afraid you cannot use only SimpleImputer for this kind of problem (at least as far as I know).
However, you can create a custom class of Imputer using scikit-learn's very flexible classes BaseEstimator and TransformerMixin.
A very basic class would be something like the following:
from sklearn.base import BaseEstimator, TransformerMixin

class WithinGroupMeanImputer(BaseEstimator, TransformerMixin):
    def __init__(self, group_var):
        self.group_var = group_var

    def fit(self, X, y=None):
        return self

    def transform(self, X):
        # the copy leaves the original dataframe intact
        X_ = X.copy()
        for col in X_.columns:
            if X_[col].dtypes == 'float64':
                X_.loc[(X[col].isna()) & X_[self.group_var].notna(), col] = X_[self.group_var].map(X_.groupby(self.group_var)[col].mean())
                X_[col] = X_[col].fillna(X_[col].mean())
        return X_

On your sample dataset:
imp = WithinGroupMeanImputer(group_var='category')

imp.fit(df)

imp.transform(df)

Cemeteries have always held such mystery and romance. Did you know, however, that graveyards didn't become popular until the mid 19th century. Before the adoption of actual graveyards, people just buried their loved ones on the family property and marked the grave by placing rocks over the site. Later on, people began burying their loved ones in the courtyard of local churches where it was more desolate and protected by gates. In the mid 19th century, cemeteries became a necessity because the yards of the churches were becoming over populated with dead corpses. Below are a few more lesser known facts about cemeteries.
Many people who died prior to the 18th century had their graves completely covered in heavy stones or iron cages. These iron cages are known as "mortsafes." Mortsafes were constructed to protect a loved one's grave for four reasons: 1) to protect the corpse from grave robbers 2) to protect the grave from people sitting or walking all over it 3) to prevent animals from being able to dig up the corpse, and the most troubling of the bunch 4) to prevent the dead from coming back as a vampire of zombie.
Grave markers used to be made of wood and only cost a little over a dollar to purchase. However, things changed when people began to discover just how easily wood deteriorated. It only took five years for the wood to rot so much that people would have to purchase a new marker for their loved one. Deciding that the cost to continually renew the wood grave marker, people started turning to a more permanent choice: galvanized iron or marble.
There are several people throughout history who have opted to be buried in an unmarked grave however. John Wayne, Mozart and George C. Scott are just a few famous people in history who wished to be put to rest without a marker.
Cemeteries have always had a way of captivating an audience with it's mystery, however, there are still many things to discover when learning the history of cemeteries. From the history of the grave stone to the mystery of unmarked graves, there is still so much to be learned. To learn more, contact a company like Romero Family Funeral Home Corp.

In Shakespeares works intransitive verbs sometimes acquire the transitional value.
Disguise is one of Shakespeares favorite devices, found in many of his works.
When Shakespeare wrote his first works, there was not much depth in the elements such as characters.
As opposed to Shakespeare's earlier works, the three elements in his plays changed.
One of the reasons Shakespeares later works went down hill was because of his language.
William Shakespeare dedicated most of his life to creating some of the greatest works ever written.

Hola VPN Review & Test 2019 - Free, but not worth the risks!
What is your opinion on Hola VPN?
Hola is incredibly easy to download and install. The setup takes just a minute, and everything is automatically configured with minimal user input.
That said, Hola is a little weird on desktop – especially on Windows. Instead of a dedicated app, you operate the VPN through a browser window. Most users will find the best value in the Chrome and Firefox extensions.
With no real settings available, you can launch Hola straight away and forget about it. New users will appreciate the simplicity, but those looking for more depth will likely be disappointed.
Hola is primarily advertised as a free service, but it also offers a paid Plus package.
You have five different options available – one month, six months, one year, two years, and three years. The monthly subscription is the most expensive, with an increasing discount for longer plans.
Overall, Hola offers flexible but costly pricing. Payment methods include credit cards and Paypal, as well as other platforms (Alipay, GiroPay, SOFORT, iDEAL).
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies aren't supported.
Hola is a stable service across all platforms.
We didn't encounter any uptime issues during our tests. That said, Hola tends to leak your real DNS, as well as WebRTC data.
Support is, in a word, non-existent. Without live chat or tickets, Hola is hard to contact. There's a listed email address for support, but questions are often left unanswered.
In short, if you're looking for a dependable, secure VPN with helpful and responsive support, Hola isn't the one for you.
Hola forgets about the "private" in "virtual private network." It has no encryption and keeps extensive user logs. It also claims its peer-to-peer connections are more secure and anonymous than traditional VPN servers – that's not true.
There's nothing private or secure about Hola, because it's a proxy service that calls itself a VPN. It's fast and the free version works well for basic unblocking. But if you're looking for a full-fledged VPN service, you should look elsewhere.
Hola is one of the better-known names associated with VPNs. A product of the Israel-based Hola Networks Ltd., this service has amassed over 180 million users since its launch in 2012.
Hola isn't a traditional VPN by any means. It's a freemium service, meaning you can use it without paying anything. That said, you can subscribe to the Plus package and benefit from some extra features.
Hola also likes to market itself as the first peer-to-peer VPN. Instead of offering a dedicated server network, it's built around users sharing their connections with each other.
Hola is big on its peer-to-peer model. But does this bring any value to users, or is it just a cheap move that benefits the company while exposing you to serious risks?
Streaming – Does Hola VPN Work with Netflix?
A few years ago, everyone was happily using their VPNs to access the best Netflix libraries from around the world.
Netflix (and other famous streaming platforms) wasn't too happy about that, so it implemented advanced detection to stop VPNs, proxies, and other unblocking tools.
Today, finding a VPN that still works with Netflix is a challenge.
Hola claims to unblock a bunch of geo-restricted streams (including Netflix) if you pay for the Plus package. While we had luck with BBC iPlayer, ITV, and a few others, we couldn't get past the Netflix blocks.
Since Hola connects you to other peers using the service, you can't try different servers like you normally would with most VPNs. It's also very popular, so there's a good chance most available IPs are quickly blacklisted by vigilant streaming platforms.
Please note that in some cases Hola might work. But from what we've seen, Netflix has studied this service well and detects it with ease. In the end, Hola wasn't reliable in our tests, so it's far from making the best Netflix VPNs list.
Speed Test – How Fast Is Hola VPN?
Here's the thing – Hola VPN isn't an actual VPN. It's a peer-to-peer proxy service.
Misleading advertising aside, this is good news if you're mostly interested in speed.
You won't notice a a 1.21% decrease in download speeds. Even better, the UK connection managed to unclog our upload speeds a little!
Not bad at all, considering our test location is far away in Europe. Even though our speeds were cut in half, the U.S. connection was still good enough for hassle-free browsing and HD streaming.
Impressed with the results, we checked out an Australian connection. We were hoping for a pleasant surprise.
The 83.76% decrease in download was expected due to the great distance between our test location and Australia. However, the upload speed dropped by 97.58%, becoming close to unusable.
That said, keep in mind these numbers will likely improve the closer you are to the connection source.
Overall, Hola was able to deliver great speeds. Not a surprise, considering it's a proxy tunnel without any encryption to slow it down.
Is Hola VPN Good for Torrenting?
If you're looking for a good torrenting VPN, you should avoid Hola.
It's not just the fact that torrent traffic isn't allowed. Even if it was, you'd be exposing yourself to serious risk.
See, torrenting is a peer-to-peer service, similar to Hola. And that's exactly what makes it so effective and dangerous at the same time.
In order to torrent safely, you need a VPN with solid encryption and security features to protect you from snooping hackers. Hola doesn't offer any of that (we'll explain in just a bit).
Overall, it's a good thing that Hola blocks BitTorrent connections. You'll be much better off with a VPN service that actually supports safe torrenting.
Security – Is Hola VPN Safe?
Here's where we get to Hola's biggest problem.
Simply using this service is a security risk – especially for free users.
Remember how Hola's bread and butter is utilizing idle resources? Well, they include yours, too.
You may not give it much thought while signing up for the free version, but you're actually sharing your own bandwidth when using Hola.
Now think about this – someone launches Hola, gets your shared resources, and proceeds to do something illegal. Guess which connection will show up during the following investigation?
Yep. When using Hola, you can actually be complicit in all sorts of cybercrimes without even knowing it.
Actually, you don't even need to imagine such a scenario, because it's already happened.
See, Hola has a history of abusing its free users and sharing their bandwidth with the paid Luminati proxy service (also owned by Hola Networks). These users were essentially treated as a massive botnet, while Hola (the company) was selling them off to Luminati subscribers and making crazy money.
Hola got caught eventually, but not before a Luminati user took advantage and launched a botnet attack on 8chan, a popular online image board.
The worst part? Not much has changed since these events – Hola is still being used for easy botnets, DDoS attacks, and much more. And most users don't suspect a thing.
We wish this was everything, but there are many other issues we need to address.
If you want to keep things private, you don't want your VPN to collect any logs. Period.
For starters, the service logs pretty much everything related to connections and bandwidth.
IP addresses, connection timestamps, billing info – the list goes on. At this point, it's better to ask what Hola doesn't log.
Oh, and if you think this data will be safely kept and used only by Hola, you're mistaken.
Another problem for the privacy-conscious is the jurisdiction Hola is under.
While it's true Israel isn't part of the Fourteen Eyes surveillance alliance, the country has been known to cooperate with it in the past.
The Fourteen Eyes (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand) work together to share any espionage info they have with each other. With multiple other countries as their "partners," it's basically one big spy network.
In short, if the Israeli government is asked to hand over sensitive user data from Hola to the Fourteen Eyes, it will happen. And since Hola logs a whole lot of data, your privacy will take a big hit.
Does Hola VPN Have an Adblocker?
Adblocking is actually the only security feature Hola provides.
That's because you can include an adblocker in your service even if it's not a real VPN.
You won't find a kill switch, since your connection isn't encrypted in the first place. We can understand why Hola doesn't have this feature, but it doesn't make it any less troubling.
Without any measures against IP, DNS, and WebRTC leaks, this service just keeps exposing your connection left, right, and center. It failed most of our leak tests, which wasn't a huge surprise.
Hola isn't suitable for bypassing the Great Firewall of China.
Ideally, you want obfuscation settings and OpenVPN or L2TP support from your VPN for China. Hola's connections are easily blocked, so you won't have much luck with it.
Although Hola is primarily a free service, you can find good value in the paid Plus package.
That is, if you're willing to look past Hola's unethical practices.
Let's see the perks Hola Plus gives you, and go through the most important ones.
First off, the only way Hola Plus protects your privacy is by removing you from the shared peer-to-peer network.
In other words, you're paying to benefit from other users' resources without giving away your own.
Normally, privacy claims are backed up by a strict no-logging policy or strong 256-bit encryption and OpenVPN support. What we have here isn't protecting your privacy – rather, you are giving Hola money to stop invading it.
Honestly, this is ridiculous. We won't even mention how shady it is to take advantage of other users like that – it goes without saying.
Moving on, you can already browse from pretty much any country without paying. When we tested the free version, we had over 90 different locations to choose from.
The real benefit of Hola Plus is the extra unblocking power for popular streaming services like Netflix. Ironically, it didn't help us much, but we did access other streams, such as BBC iPlayer.
Worth it? Not at all. Hola Plus is in the same price range as some of the best VPNs around. But unlike Hola, providers such as NordVPN and ExpressVPN have robust security and guarantee your privacy.
Does Hola VPN Have a Free Trial?
Hola doesn't offer a free trial for its Plus package.
Sure, you can use the free version to check out the interface and run some tests, but you'll be sharing your connection with all other Hola users.
Most of the special connections for streams will be locked, too.
One of the perks of Hola Plus is the 30-day money-back guarantee.
It's available for all five plans, but getting a refund can be a lengthy, tedious process due to Hola's subpar customer support (more on that soon).
Is Hola VPN Compatible with My Device?
Hola's free version doesn't have any license requirements. You can install it separately on as many devices as you want.
The Plus package comes with 10 simultaneous connections, so you aren't limited to just your computer or phone.
Speaking of devices, Hola has more than decent platform support. In addition to the major desktop and mobile systems, it also offers browser extensions and instructions for routers, consoles, smart TVs, and more.
However, these instructions seem to be the same for all "advanced" platforms, and don't have much depth to them.
In case you skipped straight to this part, we'll be short, sweet, and likely to disappoint you.
Hola doesn't provide any encryption whatsoever.
If you were hoping for the industry standard AES-256 encryption and native OpenVPN support for secure connections, we suggest taking a look at real VPN services that actually protect you online.
Between Hola's numerous problems and risks, customer support should be the least of your worries.
That said, it's another big letdown.
Looking at the website, you'll be lucky to find the support area on your first try.
Here's a hint – it's tucked away on the bottom, probably hoping you don't click it.
Honestly, you don't even need to click anywhere, because an email is all you get. There's no live chat or dedicated ticket system, and the listed phones don't seem to be related to customer support.
Hola doesn't seem interested in answering your emails, either. We expected that from a service without any real support channels – still, disappointing to see.
There are two useful things here – the download links and the FAQ section. Everything else is just one giant ad for Hola's free version. In fact, the word "free" appears 8 times in the landing page, and an additional 23 times in the FAQ.
We get it, you have a free version.
We tried out the Windows client first. After finding out it wasn't an actual client, but just a separate browser window, we uninstalled it. Why bother with a misleading app, when we could just use a browser extension instead?
The drop-down menu was easy enough to navigate, although not very intuitive at first. You start off with a list of services to unblock instead of a countries you can connect to.
We wanted to pick a specific connection on our own, so we resolved this issue by choosing a random service. After that, we could easily see the available countries.
We were impressed with the range of countries, including some exotic locations. This is a benefit of peer-to-peer networks, but let's be real – not that helpful for most users.
We'd talk about the settings menu, if it had actual settings. All it does is send you to yet another browser window, where you can see recent sites you've visited. That's it.
The only real setting we found was the language selection. Hola is translated into over 30 different languages – we have to give credit for accessibility!
Lastly, we checked out the Help menu. We hoped it would do a better job at offering support compared to the website, but no such luck – we were simply redirected to the FAQ section.
Overall, we don't expect Hola to be a challenge for anyone – even beginners can get around with ease. Whether you should actually use this service, is another question.
Hola doesn't add extra protection – on the contrary, it takes it away.
At best, it's a hybrid VPN for accessing blocked content. At worst, it's a risky service with no security or privacy features, and a history of misconduct.
Let's put the many issues aside for a moment. Hola is fast and useful for unblocking. With a peer-to-peer connection, you can (in theory) deal better with regional blocks, especially in the United States.
But since you can't pick your connection with precision, we can hardly call Hola a reliable tool for the job. Another minus is the shaky Netflix access.
In short, you'll be much better off with a VPN that offers servers in all major cities worldwide, in addition to real protection.
For the best value on the scene, check out NordVPN – its huge server network and proprietary features are excellent for streaming and security.
We recommend ExpressVPN if you want blazing speeds, as well as strong encryption and spotless privacy.
Users on a budget should also look at Surfshark. With plenty of premium features and access to Netflix at a budget price, this VPN is both cheap and powerful.

Never mind song contests and celebrity dance offs, Kalmar resident Hassan Saraoe has won the one competition that really matters: the Swedish Pizza Championships.
When Saraoe's Exotic Ostrich Pizza was produced from the oven, the jury knew they had themselves a winner.
"It was a wow experience when I had a taste. The tastes were very unusual for a pizza," said competition manager David Khabbazi, having bitten into a pizza topped with marinated ostrich fillet, mango, chili and fresh coriander.
"The competition was very tough. But when the points were added up Hassan Saraoe won quite convincingly," said Khabbazi, who was not a member of the eight-person jury.
As well as 10,000 kronor, Hassan Saraoe also won the right to represent Sweden when the battle commences to find Europe's top pizza chef.

Gatineau je grad u kanadskoj pokrajini Québec, sjedište administrativne regije Outaouais, te četvrti grad u Québecu po broju stanovnika. Grad se nalazi nasuprot glavnog grada Kanade Ottawe, na sjevernoj obali rijeke Outaouais (Ottawa), istočno i zapadno od rijeke Gatineau. Zajedno s Ottawom čini aglomerizacijsko područje Ottawa-Gatineau (Regija nacionalne prijestolnice), što je četvrto po veličini takvo područje u Kanadi, nakon Toronta, Montréala i Vancouvera.

Povijest

Kantoni Hull, Templetoni Buckingham, kao i sela Aylmer i Buckingham osnovani su 1855., u vrijeme prve općinske podjele Québeca. Središte današnjeg grada velikim je dijelom uništeno u požaru 1900. godine. Više kuća (tzv. kuće šibica) je izgorjelo u tadašnjem Hullu uključujući i most Chaudière. Širenju vatre su dobrim dijelom pridonijele i brojne tvornice šibica koje su se tada nalazile u gradu. Naselja današnjeg Gatineaua velikim dijelom su narasla zahvaljujući rastu važnosti i stanovništva susjedne Ottawe.

Gatineau je osnovan 1939. godine, i prvobitno je zauzimao vrlo malo površinu u usporedbi s današnjim gradom. Gatineau status grada dobiva 1957., a 1975. okolni gradovi pripajaju se gradu Gatineauu, te Hull dobiva status grada. S ovim spajanjem općina 1975. Gatineau postaje najveći grad u regiji Outaouais, te četvrti po veličini grad u pokrajini nakon Montréala, Québeca i Lavala.

Dana 1. siječnja 2002., pet gradova (Aylmer, Buckingham, Gatineau, Hull i Masson-Angers) bivše Urbane zajednice Outaouais (Communauté Urbaine de l'Outaouais) spajaju se u današnji grad Gatineau. Od svih ovih gradova bivši je grad Gatineau bio najveći po površini i broju stanovnika.

Zemljopis

Grad Gatineau nalazi se zapadu pokrajine Québec, nasuprot Ottawe. Zajedno s 15-ak susjednih općina Gatineau tvori kebečku stranu Regije nacionalne prijestolnice Kanade.

Gatineau karakterizira rijeka Outaouais, koja je glavna pritoka rijeke Saint-Laurent. Ona označava južnu granicu grada. Na jugozapadu na svom proširenju tvori jezero Deschênes. Kroz grad prolazi više rijeka, kao što su Gatineau, Lièvre i Blanche. Kroz teritorij grada prolazi i desetak potoka, a potok Brasserie tvori jedna mali otok u središtu grada.

U gradu postoji više jezera, od kojih su najznačajnija Leamy, Beauchamp, Fées, Carrière i Pink. Jezero Pink je jedno od rijetkih meromiktičkih jezera u Sjevernoj Americi.

Urbana sela

Strategija razvoja grada orijentirana je prema stvaranju urbanih sela. Cilj je stvoriti od Gatineaua zajednicu urbanih sela koja bi bila povezana efikasnim sustavom prijevoza i višestrukim drugim komunikacijskim kanalima.

Šesnaest urbanih sela Gatineaua su:

Vallée-de-la-Lièvre, (Buckingham)
Bassin-de-la-Lièvre, (Masson-Angers)
Rivière-Blanche
Du Moulin
La Cité
Rivière-Gatineau
Les Rapides
Centre-Ville
Lac-des-Fées
Mont-Bleu
Hautes-Plaines
Du Parc
Le Plateau
Les Golfs
Lac-Deschênes
Des Explorateurs

Politika
Vjerojatno zbog blizine nacionalne prijestolnice, među stanovništvom Gatineaua postoji velika podrška federalnom uređenju države, što nije općenito slučaj u velikom dijelu Québeca. Na referendumu o nezavisnosti Québeca 1995., 70,71% građana Gatineaua glasovalo je protiv nezavisnosti. Grad od 1981., ima reputaciju liberalne utvrde, jer je Liberalna stranka Québeca dugo godina bila vodeća u ovom gradu.

Upravna podjela

Grad je upravno podijeljen na 18 četvrti ili okruga. Svaka od tih četvrti ima svoga predstavnika u gradskom vijeću. Četvrti grada su:

Stanovništvo

Prema popisu iz 2006., u Gatineauu živi 242.124 stanovnika. Porast stanovništva od 6,8% zabilježen je od zadnjeg popisa. Na površini od 342 km² postoji 104.607 domaćinstva. Većina stanovništva ovog novog grada živi u urbanim sredinama Aylmer, Hull te bivšeg grada Gatineaua. Buckingham i Masson-Angers su više ruralne sredine.

Jezici

Kao i u ostatku Québeca, stanovništvo Gatineaua je većinom frankofono. Francuski je materinski jezik za oko 87,6% građana ovog grada. Blizina Ottawe, a time i većinom anglofonog Ontarija utjecala je na stvaranje značajne anglofone manjine u gradu. Engleski je materinski jezik za oko 10,1% građana Gatineaua. Treći po značajnosti jezik je portugalski, a slijede ga arapski, španjolski, njemački, talijanski, kineski i drugi jezici.

Religija

Većinsko stanovništvo grada su rimokatolici, dok protestanti čini oko 5% građana Gatineaua (1,3% anglikanci, 1,3% unionisti, 0,7% baptisti, 0,3% luterani, 0,2% pentekostalci, 0,2% prezbiterijanci). Oko 1% stanovništva čine muslimani, 0,5% Jehovini svjedoci 0,3% budisti i 0,2% pravoslavci. Udio stanovništva bez religije je oko 7%.

Gospodarstvo

Kao glavni grad regije Outaouais, te zbog blizine nacionalne prijestolnice u gradu se nalaze brojni uredi federalne i pokrajinske vlasti. Zbog savezne politike o distribuciji saveznih upravnih poslova na obje strane rijeke Outaouais, u središtu Gatineaua izgrađeni su veliki neboderi za javne službenike, od kojih su najveći Place du Portage i Terrasses de la Chaudière. Neke od kanadskih agencija i ministarstava koje se nalaze u ovom gradu su Kanadska međunarodna agencija za razvoj, Javni radovi i javne službe, te Ured za prometnu sigurnost Kanade.

Turizam

Najvažnije turističke atrakcije u gradu su Kanadski muzej civilizacija koji je najposjećeniji muzej u Kanadi, te Casino du Lac Leamy. U kolovozu se u kasinu održava međunarodno natjecanje u vatrometu. U rujnu se u gradu održava festival balona na vrući zrak.

U gradu postoji mnogo zelenih površina. Na prostoru grada nalazi se Park Gatineau, koji je najposjećeniji park u Québecu.
