How to Split Bills With Friends or Groups Easily Using Settle Up App
Ashish Mundhra
I love to hang out with friends for movies and dinners, and most of the time we go Dutch just to keep things less complicated. We have been using a shared online Google Docs spreadsheet ever since to keep track of all the money flow and settlement issues.
Though using a worksheet is a lot more easy when compared to pen, paper and calculators, it still has many limitations like managing the payment ratio, easy payment options etc etc. So here's a great app for your smartphone that will help you split all your bills easily and accurately.
Settle Up is a useful Android and iOS app (we will concentrate on Android in this post) that lets you split bills among friends and roommates easily. Once you install Settle Up, fire up the application to start bill sharing. First of all, you will have to make a new group of people you share your bills with often. They can be your flat mates, office colleagues or anyone else you usually go out with.
Creating Group and Splitting a Bill
While creating a new group, you will have to provide names of everyone who would participate (including you) and the currency system you follow. If the contacts along with their email address are in your phone book, they will be added automatically. If at all the details of the contacts are not present, you will have to provide them manually. Finally give the group a name and save it.
Once the group is created successfully, everyone will get an email from Settle Up informing that they have been added to a new group, and they can view it on their iPhone and Android. Once everyone has joined the group, splitting a bill is like eating a pie.
Whenever you have a fresh bill you want to share in your group, click on the New Payment option on the app and select the individual who paid the bill. Followed by that, select all the members of the group who were parts of the bill and enter bill amount and description.
If for some reason a person is entitled to pay more than one person share in the bill (like someone called a personal guest to a Dutch Treat) you can increase the payment weight of the person. While selecting the people to split the bill, click on Uneven Split to change the ratio.
You can also take a snapshot of the bill for reference purpose. Finally, select Save payment and synchronize the bill.
Viewing Bill
When the app installed on your friend's device will have next sync, they will get a notification about the new bill added. Tap on the notification to open the Settle Up app to view the details. The payment logs section holds the logs of all the recent bills added to the group. If you think, your friends may have made an error, you can edit and correct the bill there.
You can either pay directly from the app using your PayPal account, or you can use any other method like Cash, Bank Transfer and later reflect the same on the app to settle the debt.
The app is only for reference use only and cannot be trusted for sensitive bill settlement as there is no security feature. As anyone in the group can edit a bill, it's just meant for friends or groups of people who need a quick, easy and efficient bill splitting solution.

Registration Opens for the Intelligent Community Forum's Global Summit 2018 in London
Early Discounted Registration Available for the 4-6 June 2018 Conference
(19 December 2018 – New York City & London) –The Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) announced today that registration is now open for the ICF Global Summit 2018 taking place 4-6 June in London.
In recent years, the ICF Global Summit has been held in New York City, Toronto, and Columbus, Ohio, USA. This is the first ICF Global Summit to be held in Europe.
ICF Report, "The Intelligent Community in Numbers 2017," Shows How Cities and Regions Use Technology for Economic and Social Progress
(October 23, 2017 - New York City) – The Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) today released The Intelligent Community in Numbers 2017. The new research report is a statistical portrait of the Intelligent Community, a snapshot based on data submitted to ICF by hundreds of communities of every size, on every continent and in both rural and urban settings.
The report reveals Intelligent Communities to be strong adopters of broadband, with average availability of 96% of all premises and average adoption by 80% of all premises. Such strong numbers reflect strong competition: the median speed and price for broadband averaged 68 Mbps at a cost of US$50 per month. They also put technology to work in schools: 98% use information and communications technology regularly in classrooms and 81% offer distance learning. More than 90% offer free or low-cost classes in digital skills for their offline population.
ICF Announces "Humanizing Data" Theme for 2018 Awards Program
ICF now accepting nominations for the 2018 cycle to determine the 20th Intelligent Community of the Year
(July 6, 2017 - New York City) – The Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) today announced "Humanizing Data" as the theme for the 2018 cycle of its prestigious Intelligent Community Awards Program, which closes nominations on September 13, 2017.
"A city that is evolving from "Smart" to "Intelligent" is also one that is devising policies which encourage a depth of humanity and personal choices which anchor civilization, and also unleash the most robust use of resources and capital," said ICF co-founder Lou Zacharilla. "Data is now a fundamental tool toward this goal, which touches the life of every citizen. Some communities have made it a priority to 'humanize data' and to watch as citizens improve their lives as a result. We will be looking at this issue as part of our 2018 Awards program, and evaluating who is doing this well."
The Intelligent Community Forum Names Melbourne, Victoria, Australia the 2017 Intelligent Community of the Year
(June 8, 2017 – New York City) – The Intelligent Community Forum (ICF) today named Melbourne, Victoria, Australia the 2017 Intelligent Community of the Year at a dinner ceremony in the prestigious Landmark on the Park venue in Manhattan. The awards ceremony was the conclusion of the Intelligent Community Forum's annual Summit.
"Melbourne is famously 'the world's most livable city,' but the question was 'Are they an Intelligent Community?'" said ICF co-founder Lou Zacharilla. "They answered that question this year. They are redefining the concept of technology, work, and the workspace. They have created a city that functions like an artist's canvas. They have built an entire system where creativity flourishes, education is harnessed to the workforce, and quality of life has become the city's greatest competitive advantage. It is a dynamic combination and one the Intelligent Community Forum honors."
Melbourne was selected as the 2017 Intelligent Community of the Year after a year-long evaluation that included a quantitative analysis of extensive data, site inspections by the Intelligent Community Forum, and votes from an international jury made up of experts from around the world. Communities in the Awards program are evaluated based on six Intelligent Community Indicators, along with a seventh criteria, ICF's annual theme, The Internet of Cities.
Intelligent Community Forum Declares Broadband to be a Utility Essential to Growth and Quality of Life
Issues resolution for consideration by city and county councils around the world
New York City, June 6, 2017 – The Board of the Intelligent Community Forum approved a resolution today calling on cities and counties to declare high-speed, high-capacity, affordable broadband a utility: an essential infrastructure service provided principally for public benefit, which enables economic growth and greater quality of life when it achieves ubiquitous coverage. ICF encourages city and county Councils to download a copy of the resolution at www.intelligentcommunity.org/broadband_utility_resolution and submit it for consideration and formal approval.

Are We Birkin Up The Wrong Tree?
The iconic Hermes Birkin handbag is said to be a worthy investment, outperforming gold and the S&P 500 in investment returns and stability. CSI Prop investigates how this bag holds up against brick and mortar.
So the Birkin smashed the almighty Box Office of Buzzwords a few days ago when a raid at one of former Malaysian PM Najib Razak's residences uncovered the haul of the century: 284 boxes of luxury handbags, a good number of which were in the signature Hermes orange hue.
The former PM's missus, as the entire world probably knows by now, is a huge fan of the Birkin. Word on the street is that a rare, record-setting Hermes Birkin could be among the 284 handbags seized during the raid. The purse, which has white gold and diamond hardware, fetched an eye-watering $221,755 at an auction in Hong Kong in 2015 — the most expensive bag sold at auction at the time.
One wonders if Datin Sri Rosmah's collection could give Victoria Beckham a run for her Birkins (note: Mrs B apparently has 100 Birkin handbags). Especially since a New York Times article reportedly quoted a broker's estimation of Datin Sri Rosmah's Hermes Birkin collection to be worth at least US$10 million.
Whatever the rumour, it looks like the cat's finally out of the handbag…err, bag.
So, what has a handbag got to do with property, you might ask. Here's our cheeky comparison between bag and brick — after all, both are investments in their own right and share many similarities. Or do they? You decide.
It takes Hermes artisans a minimum of 5 years training before they're allowed to independently create a Birkin. The artisan makes a Birkin by hand from start to end, a process which takes possibly up to 48 hours.
A house, however, takes a good many months or years to complete, requiring the skill of experts from various fields in order for it to withstand way more than a huff, a puff and a blowing down by the Big Bad Wolf.
Birkins are expensive because they are scarce, with only 200,000 bags in circulation around the world. One cannot simply buy a Birkin without a purchase history at the store or knowing someone who has bought a Birkin, before getting on the wait list.
Property prices are also governed by the rule of demand vs supply. The UK is experiencing a critical undersupply of homes, and the government is facing challenges in achieving its goal of building 300,000 homes a year to even out the demand-supply balance. This continues to push property prices upward, making it increasingly difficult for first-time house buyers to get on to the property ladder. Oh, and for the record, you can't own a property just like that either — you need to clear checks by the regulators first. Think AML, bank loan approvals, that sort of thing.
The price of the humblest Birkin starts at around $12,000. It could go all the way up to more than $200,000. That's the price of a house in some parts of Petaling Jaya, according to a report in The Star.
Property is expensive, too; the greater the undersupply, the higher the price. Take Melbourne property as an example. AUD$500,000 could likely get you a landed property, but we're talking some 16km away from the city centre. For AUD$550,000 you may get a 2-bedroom apartment in the stylish Palladium Tower apartments in Melbourne CBD, but apartments in this part of the city, at this price, is becoming a rare find (call us if you're interested; we can hook you up).
According to research by Baghunter, the price of the Birkin had risen by an average of 14.2% since its launch, outperforming traditional investments such as the S&P 500 and gold markets. A Himalaya Birkin handbag made from the albino Nilo crocodile hide with white gold and diamond hardware and auctioned in 2014, was reported to cost as much as a 2-bed/2-bath apartment in the heart of Brisbane!
Interestingly, Savills predicts that property in the UK will grow by 14.2% over the next five years in spite of Brexit-related uncertainty. One might argue that this was a drop from the 28% price growth between 2013 and 2018 but, hey, that was during the good times. Like, pre-Referendum. We remain confident that the UK will recover after a spell of uncertainty following Brexit in 2019.
In Australia, meanwhile, the average price of a property in Melbourne had increased by more than 6-fold from A$142,000 to A$943,100 today!
And we haven't even talked about rental yields yet! Investment in the UK commercial property sector such as purpose built student accommodation and commercial care homes, can fetch handsome yields of up to 9%!
Of course, all said and done, one can debate that you could bring a Birkin anywhere and show it off to anyone, while a property is most 'inconveniently' tied to the location in which it is built.
OK, that's true but, hey, you can't live in a handbag, can you?
Birkin worshippers will probably have more compelling reasons why the Birkin makes a fantastic investment, and naysayers would have equally compelling arguments for rebuttal. Perhaps we could all put ourselves in the shoes (or sandals) of the current Prime Minister and think on how to have a bata (better) management of our finances. What are your thoughts? Share with us in the comment box below. Or if you think your money is better spent on property investment, give us a call at 03-2162 2260! Don't be birkin up the wrong tree now!

China Trade Conflict – A New Normal
The Chinese government has deployed strategies that help its state owned companies acquire state-of-the-art technologies in order to break into global markets. By leveraging the country's low labor cost China exports more than $2 Trillion of goods a year (in 2018 the U.S. imported over $419 billion more goods from China than it exported to China). The Chinese government 'tolerates' foreign organizations only if they bring value to the country. Local goals and culture will always act to circumscribe the freedom of foreign operations. It's a 'CHINA FIRST' mentality. In the past, State owned enterprises, such as aerospace and defense conglomerates Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, Ltd. (COMAC), and rail rolling stock manufacturer CRRC were unable to compete technologically in Western markets. Multinationals who wanted access to the Chinese market were forced to form joint ventures with China's state owned 'national champions' and transfer the latest technology in exchange for current and possible future business opportunities. It's remarkable how aggressively China applied these policies, how many of its agencies are involved, how quickly and radically it changes the rules, how many unique technology and product standards it tries to impose, and how subtly its regulations violate the spirit, if not the letter of Western multilateral cooperation and agreements. Companies that resist are simply excluded. China's goal is clear. To induce foreign organizations to transfer technologies that state-owned enterprises need to catch up with the West.
The result? China and the U.S. are structurally prone to economic conflict. Because of China's history, economic and political system and Government policies, the country differs radically from the U.S. in its beliefs, expectations, and objectives. China regards the management of trade and investment flows as a legitimate path to global leadership. The U.S. believes otherwise. Attempts to connect these two very different systems have exposed and reinforced imbalances rather than brought equilibrium. Access to U.S. markets and technology has built the Chinese economy. Until now China has cajoled, co-opted, coerced, and taken Western technology with the intent of enabling it to supplant the U.S. as the world's most advanced economy.
Together the U.S. and Chinese economies account for 40% of global GDP. The goal of tariffs (on both sides) is to apply pressure to exporters who will turn this 'economic' pressure into 'political' pressure. Tariffs are a short term approach that will cause traffic flows to change and prices to reset in the U.S., China and elsewhere. Long term a centrally planned economy has an invisible cost – government inefficiency. Without the profit motive there is no incentive to carve out niches, to differentiate products, to search for continual improvement in the production process, or to dream up new ideas. In the short run China's approach has worked to advance its interests. But now conflicting national interests are working to overwhelm the benefits of cooperation. In the current environment of growing strategic competition, it would be useful to recognize we cannot expect an economically compatible relationship with China. Clarifying and understanding China's strategy will brighten the lines we simply should not allow China to continue to cross.
Similarly, investment management demands a clear understanding of goals and objectives. In Air and Rail, play the long game. Call RESIDCO.

Join the race to #SaveTheCheetah
Before becoming Executive Director of Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) in 1990, Dr. Laurie Marker began her career working with cheetahs at Wildlife Safari, a wildlife park in the United States. She first traveled to South West Africa (now Namibia) while conducting research into the rewilding of captive-born cheetahs.
Dr. Marker's research proved that cheetahs held in captivity could be taught to hunt but, more importantly, it was during this time she discovered livestock farmers were killing wild cheetah by the hundreds. Without intervention, the future of the species would be in jeopardy. For this reason, Dr. Marker decided to found CCF and move to Namibia.
We always think there is someone else who will do something, that 'they' will take care of it. I realized early in my work that there is no 'they,' and so I decided I would to take action to save the cheetah from extinction."
Dr. Laurie Marker Founder and Executive Director, CCF
Laura Lee Bushey (Dr. Laurie Marker) was born in Detroit, Michigan and lived in Birmingham, a suburb of Detroit. Her father, Ralph, came from a farming family and was an agricultural economist and accountant. Her mother, Marline, was an elementary and high school teacher and kept the family active in the community with nonprofit work.
Dr. Marker's family moved to Southern California when she was four years-old. She spent her childhood surrounded by animals, learning how to care for horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, donkeys and goats.
Dr. Marker's family resettled in Northern California in time for her to finish high school at age 16. She started college early, studying agriculture, enology and viticulture in Napa, California. Dr. Marker moved north to become a pioneer of the Oregon wine industry. She started a winery and a small dairy goat farm, and to support her businesses, she began working at Wildlife Safari in 1974. Her main interest from the start was the cheetah, a species little was known about and not well understood. During her 16 years at Wildlife Safari, Dr. Marker helped develop the U.S. and international captive breeding program for cheetahs (cheetah studbooks) and established the most successful captive cheetah-breeding program in North America.

In 1977 during her first trip to South West Africa (Namibia), Laurie found that livestock farmers were catching hundreds of cheetahs in cage traps and killing them. Later, research and tracking showed that during the 1980's, farmers had killed more than 7,000 cheetahs, cutting the country's cheetah population in half.
In the 1980's, Dr. Marker began collaborating with researchers from the Smithsonian Institution and the National Cancer Institute on groundbreaking research. They discovered the lack of genetic diversity in the species, including very poor sperm quality and disease suitability, both of which are contributing factors to the difficulties of captive breeding.
Dr. Marker and Khayam
Khayam was born on December 4, 1976 at Wildlife Safari. Laurie raised Khayam from a newborn cub, and together they traveled to South West Africa (now Namibia) in 1977. When the pair returned to the U.S. several months later following their successful research project, they traveled regionally and nationally making public appearances to generate awareness for the cheetah's plight. Khayam served as the first ambassador animal for her species.
Khayam's Legacy
Dr. Marker says that Khayam "showed her the vision and gave her the path" to help save her wild brethren. International Cheetah Day is now celebrated every year on December 4th to honor Khayam.
Cheetah Conservation Fund
Once she determined to create a cheetah research center, Dr. Marker investigated many locations across the cheetah's range in Africa. After Namibia gained its independence in 1990, Dr. Marker decided to make this newly-formed country the base for her frontline conservation organization focused on saving the cheetah.
Dr. Marker left her job at the Smithsonian Institution's New Opportunities and Animal Health Sciences (NOAHS) Center and moved to Namibia. She set up CCF in a simple farmhouse and bought an old Land Rover with funds she raised from the sale of her possessions.
CCF Today
CCF has developed into a world class research, education and conservation centre set on a private wildlife reserve. CCF's open-to-the-public facilities include a Model Farm, the Dancing Goat Creamery, Cheetah Museum, The Life Technologies Conservation Genetics Laboratory, and The Haas Family Veterinary Clinic.

We started watching 30 Rock to complete our rewatch of the murderers row of that late 00's NBC comedy lineup with The Office, Parks and Rec, Community and 30 Rock. 30 Rock is the only one I never really watched and so far it's OK, I'm assuming it'll be better as it goes like the way Parks and Rec progressed. It's hard to follow Community which after that rewatch is now somewhere in my all time show list and definitely at the top of the sitcoms.
Travis said:
@Garthgou81 I need to rewatch season 1 and do fear a little recency bias, but I think I liked season 2 even more. I did get SUPER into season 1, but man it gets pretty batshit in a really good way. I don't think you'll be disappointed. We finished it up a couple of days ago and were both super psyched with how it all went, and also super bummed to be done.
Have they said anything about a Season 3? And maybe you can't say anything more without ruining the end the season, because I adored how Season 1 ended and how they left things.
If any Bald Movers are looking for a quick watch with all kinds of twists and turns and a pitch-black sense of humor, give Dead to Me a shot. Granted I am also a sucker for Linda Cardellini, so take that for what it is worth.
Anyone else going to jump in to The Great on Hulu? Made by the people that made The Favourite.
Yes! I've been waiting for this to hit! It looks pretty good.
I'm in love with Devs. Was skeptical on the first two episodes. It was interesting, but very mellow and deliberate. I became intrigued with Ep 3 and 4 and would like to know more about the potential of what they are working on. On ep 6 now, and am totally captivated. I want to know more about the macro implications, but I feel like they are going to keep the story focused on the personal impact to the principal characters.
Glad you wrote this. I don't want to delve into the actual show topics because I'm where you are in the show. Love the concepts and such.
Do have arkcrawf said:
concern about the acting though. Sonoya Mizuno seems pretty stilted and wooden at various times throughout the show so far, and I feel like Alison Pill would have been a better choice of actor for Lily.
jluzania Denver
7 episodes into Succession, which ended up being more addictive than I thought it would be. Turns out a darker, less likable version of Arrested Development appeals to me. Is this what shows like Dirty Sexy Money were like?
Underwood Philadelphia, PA
@jluzania My roommate and I binged Succession like two months ago. It kept getting better and better. By season two I honestly would classify it more of a comedy than a drama, it was hilarious. Roman has some of the best one liners ever!
Is Bald Move up for a rousing game of Boar on the Floor? I know I am.
With the recent death of Lynn Shelton, I'm gonna binge Glow.
GredalBee
I'm late to the party, but Daredevil was a hell of a show and I'm bummed it was canceled. I guess I'll poke around The Defenders to complete Matt Murdock's story, but I'm going to miss those characters.
Well, Succession was fun. Looking forward to season 3!
Just saw that Escape at Dannemora is available on Prime, so jumping into that.
Guys, I know that the Quarantine/Zoom episodes are all the rage these days. But Mythic Quest absolutely knocked it out of the park. Just saying, give that show a shot. It a typical sitcom when it wants to be, but also knows how to pull out the big guns. I was a wreck last night.
Binging tha fukk out of The Last Dance right now. Had left it at episode 2 but picked it up this weekend and motoring through it. Added little pleasant random surprise is that my wife is way into it. I feel hours of 2K coming when this is over...
Finished. Consensus with my wife was Last Dance is the greatest Rockets documentary ever.
Noel Dallas, TX
The end of episode 7 is some of the best documentary work I've ever seen. Just to see a mythical figure like Jordan look so human for once was incredible.
Yes. I had to get my Rockets shot in but when they showed MJ crying like that...I don't know how that doesn't get anyone verklempt. I knew it was coming too cause of people on Twitter. We've all seen the footage but that was the first time I think we heard the audio. That poor man was devastated by the loss of his father. His parents were so good and loving.
CapeGabe
Enjoyed binging the latest season of the TV version of the great Bernard Cornwell series. Good adaption of the material. I always wonder why they change the things they change in adaptations. OK with most of them in this series.
The one little change that drives me mad is changing Uhtred's mantra Wyrd bið ful āræd (Fate is inexorable) to the ridiculous Destiny is all! I guess for the sole reason of keeping people from picking up a dictionary.
If you are interesting in the series the audiobooks are pretty good. Not one consistent narrator but one guy does most of them.
So after binging all of Run season 1 and the first 2 seasons of GLOW, one thing seems clear. Harry Crane is a professional cuck.
Nurse Jackie - I watched and enjoyed it back when it was on TV but haven't seen it since, my daughter had never seen it. We are about halfway through S4 and it's so good. I love how Jackie is just allowed to be so shady and awful as a lead character - so rare for a female lead - but you still love her because it's Edie Falco, and who doesn't love Edie Falco.
This show also made Merritt Wever my favourite actress, and no regrets. She is just delightful.
Almost done "The Great" its pretty good. The tone is all over the place, but its entertaining. Huzzah!
I'm about 7 episodes away from being caught up on The Handmaids Tale and damn I'm glad I'm in a decent headspace because this shit is utterly horrifying and depressing. I don't know how Elizabeth Moss can keep doing roles like these and stay sane.
Finished Escape at Dannemora and jumped into Russian Doll. Only 25 minute episodes! All right! Should be an easy watch.
Finished ZeroZeroZero, thought it was amazing. Some GREAT acting performances and cinematography. Had a cool storytelling element in quite a few episodes where time chronology is switched around.
What did you think of Run? I was disappointed by the finale but I thought most everything was very well done.
I pretty much hate watched the second half. I thought the characters were completely unlikeable. At the end, I thought they deserved each other. I couldn't decide which was worse the video Billy made or Ruby reading someone else's private email without permission.
My husband and I are re-watching VEEP. I've heard that it is the most accurate tv depiction of politics, which is.....so sad but pretty believable.
I finished Doom Patrol on HBO MAX. I enjoyed it. Strange how one show can be silly and humorous but also so dark. Season 2 coming in June.

Not necessarily a spoiler and you probably know this by now but The Defenders takes place between seasons 2 & 3 of Daredevil.
My wife and I just finished Ozark. Great show and I can definitely understand its comparison to Breaking Bad. Right now I'm binging Bosch. Great old school detective procedural and I've been thoroughly enjoying it. Just started season 5 and it's interesting the amount of Walking Dead alum is in this season. Granted, Madison Lintz has been on it from the start But this season also has Jeff Kober (Joe of the Claimers) and Ryan Hurst (Beta). I'm sure if I dug deep enough there are others.
But in any event, I recommend Bosch. Good stuff.

I used dozens of docks on Linux and Windows, and as you know there are really good docks like AWN, Gnome-Do with docky interface, cairo dock, kiba-dock and so on linux.Today i tried DockbarX and fall in love . It is like Windows 7's taskbar except windows' previews, and you can use it with AWN (i did not try this but i will write the installation guide).Since i am using one gnome panel, it is better for me to delete all the docks i have and add it to my top panel (I am using 12″ notebook with Ubuntu Karmic Koala so i gain more visual space with this task bar ).You can read the features and changelog from here.You can use experimental or stable build, you can install it from Scott Barnes's Launchpad repository, or you can compile latest branch.Since it is actively developed, the package at Launchpad repository is a little old and at this howto we will compile(we won't even compile, just a couple of cp commands ) it from branch.
After this, right click to a gnome panel, and select "Add to Panel".Then select Dockbar Applet and click "Add".You can move it to anywhere you want and you can find its preferences menu via right clicking the applet.
1. Do a normal install (no need to add dockbarx to panel if you don't want to, of course).
4. Set 'Icon offset' parameter to 0!

Earthquakes generate four principal types of elastic waves; two, known as body waves, travel within the Earth, whereas the other two, called surface waves, travel along its surface.
A seismic wave is a mechanical disturbance or energy packet that can propagate from point to point in the Earth. Seismic waves can be generated by a sudden release of energy such as an earthquake, volcanic eruption, or chemical explosion. There are several types of seismic waves, often classified as body waves, which propagate through the volume of the Earth, and surface waves, which travel Author: Xianyun Wu, Ru-Shan Wu.

THE HOTELIER
2A Dartmouth Park Hill, London NW5 1HL
When The Hotelier's released second album Home, Like Noplace Is There, an outstanding, destructive record filled with emotion and charm, it fired them into the emo limelight.
Pitchfork called it "Hotelier tearing the building down" and we can't argue with that description. Scathing riffs collided with pulse raising drums and piercing vocals that we've come to expect from the punk quartet.
Returning last year with Goodness, the band took their now-signature sound to even greater heights, and they return to the UK for a show at The Dome in January. It's gonna be big.
This is a 14+ event. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.

Every year, thousands of tourists come to the United States from all around the world. Whether you're an American exploring the countryside, or an international tourist trying to have at least a glimpse of the country's most famous sites, certainly there's a lot to see across all the 50 states.
Popular tourist sites are sprawled all across the country, but there are always favorites. To prepare for your trip, we've rounded up the 10 most iconic landmarks in the USA.
Mount Rushmore is one of the most recognized sculptures in America located in South Dakota. The large busts of four of the nation's most important presidents form the national monument sculpted into the side of Mount Rushmore. Each of the selected faces for the monument represents figures that have had significant impact in the development of the USA. The actual sculpture is a great photo opportunity while the overall national park provides all of the background information and stories on the sculpture. It was created to serve as a symbol of freedom and preservation of the country.
The Grand Canyon is famous around the world as more than just an iconic US landmark but also a natural wonder of the world. The Grand Canyon is a national park in Arizona that showcases the Grand Canyon. One of the most impressive features of this site is its scale. This large gorge was carved out naturally by the Colorado River over many centuries resulting in what we can admire today. In addition to marveling at the site, there are also several hiking trails through the canyon as well as scenic flights going over it.
You don't have to be American to know that the White House is home to the President of the United States. This popular residence is one of the most iconic landmarks in the US located in the nation's capital, Washington, DC. The White House is surrounded by many other tourist sites and government buildings that all create the perfect backdrop to seeing the White House from the front or back view. Tours are available to take a walk through the house but tickets require advance planning. If you arrive at the White House at the right time, you may even catch a glimpse of the President.
New York City is often considered the greatest city in the world. It is home to the famous Statue of Liberty – a gift from France but has since become an icon of the United States. This statue was one of the first sights seen of the new land by immigrants planning to create a new life here. Ellis Island was the point of entry for all passengers and is the current standing location of the statue. Boat trips from the mainland give great photo opportunities of the Statue. Ellis Island has a lot of resources available for learning about the use of the island and the history of Lady Liberty.
If you want to see a bit of the cultural past of the USA then you should consider visiting the French Quarter in New Orleans. The French Quarter is an area that designates one of the oldest sections of the city. It was predominantly French-influenced hence the name. This can be seen in a lot of the architecture and organization of the quarter. Now the French Quarter is a hot spot for tourists. The historic buildings that line the streets are where you will discover amazing dining, nightlife, and other entertainment.
The Golden Gate Bridge is a major attraction of San Francisco. This bridge is a symbol of one of the greatest architectural projects completed in the United States. The Golden Gate Bridge straddles the Pacific Ocean and is a major route for many commuters. As important as the bridge is to transportation, the simple beauty of it is its claim to fame. It's known as one of the most photographed bridges in the world. When it was first completed in 1937, it even held records for its scale.
You usually can expect a nice sign welcoming you to the new state every time you drive across a state border into the next. The city of St. Louis in Missouri does their welcome much different. Passing through St. Louis considered the point of crossing over the west side of the country and the Gateway Arch is the official welcome sign. The Gateway Arch is the world's tallest arch as it towers over the city. This is a fun place to visit as it is open for visitors to enter. Inside the arch serves as a museum about the landmark and its history before taking an elevator ride up to the top center for a great city view.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was one of the early cities established in the United States. It was the original capital of the country so it held a lot of importance in the early years. Much of these original buildings are still standing and can be explored even today. Independence Hall is the most iconic of them all. This was the site where the official Declaration of Independence and US Constitution were developed. The entire Congress gathered here to discuss two of the most important documents to the nation's history. You can walk the steps of history as Independence Hall is open to being explored.
If you're a fan of nature, then you will absolutely enjoy Yellowstone National Park. It is the world's first national park stretching across three states: Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. It was designated as a national park to protect the area, its wildlife, and has since become a major attraction for tourists. There are several natural features of the park to see. The most known here is called Old Faithful, a hot spring geyser. Yellowstone is also the place where you could see the largest active volcano in North America.
