There's no question that the City of Vancouver is globally recognized as a desirable city to live in. In fact, an Ipsos global poll in July 2017, Vancouver was named the third best liveable city in the world, tied with Abu Dhabi. However, this budding metropolitan city nestled in between forest, mountains, and sea is not without drawbacks – Business Insider ranked the City of Vancouver as the 19th most expensive place in the world to rent in 2017. In April 2017, the benchmark price was $1,474,400 in Vancouver east and $3,495,800 in Vancouver west for a single detached house, according to the MLS Home Price Index. For apartments, the benchmark price was $480,300 in Vancouver east and $718,400 in Vancouver west.
Vancouver's public transit is one of the world's best, offering a metropolitan rail system ("SkyTrain"), frequent busses, ferry service (SeaBus) and a commuter railway (West Coast Express). As of 2016, Vancouver's SkyTrain is the longest rapid transit system in Canada, and the longest fully automated driverless system in the world. Thanks to Vancouver's mild climate and with the (controversial) recent implementation of permanent bike lanes, biking as a mode of commuter transportation is viable through all seasons. Despite being a metropolitan city, travelling by car is less of a headache than you may expect – The traffic data firm INRIX finds Vancouver to be the 5th most congested Canadian city in 2016, and only the 38th most congested in North America.
From the lush Stanley Park and the sprawling VanDusen Gardens, to family-friendly activities such as the marine rescue centre Vancouver Aquarium, Playland, and research-driven Science World, or appreciating the history of the land at the Museum of Anthropology, exploring Vancouver is a delight. Exercising on the Vancouver seawall in a popular pastime, offering stunning views, with bike or rollerblade rentals available. Vancouver has also been called the "Hollywood North", due to the influx of shows and films, most notably The X Files, Supernatural, Once Upon a Time, the 100, Riverdale and blockbuster movies Twilight series and 50 Shades of Grey.
Vancouver is also recognized as home to some of Western Canada's most prestigious private schools, including St. George's, Vancouver College, West Point Grey Academy, and York House School. Furthermore, British Columbia boasts 17 universities (12 public and 5 private), the oldest of which, the University of British Columbia, which ranks consistently ranks among the top three research universities nationwide by Maclean's and U.S. News and World Report. In 2015, the Times Higher Education ranked UBC among the 20 best public universities worldwide.
For those who have the means, Vancouver is a top choice to work, live, raise families, vacation, or even invest. However, for the more budget conscious, or perhaps those who don't need to be in the "middle of all the action" there are also many other neighbourhoods in proximity that offer a more reasonable price per square foot of space. Please feel free to use the top menu bar to browse other unique municipalities in Greater Vancouver we have analyzed.

Valencia - Getafe 25.09.2019 Free soccer tips
Playing for a coaching match against Barcelona is certainly not the easiest task. The 2-5 defeat of Albert Celades in the first competitive game as Valencia coach was therefore to cope. Already in the second game under the new coach, the bats caused a big surprise in the Champions League. 1-0 beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
The positive momentum of Valencia has disappeared quickly. Last weekend, after a disappointing appearance, there was only one point in the home game against Leganes. In the English week continues the plenary schedule of Valencia and home is already on the next home game.
With Getafe, the bats will not receive a simple opponent. The visitors have so far lost only the away game against Atletico Madrid this season and have last remained unbeaten five competitive games in series. If Valencia prevails against Getafe at home, the highest odds of 1.95 will be paid for a tip on the bats.
Valencia - Statistics & Current Form
Marcelino left Valencia a few weeks ago. The successful coach of the bats had booked with the Copa del Rey last season the eighth cup title in club history. As fourth in the table, there was also the lucrative Champions League start right, with which the bats started this season directly in the group stage of the premier class.
The change of coach a short time after the start of the season raises some questions. According to media reports, a dispute between club owner Peter Lim and Marcelino should have preceded the change of coach. There was a 2: 5 package from FC Barcelona for the new coach Albert Celades. At least in the first group match of the premier class, there was something to celebrate for Celades.
The bats scored important points in the group stage of the Champions League with a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge. The short-term optimism but already lost on the last day of the LaLiga. With the 1-1 draw against Leganes Valencia left important points at home.
Only a single league game could win the bats so far. Joining Valencia in their home form last season, a home win on Wednesday night is very realistic. In the last LaLiga season, Valencia have lost only two of the 19 home games, also behind Atletico Madrid, the second strongest defense at home.
The cadre of bats can be seen despite the departures in the summer quite well. Big names in the squad do not have to guarantee the success, as we were proved this past weekend. Valencia, with a market value of nearly 500 million euros, has only played a draw against Leganes, who just have a squad market value of just under 100 million euros.
In the home game against Getafe, especially the offensive of the bats will be in demand. If Valencia comes up against Getafe's defensive bulwark, there are some predictions for the home side.
Expected formation of Valencia:
Cilless - Gaya, Gabriel, Garay, Wass - Guedes, Parejo, Kondogbia, Coquelin - Gomez, Rodrigo
Last matches of Valencia:
22.09.2019 - Valencia vs. Spain CD Leganés 1: 1 (La Liga)
17.09.2019 - Chelsea Vs. Valencia 0: 1 (Champions League)
14.09.2019 - FC Barcelona vs. Valencia 5: 2 (La Liga)
01.09.2019 - Valencia vs. Mallorca 2: 0 (La Liga)
24.08.2019 - Celta Vigo vs. Celta Vigo. Valencia 1: 0 (La Liga)
Getafe - Statistics & Current Form
Getafe has gambled away the direct starting place for the premier class last season. With the starting place for the Europa League there was at least a small consolation for the team of successful coach Pepe Bordalas. Getafe had the success mainly due to the strong defensive.
With his tactical focus, Bordalas was even able to beat the heavyweights of the LaLiga and ultimately was rewarded with an international start right. With just 35 goals, Getafe set the league's second-strongest defense on par with Valencia. The Bordalas team started the new season with a promising performance against Atletico Madrid.
With a close 0: 1 Getafe had to give in the end but beaten. Surprisingly, there has been at least one goal in every league match. Last weekend, there were even two rings in Getafe's box. So far, Getafe could hold only zero against Trabzonspor in the Europa League in the new competitive season.
Surprisingly, the performance of the defensive is always. In the summer, the team structure could be kept largely stable. Serious departures had not to complain to Getafe. If the recent vulnerability of the defensive also continues in the away game against Valencia, a point win in home strong Valencia will be difficult to realize.
Expected deployment of Getafe:
Soria - Nyom, Cabrera, Djene, Suarez - Cucurella, Maksimovic, Arambarri, Jason - Molina, Mata
Last games from Getafe:
22.09.2019 - Getafe Vs. Mallorca 4: 2 (La Liga)
19.09.2019 - Getafe Vs. Trabzonspor 1: 0 (Europa League)
15.09.2019 - Betis Sevilla vs. Getafe 1: 1 (La Liga)
31.08.2019 - Getafe Vs. Alaves 1: 1 (La Liga)
24.08.2019 - Getafe Vs. Athletic Bilbao 1: 1 (La Liga)
Valencia vs. Getafe Direct Comparison & Statistics Highlights
Valencia and Getafe meet for the 34th time. The bats from Valencia could hold the upper hand in direct comparison and lead the balance with 17-6-10. On average, fell 2.88 goals in the duels between the two clubs. Valencia and Getafe met four times last season.
For the Cup Winners from Valencia, there was in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey a 3-1 home win after 0-1 defeat from the first leg and thus the ticket for the semi-finals. Valencia beat Getafe 1-0 in the league. The second round match in Valencia ended with a goalless draw. At home, Valencia lost only two of their last 13 home games against Getafe.
Valencia against Getafe Tipp & Prognosis - 25.09.2019
Celades will have presented his first home game as Valencia coach otherwise. The bats had already earned the early lead in the first round with the 1-0 from Parejo, but conceded after 15 minutes the goal to make it 1-1 final score. The Valencia offensive was extremely difficult against the low-lying opponents from Leganes.
During the week, the next defensive opponent comes to Valencia. Getafe's defensive bastion was one of the strongest in the league last season, but has lost most of his time this season. In each LaLiga game there was at least one goal for the otherwise strong defense.
Key facts - Valencia vs. Getafe tip
Getafe has conceded at least one goal in each league match.
Valencia lost only two home games last season.
The new Valencia coach Celades has scored only one point in his first two league games.
After the departure of Marcelino especially club president Lim gets the displeasure of the fans. The new coach of the bats, on the other hand, has to struggle with the pressure to succeed. We expect a small rebound of the bats and at Valencia against Getafe would place our bet on good odds on a home win. For this we choose a bet of six units.
In the sixth round of La Liga, the Spanish European Cup participants Valencia and Getafe compete against each other. Betobzor expert Irina Pecherkina will analyze this meeting for you.
A 2-0 win over Mallorca, a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad and a 1-1 draw with Leganes, as well as a 1-0 defeat by Celta and a 2-5 defeat by Barcelona - the start in the new season for a stable participant in the Champions League of Valencia can hardly be described as successful. Now she occupies only the twelfth place with five points in her fortune, supplemented by a 6: 8 goal statistics.
Getafe is in eleventh place with six points and a goal difference of 7: 6. On the eve of Asulones they succeeded in an atypical spectacular style a 4-2 against Mallorca. Previously, they drew 1-1 with Betis, Alaves and Athletic and a predictable 1-0 loss to Atlético.
As the class of owners is a bit higher, they are the little favorites of this confrontation. On the other hand, I believe that the pragmatic Getafe does everything in his power to dry the game. This orientation is more than real because Valencia is now in crisis.
Total less than 2.5 for 1.63
We offer a prediction for the game of the Spanish championship in which on 25 September "Valencia" takes "Getafe". What can one expect from this duel? - The answer lies in our material.
"Valencia" had a successful season in La Liga, and a victory in the King's Cup final against Barcelona (2-1) became the "cherry on the cake", but after a break and stormy celebrations, the "bats" her Do not find game.
After five rounds of matches, the hosts have only one win and in the last round the Oranges lost points in the home game against Leganes, although they have already won from the 21st minute after Parejo had conceded a penalty. Throughout the match, the Valencians scored only four shots on goal by an outsider and the game ended in a draw (1-1).
In today's game, the team Piccini and Soler will not help.
"Getafe" delighted its fans last season - fifth place in the La Liga is a great success.
After losing to compatriots from Atletico in the opening game of the season, the "city" gave a miniseries with three draws and the same result of 1: 1 in the last game, the fans of the extravagance of goals in the match against Mallorca (4: 2) excited. what we gave the right prognosis. The islanders began their escape by themselves - Baba sent the ball into his own goal, then Molina scored from the penalty spot and completed the escape of Nyom and Angel.
Satisfied fans of the "Spanish Chelsea" and in the first match of the Europa League, where he defeated the "Trabzonspor" (1-0). In today's game, the team can not participate in the games Antunes, Didier and Manoilovich.
Valencia won 6 out of 10 personal games
Getafe has lost just 1 of his last 10 games
"Valencia" scored in 9 of the last 10 winners
The last personal meeting ended in a draw (0: 0)
Every second match of today's competitors ends with a distance or a penalty, and the number of cards is not required. Today we wait for a fight on every meter of the football field and a lot of fight. We offer to play a combined bet on the host's success, and the second bet we offer to play a removal bet in the game.
Our forecast - "Valencia" will not lose + total is more (1.5) and bet on it with a coefficient of 1.75
The second removal rate + penalty for 8.00

Jewish World Review August 2, 2007 / 18 Menachem-Av, 5767
GROW UP, MIDDLE EAST!
By Victor Davis Hanson
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | Radical Islamists love to scream about the "decadent" West. Everything from our operas to our attitudes about women outrage these loud pious critics.
As part of their condemnation, fundamentalist Muslims say they put a higher premium on family values and reverence for the past than crass modern Americans and Europeans do. But that is hardly true.
In Wahhabist Saudi Arabia, unforgiving sharia law administered by stern state clerics dictates the cutting off a hand for theft.
Is there less stealing then? Not at the highest levels at least. Sheiks from the ruling House of Saud are notorious for gambling and squandering abroad their nation's collective petro-wealth. But few such royals walk around Riyadh with missing limbs from "judicial amputation."
Recently on a British Airways flight to London, members of Qatar's royal house were outraged that its princesses had been seated next to male passengers who weren't related to them. Was this a clash of civilizations?
Not quite. The entire entourage was, in fact, returning from an all-day shopping spree in Milan, Italy. The angry members of Qatar's royal house may claim outrage at gender equality, but they seem to have no problem with the libertine West when it comes to splurging their kingdom's wealth on luxury items.
This type of hypocrisy in the Muslim world is not limited to supposedly devout oil-rich Gulf sheiks who cherry-pick Western sin. Terrorists — with one foot in the 7th century and the other in the 21st century — want it both ways, too.
How often have we heard Ayman al-Zawahiri, the mouthpiece of al-Qaida, damn the disruptive culture of the West? Yet he has no reservations about broadcasting his infomercials using video technology made possible by a secular science unique to Westernized culture. And does the observant Zawahiri object that his pals, the pious Taliban, are linked to heroin traffickers?
Jihadists champion sharia law, too. But when captured, they hire sophisticated secular Western nitpicking lawyers to sue over conditions in Guantanamo or incarceration in British prisons. Al-Qaida, of course, complains about everything from American troops once stationed in Saudi Arabia to even the U.S.'s failure to sign the Kyoto accords. Meanwhile, by blowing up religious shrines across Iraq, they show far less respect for mosques than we do.
There is a general pattern in these various paradoxes of fundamentalist Islam, both its violent and non-violent manifestations.
Supposedly Western sins, such as drugs, bribery and rampant consumerism, turn out to be as common in the Muslim world as they are here. In Saudi Arabia, homosexuality even seems to be tolerated as long as it is not overtly discussed in public. Indeed, the only real difference may be our Western tendency to talk freely in a secular context about controversial topics rather than hide or repress their presence.
Moreover, it is not always what we do in the Middle East, or even who we are, that infuriates the radical Muslim world. Its frustration also rises out of fascination with the West — and the ensuing religious embarrassment over wanting what we enjoy.
It's worth noting that the United States is not hated in numerous other places, such as sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, where it has had a military presence or adopted controversial foreign policies.
In contrast, the peculiar furor at the U.S. in the radical Islamic world arises because our culture, when viewed on DVD, satellite television and the Internet, is judged to be incorrect in the ideal world of 7th-century Islam — and impossible for conflicted Muslims to enjoy fully in the 21st.
Of course, our foreign policy, or even the crassness of Western pornography, can inflame this preexisting anti-Americanism. But, ultimately, there remains this divide between vibrant modern life that is the product of the Western Enlightenment and a static tribal order that is not.
What to do? The time is over both for coffee-table talk in the West about a pie-in-the-sky "reformation" needed in Islam, and the endless habit in the Middle East of blaming others for self-inflicted miseries.
Instead, right now we should hold the Muslim world to the same standards of tolerance that we demand of ourselves — no more apologies for things like our insensitive cartoons or excuses for their insane anger against novelists. In turn, the Middle East must grow up and accept, like the rest of the world, that there are social and cultural costs and consequences for any who wish to embrace the benefits of modernism.

Tokyo 2020 Olympics: Customs Finally Release Seized Kits Of The Nigerian Basketball Teams After 3 Months
The Nigeria Customs Service has finally released the seized basketball kits and equipment meant for the country's men's and women's basketball teams at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
Recall the kit was impounded at the seaport in Apapa, Lagos for over three months, with the Nigeria Basketball Federation reportedly asked by the NCS to pay N35m to clear the goods.
On Thursday, July 15, the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, was able to secure the release of the kits ahead of the global sport's showpiece starting in eight days' time.
According to a message from the media office of the sports minister signed by John Joshua Akanji, Dare secured the release of the goods through the help of the finance ministry and the NCS.
"As promised, the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mr. Sunday Dare's intervention has secured the release of basketball kits of the Nigerian Basketball Federation from Apapa Warf," the statement reads.
"The Caretaker Chairman of the Nigerian Basketball Federation, Musa Ahmadu-Kida, confirmed the release of the items late Thursday.
"The minister expressed appreciation to the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning and the Comptroller-General of Nigerian Customs Service, Hameed Ali, for making the release of the kits possible."

Karthik Murali April 27, 2015 Leave a Reply
I am baffled sometimes that despite happiness is all over us, we humans mostly fail to see it and wait for a miracle to happen to change their lives and become happier. We generally expect big things to happen before we go out and celebrate the moments, like a big wedding, a new car purchase or to say the least, a birthday. In most cases, we end up waiting forever, brooding about our monotonous lives that we never get time to celebrate nor such an occasion
Live is not about waiting for the big moments, but rather finding the small moments that we already encounter, cherish and enjoy and celebrate for them. For example, after a long day at work, coming home to find your pet dog running towards you, licking you all over, wagging its tail furiously and end up playing with you for quite a while, which itself is quite a wonderful moment. In another scenario, your favourite team could have won the match making you feel really good.
So what are the little things that are necessary for me to celebrate each and every moment:
A peaceful home : Yes, who doesn't love to go back to a home filled with calm and peace .A place where you can go back at any given moment and makes you feel relaxed .A home that offers all the facilities that you need to be happy and of course with the right people around
Job : Almost everyone has a demanding job that makes them work for at least 9-10 hours a day literally tiring them out. But what they don't come to realize is that, the same job is the one that's primarily responsible for their wealthy and happy lives and gives them the purchasing power to get what they need.
Travel : The biggest joy I get is when I have to travel. The joy of going in a train/flight, discovering new
places, tasting different cuisines and understanding new cultures and languages can be a cause for celebration as well. Whether it's a road trip or travelling beyond to international destinations it's an everlasting memory and one should experience this atleast twice a year, taking a break from the monotonous life
Blog : My biggest inspiration and reason for celebration is my blog. An outlet where I get to write all my creative articles on different topics and in process getting many wonderful prizes giving me a wonderful chance to celebrate
#CelebrateLifeAtIvy by owning a dream home at Ivy estate, an 85 acre estate with 34 acres of greenery and open spaces. Join the 1600 happy families already living here. Check out this walkthrough video and decide for yourself
Pepsi IPL CrashtheIPL Ads
The biggest tournament of the year is here and its even bigger this time. The Pepsi IPL has arrived in style fresh out of the smashing World Cup in Australia. All the 8 teams have regrouped together to get into the T20 mode and have marked the Championship as their next target.
The excitement is over the roof as fans have lined up as early in the morning near the cricket stadiums to grab those tickets and not miss out one of the greatest and most glamorous cricketing spectacle of the year. The Fan base for many teams has crossed several millions as they fight it over in Twitter, Blogs and other social media sites furiously defending their team
On similar lines, Pepsi has started a new campaign that allows fans like us to show our excitement of the IPL and Pepsi by making short 30 second ads , calling it as #CrashthePepsiIPL
The submission gallery has now reached several hundreds as people have begun to create really quirky, innovative and funky ads on how they love Pepsi .After a tough review, I have narrowed it down to a few choices of ads which really impressed me, especially considering the fact that all these people are just amateurs and probably have never shot a video before
So here's my list of favourites :
Love : This is a nice romantic ad, where a guy probably on a date is trying to put his hand over the girls shoulder but doesn't get the courage to do so. He tries many times but fails in his attempts . But after a refreshing shot of Pepsi, the girl herself places her hand over his waist ,rejoicing in love. A nice innovative ad where it's taken very aesthetically with a slight dose of humour
PepsiBreak : Definitely one of my most favourite ads in the list, this is a fully graphic video of an animated character in fight with another, finally punching him down to fly towards the bottle of pepsi. This is really an outstanding work of graphics where the character is merely drawn as sketches and clipped as video for this 30 second of ad. I'd probably place all my bets on this amazing ad to win the award and hope it gets aired on TV as well
The Game of Cricket : An intense game of cricket match where the batsmen hits it powerfully for a drive ,and the field chasing the ball finds the bottle of Pepsi rolling ,and rather than fielding the ball, grabs the ball of Pepsi and runs away with it. A simple straight to the point ad, with a dose of fun and humour , this definitely ranks as one of my favourite and some good acting by the guys too
Check out the #CrashThePepsiIPL videos & participate in the activity at BlogAdda
Crashing the Pepsi IPL
The Pepsi IPL 2015 is here with eight teams battling it out with all their nerves to get the championship. Almost all the teams have revamped their side, learnt from their past failures and have a better understanding of their opponent's strengths and weaknesses. They are charged up to make a difference and justify their presence in their respective tams
The month long tournament sure has fired up the crowd's excitement as well, watching the big hitters smashing the deliveries to huge sixes and boundaries and enjoying in the revelry. The excitement is not only restricted to the on-field twenty over cricket match but also offline thanks to the new initiative and campaign by Pepsi called #CrashThePepsiIPL
This gallery : https://www.crashthepepsiipl.com/gallery.html contains a massive list of user created videos / ads based on the Pepsi IPL theme. Each ad has a very unique concept and a theme that is very delightful to watch .Spoilt for choices it was a very difficult one to choose which was one my favourite ,as there was so much good creative content all arouind
But if I were to choose a few ads that really impressed me, here's the list and why
The Pepsi Proposal :
One of my most favourites would be the following ad, where two guys are trying to propose to a girl with a rose, but the girl on the other hand is attracted to the cool guy walking across drinking a can of Pepsi. Realizing their window of opportunity here, the other two guys rush off to grab a pepsi can themselves . Watch out for the surprise ending though J
Divided by Culture, United by Pepsi:
A very interesting ad, this one talks about two couples from different parts of the country trying to outsmart each other by displaying different varieties of food they carried along and finally both take out a bottle of Pepsi at the same time . Different states but one country!
The Desire :
The last ad I would like to talk about is a like typical commercial . A group of young women try to learn Yoga and meditation but rather succumb to the desire of having a drink like Pepsi and they wake up to the sounds of the instructor drinking a can of Pepsi in secret. The ad was well made, professionally shot, stuck to the script and really deserves the ad
Hope some of these ads are selected and aired on live television during the tournament
Promoting Underground Artists - Artistaloud.com
Music is an art form that can represent different things to different people. For some it can be a hobby, where one gets to practice it during their free time. For some, it can be their passion, a career they chose voluntarily, trying to make a mark for them. Turning down the lucrative corporate job offer, some musicians try to pursue their musical inclinations and begin to launch themselves in the music industry. Some succeed spectacularly and become famous directors, while some still hunt for music gigs in small concerts or end up becoming a YouTube Artist, whom I refer to as Underground Artists
With lack of recognitions and monetary support, there have been plenty of excellent underground artists who have gone unfounded. Compared to other countries, India has a massive wealth of artists who have immense potential to create and contribute to the world of music. But sadly, with the exception of the big artists, the smaller artists don't have a platform to launch themselves and remain invisible to the world.
One such brilliant initiative to promote these upcoming artists is ArtistAloud.com. Their main objective is to create a platform especially for independent musicians, bands and singers who create non film private albums, reach out to them and assist them in promoting, distribute their music to a wider audience across the world. They have accumulated an immense collection of songs and music videos, in due process in almost every genre, language.
Some of my favourite artists in the site includes :
Sunitha Sarathy,
Veena Malik (http://www.artistaloud.com/VeenaMalik)
Raghav Sanchar (http://www.artistaloud.com/RaghavSachar).
The list goes on and each day the artist count just seems to increase
Artist Aloud contains 200 + Artists who want to create a name for them and make their music heard throughout. With this aim in mind, ArtistAloud.com conduct the annual music awards for these artists, called Artist Aloud Music Awards (AAMA), where independent artists who are featured on Artist Aloud are felicitated for their creations in the field of Indian music.
The genre's for these awards include :
The artists under these categories are selected by a very special extensive jury and the awards are given out based on a voting system and popularity. This is our best chance to promote upcoming artists, sharing their music and vote for them and do our part to promote this social cause : artistaloud.com/aama
So if you're in the mood to discover some new rock music or indie pop, log on to http://www.artistaloud.com/ and start grooving to the songs

Zenfone 2 - Redefining Smartphones
Asus has already proven itself with their previous launch of Asus Zenfone 4/5/6 series and with no surprise, had become an overnight success. With the launch of Asus Zenfone 2, the stakes has just got a whole lot higher, with even tougher specs, longer lasting battery and a phone that can give the big players a run for their money. So if I were to catalog the top 5 reasons why I would choose the Asus Zenfone 2 and complete redefine my smartphone experience, it would be the following
Processor & RAM
Zenfone 5, when it was launched came with an impressive 2GB RAM and an Intel Duo Core processor, something quite rare among the phones that was launched then .It meant immense processing capabilities that one could do.Zenfone 2 however has literally doubled this capacity with a never before seen 4GB RAM, inside a 5.5' inch phone. This is technically the world's first smartphone to come with a 4G RAM and possessing a dual channel performance. Coupled with a 2.3GHz 64-bit Intel® Atom™ Z3580 Quad Core processor (this is nearly more than 7 times that of its predecessor) .My smartphone experience will never be the same again with this kind of hardware capabilities as it'll offer me a very powerful gaming experience without any lags. This gives me an ideal chance to play Need for Speed, Asphalt 8 and Mortal Kombat in high graphics mode and also surf the net with a classic web browsing experience
Camera with Pixel Master Technology
Upgrading from 8MP camera in its predecessor to a 13MP af/2.0-aperture lens back camera & 5MP front Camera, the Zenfone 2 can be an ideal replacement for a digital camera. It can take high resolution photos in super HDR format, with large amount of detailing and most of all with zero shutter lag. The Low light mode in the camera is basically the tip of the iceberg, where photos are captured with nearly 400% brightness, even without the need of a flash. Your selfies just got a whole lot better too!
ZenUI Experience :
One of the most sought after features in any Asus Zenfone series is the supserior Zen User Interface experience. With careful attention to detailing, the ZenUI gives a very easy to use,more user friendly experience on top of the Android Lollipop OS. Some of the recently added components include ZenMotion, SnapView, TrendMicro Security etc
TurboCharging :
With the latest BoostMaster technology , Zenfone 2 charges upto 60% in a matter of just 39 minutes. This can be very useful when one is on the move and has less time to charge his phone which has drained out . The BoostMaster would be like an instant Adrenalin rush, powering the phone with a longer lasting battery
One more welcome move is the up gradation of the battery power from 2100 mAh(in its predecessor) to a 3000mAh battery that should easily make you last for an entire day
Dual Active Dual Sim
ASUS Zenfone 2 comes with a Dual Sim phone that can be active simultaneously. Switching between calls with two different SIM cars can never be easier than this. Most Dual SIM phones till date ideally say, the phone is out of network coverage area for a Sim, when the other SIM is being used. But this is no longer the case when it comes to Asus Zenfone 2 , as you can switch between the numbers seamlessly

Soften your clothes and fabrics naturally, without fabric softener, by adding these Hedgehog Dryer Balls to your tumble-dryer. They lift and separate the laundry, softening and fluffing-up the fabric naturally whilst reducing static and saving you money and energy. Great for towels. 2 per pack.
I have only used these twice. They worked but I will have to see if they last given other reviewer's comments.
Seem to be good and hope they last.
Prompt , efficient order, despatch and delivery.
Was initially pleased when I received these but on the first use one ball was completely broken into small pieces, but the other was still intact.
Service and delivery was good.
One of my previous pair got brittle and started to break after use, but they do make the tumble drying process more efficient, so I replaced them immediately.
We're sorry to hear that you have received a faulty product. Customer services will be in touch shortly to arrange an exchange or refund.
They don't suddenly make your washing absolutely wonderful but they do seem to make it softer and are nice enough to sit on the shelf instead of being stored away.
arrived quickly and well wrapped.
Bought as gift, nice original idea. Cute wee hedgehogs of reasonable quality satisfactorily boxed.
The product looks to be well made. Any further comments will have to wait until they have been used with a variety of materials.
We initially went to another supplier for a similar product. While preparing an order for yourselves I spotted these on your web site. They were added to my order and arrived with the other items. Great Service.
They make a noise jumping around but they do the job = fluffier towels etc.
They certainly do a good job in the Tumble Dryer and they are Soooooo cute too!
Ease of ordering and really good service makes me happy to shop with PfM.
Makes your cloths very soft!
Does what is says on the tin. Add to the tumble drier and make your cloths lovely. Great value and look good. Cant ask for much more. Highly recommended.
Will buy through you again. Great company to deal with.
This product does seem to work. This is our 2nd order for the product because one of the first pair completely shattered after a very short period of use: it seemed to have become very brittle.
Looked really cute when they arrived but after 1 use the noses came off so didn't look as cute, little did I know there was worse to come. After the next use one of the poor hedgies started to break up and every use after that bits of him came off until he is no more. His mate is still intact minus his nose but I'm sure he's lonely. £8.99 is a lot of money to spend on this rubbish.

Shootaround: Dissecting this week's hoops action
Sportswriter Derrick Webb delves deep into his notebook for this week's Shootaround.
Shootaround: Dissecting this week's hoops action Sportswriter Derrick Webb delves deep into his notebook for this week's Shootaround. Check out this story on chillicothegazette.com: http://ohne.ws/2Dex3Mk

CHILLICOTHE - Ugh. Winter.
It's not that I don't like the snow or the cold. In fact, I'd rather it be 50 degrees and chilly than 75 degrees and sunny and yes, I know I'm in the minority.
But when Mother Nature starts interfering with sporting events, I draw the line. With several games postponed this weekend, we still had a full week of basketball action.
Here's this week's Shootaround:
A. In Tuesday's pivotal win over Unioto, Southeastern's girls made a statement — one they shouldn't have had to make. The two-time defending champion Panthers resoundingly let the rest of the league know that the SVC title still runs through them. You want a piece of the league trophy? Beat the Panthers. That's how you get it. SE has now won 35 consecutive conference games, three away from tying the record.
B. We have to remember that Westfall's girls are still extremely youthful. Even with four seniors and a junior on their roster, the Mustangs are still handing out significant playing time to two sophomores and three freshmen. Sophomores Marcy Dudgeon and Maddie Kitchen, as well as freshmen Mahaley Farmer, Kylee Henry and Kendra Lindsey are all developing talent. Westfall is just 4-10 this year but there is hope on the horizon.
C. After Thursday's 39-31 win over Paint Valley, Piketon coach Brett Coreno talked about climbing out of a recent rut by saying, "We told the girls to shoot the ball. They didn't and saw the consequences. Tonight, I thought they took the shots they needed to take in order to succeed." That seems to be the key for this year's Redstreaks. They already know how to play defense; Coreno's teams always do. But if they become a bit more focused on putting the ball in the basket, they could be a tough out in February.
Southeastern coach Mike Adams after Tuesday's 58-36 win over Unioto:
"The first three or four basketball games this season, we looked rough. The kids have accepted their new roles, we've got everybody offensive minded and when it's time to take their shots, they're taking their shots. We want to be the lone survivor at the end of the league race. That's the goal. We have to take it one game at a time."
Piketon senior Avery Reuter on what she looks for as a point guard:
"I always try to read my teammates. On certain nights, some are on and some are off. So I try to read how they're going to play that night because you can tell when they get down. So I pick them up. I know what they can do and sometimes they forget that. But when I see that we're kind of slow, I try to make some action happen."
Impact Players of the Week
In two wins this week, Piketon's Gracie Lightle scored 17 points and grabbed 11 boards. In Tuesday's win over Westfall, Lightle had 12 points before grabbing a team-high seven rebounds in Thursday's win over Paint Valley.
Adena's girls picked up their first win this season with a 44-16 win over Zane Trace Tuesday. In that contest, Hannah Stark scored 13 points. Stark is averaging 10.3 points per game this season and continues to quietly emerge as a star.
Praying for speedy recovery for PV's @woodslexi1 who was injured in our game tonight. Hope she can bounce back. Great player and kid.
— Tiffany Carroll (@coachcarroll15) January 10, 2018
Huntington's girls coach shares a thought we all have for Paint Valley's Lexi Woods. The senior is out 4-to-6 weeks with a broken wrist. She's 15 points away from breaking the school's scoring record. We certainly hope she's back in time to do so.
Shot of the Week

Stat Line Anomalies
There's nothing new about Huntington's Braiden Collins lighting up a score book like the Fourth of July. However, Collins' latest double-double was the first of its kind this season — for any area player.
Alongside her 32 points in a 62-51 win over Westfall Thursday night, the junior posted 10 steals. Coming into the week, Collins led the area in steals with 56.
She's doing nothing to hurt her campaign to stay atop the category.
Double Bonus
Southeastern's Ella Skeens became just the fourth player in the history of the Scioto Valley Conference to eclipse the 1,900 career point mark. The senior scored 37 in a win over Adena Thursday, putting her career total at 1,902.
Zane Trace's girls have had their struggles this season. With a roster full of youth, the Pioneers have taken their lumps. However, freshman Lauren Lane has emerged as a real scoring threat. Lane scored 26 points in two contests this week and hit six 3's.
1. Unioto (8-1), 2. Chillicothe (9-3), 3. Zane Trace (8-2), 4. Eastern (10-3), 5. Piketon (7-3), 6. Waverly (8-3), 7. Paint Valley (5-5), 8. Southeastern (4-6), 9. Adena (2-7), 10. Westfall (3-9), 11. Huntington (1-9)
1. Southeastern (11-2), 2. Unioto (10-3), 3. Huntington (10-2), 4. Waverly (7-8), 5. Piketon (8-6), 6. Chillicothe (4-10), 7. Paint Valley (5-9), 8. Westfall (4-10), 9. Adena (1-13), 10. Zane Trace (0-12)

By David R. Parsons, ICEJ Vice President and Senior Spokesman
Late in July, the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem welcomed another Aliyah flight bearing Jewish families making their way home to Israel. This flight came from Paris with 160 French Jews on board—ICEJ sponsored the flights for 32 of these newcomers, who hope to start a new life in the Jewish state away from the rising tide of anti-Semitism in France.
Some may wonder why French Jews need help with the costs of their flights to Israel. The general perception is that France is a well-to-do country, and most French Jews can afford the move to Israel. In reality, most of the old-line native French Jewish community was wiped (or chased) out of France during World War II and its aftermath. Of the remaining 500,000 Jews in France today, nearly three-fourths of them come from families who escaped to there from North Africa during colonial uprisings in the region two generations ago. And with them came many Arab Muslim immigrants, who settled alongside the Jewish refugees from Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia in the same poor neighborhoods of Paris, Marseilles, and other large French cities.
Today, many of these North African Jewish and Arab refugee families still live side-by-side in these same crowded, poor neighborhoods where they still struggle to make ends meet. And over the past two decades, the Jewish families in these areas have come under the increasing threat of anti-Semitism, especially as many young French Muslims have been drawn into radical Islam and jihadism.
Even in more prospering areas of France, Jews have felt under siege, especially since the terror assault on the Charlie Hebdo magazine offices and the deadly hostage standoff at the Hyper Cache kosher supermarket in Paris in 2015. As with many other Jewish communities across Europe, Jewish synagogues, day schools, museums, and community centers in France have become like fortresses, with metal detectors and heavily armed guards posted outside.
As a result, nearly 250,000 Jews have left France since around the year 2000, when violent protests erupted against Israel and Jews at the outset of the second Palestinian intifada. Some of these Jewish émigrés have opted to join the growing French Jewish enclaves in Canada, Australia, or the United States, but a rising number have chosen Israel as a safer location for them. And many of those coming to Israel right now tend to be from these more impoverished, vulnerable Jewish neighborhoods and are the least able to afford the expenses of moving to another country. So they need our help, and it is our privilege and even our moral duty to assist them on their way home to Israel.
In truth, most of the nearly four million Jews who have returned home to Israel over the past 140 years have been poor and in great need of assistance. It began in the 1880s when Jews from southern Russia decided to flee repeated pogroms by simply leaving everything behind and starting to walk toward Jerusalem—they knew the direction because they had always prayed facing the holy city. At about that same time, remnants of the ancient Yemenite Jewish community felt the same drawing toward the promised land and began walking to Zion with few possessions in hand.
This fit the vision of the last-days ingathering of Israel proclaimed by the prophet Isaiah: "What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD has founded Zion, and the poor of His people shall take refuge in it" (Isaiah 14:32) This has turned out to be an extremely accurate prophetic word.
After Israel gained its independence in 1948, the young nation prioritized bringing in all the beleaguered Jewish refugees from Europe who had been denied entry under the British Mandate. The focus was on the 250,000 Holocaust Survivors still stuck in displacement camps across Europe. These were primarily European Jews who had lost everything in the Nazi Holocaust—not only their homes and wealth but their families as well. Many were left without a single living relative. So a wave of penniless orphans were absorbed into an already struggling country of 660,000 people.
In his book My Promised Land: The Triumph and Tragedy of Israel, journalist Ari Shavit writes about how the state of Israel was established by European Jews who were orphaned by the Holocaust. Many of their parents and grandparents sent them ahead to Palestine in the 1930s but never made it themselves. Others rebelled against their parents and traveled to Eretz Israel on their own, and never saw their parents again.
"Zionism was an orphans' movement, a desperate crusade of Europe's orphans," writes Shavit. "As the unwanted sons and daughters of the Christian continent fled the hatred of their surrogate mother, they discovered they were all alone in the world. . . Having lost one civilization, they had to construct another. Having lost their homeland, they had to invent another. That is why they came to Palestine, and why they now cling to the land with such desperate determination."
These mainly Ashkenazi Jews from European backgrounds then faced a new and sudden crisis. Following Israel's victory in the 1948 War of Independence, many Arab and Islamic countries began expelling Jewish communities that had lived in their countries for over 2,000 years. In the early 1950s, more than 800,000 Sephardic Jews (of Spanish and Middle Eastern origins) began flooding into Israel, many by foot. They came from Morocco to Iran, stripped of all possessions. Many had left behind large villas and estates and lucrative businesses, only to live in tents for the next several years. There were social tensions between Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews early on, yet the nation successfully managed to absorb this massive wave of destitute refugees.
The next major wave of Aliyah came when the Soviet Union collapsed, opening the door for over one million Russian-speaking Jews to come home to Israel during the 1990s. As they left their former nations, authorities severely limited the amount of money and goods they could take with them. When neighbors found out they were moving to Israel, no one wanted to pay anything for their homes, knowing it could be gotten on the cheap once they left. Stories abound of these Soviet Jewish Olim throwing their last few rubles and kopeks on the tarmac once they landed at Ben-Gurion Airport.
Still today, many Jews are making Aliyah to Israel who are struggling and need help in re-starting their lives in the Land of Promise. Not all of them can afford the move and the rebuilding of their lives from scratch. So we should be there to help, knowing that Israel, after all, is a nation built by orphans and outcasts regathered from nations who had always rejected them. Indeed, "The LORD, has founded Zion, and the poor of His people shall take refuge in it" (Isaiah 14:32).
Since our founding in September 1980, the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem has assisted more than 160,000 Jews to make Aliyah to Israel. They are coming from the north, south, east, and west—just as the Bible promises. You can help us bring them home.

Spike Lee's "Do The Right Thing" Back In Theaters To Celebrate 30th Anniversary
By Erika Marie
His 1989 classic earned him an Oscars nod.
Filmmaker Spike Lee's movies often reflect the political climate in which they were created, but their timeless qualities make them relatable to any generation. Lee's 1989 class Do the Right Thing featured a number of recognizable figures, some who weren't household names when they starred in the iconic film. Rosie Perez, Samuel L. Jackson, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Danny Aiello, Giancarlo Esposito, and John Turturro are just a few actors who helped round an unforgettable cast.
Set in Brooklyn, the film takes place in a 24 hour period on an unbearably hot day. The story follows the intertwining tales of the neighborhood block's players and is centered around racial tensions, mostly from the Italian-owned and run pizza shop. To celebrate the film's 30th Anniversary, on June 28 the remastered 4K restoration version of Do the Right Thing will be re-released. According to Deadline, the release will include one-week engagements as well as single-day showtimes June 30 at select AMC, Regal Cinemas, Cinemark, and Alamo Drafthouse theaters. There also will be 35mm screenings at select theaters in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin and Brookline, MA."
"When Spike Lee's revolutionary Do the Right Thing was released by Universal Pictures 30 years ago this June, it ignited a national conversation on race and race relations in America that challenged our assumptions about ourselves and our country and heralded the arrival of a generation-defining filmmaker," said Jim Orr, Universal's President of Domestic Theatrical Distribution.
"In the decades since [Do the Right Thing], Universal has released six of Lee's most unforgettable films including Crooklyn, Mo Better Blues, Jungle Fever and Inside Man," Orr said. "And last year, NBCUniversal's Focus Features released Lee's acclaimed BlacKkKlansman, which earned Lee his long-overdue first Academy Award. Universal is honored by Lee's enduring relationship with the studio, and we are thrilled to re-release his masterwork Do the Right Thing with this extraordinary new restoration."
Do the Right Thing earned Lee an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.

Posted on Jan 30, 2022 in Boardgames, Front Page Features
The Kriegsmarine threatens Britain's Atlantic lifeline in GMT Games, "Atlantic Chase: The naval war in the Atlantic 1939-1943". Board Game Review.
Ray Garbee
Atlantic Chase: The Kriegsmarine Against the Home Fleet. Publisher: GMT Games. Designer: Jeremy White. Price $85.00
Passed inspection: A multi-layered operational game covering maritime operations from 1939 through 1943.Extensive two-player and solitaire scenarios. Well laid-out rulebook(s) nicely cross-referenced with the play aid charts.
Failed basic: "Failed basic" is an overly harsh term here. We could quibble over how specific ships are rated for firepower and if the effect of airstrikes is overstated or understated. But the biggest challenge is that Atlantic Chase is a radically different game from what traditional naval gamers are used to playing. The block format of the trajectories may be off-putting to old school hex and counter grognards. But work through the pain, folks – this is a great game!
steamed for the Jutland coast into bad weather and stumbled upon our quarry. After a short exchange of gunfire, the Germans managed to break contact. In the morning, the storm had passed and the real battle began. Luftwaffe dive bombers and torpedo planes repeatedly struck our formation. We reversed course, but the speed and size of the air attack inflicted heavy losses on our task force. Almost every battleship and battlecruiser were damaged with HMS Rodney succumbing to repeated hits, sinking beneath the cold waters of the North Sea. They say 'a ship's a fool to fight a fort', but I'd rather face any fort than to again face dive bombers without our own air support…..
In 2021 GMT Games released Atlantic Chase: by designer Jerry White. Jerry is the creative mind behind both the Enemy Action Ahead and Skies Above the Reich series of games. Atlantic Chase promises to do for naval operations what those prior games did for aerial missions.
Cover of the Atlantic Chase box
Atlantic Chase: The Kriegsmarine Against the Home Fleet covers the naval war in the Atlantic, Arctic and North Sea between the outbreak of hostilities in 1939 through 1943 – nominally when the Allies had 'won' the war at sea. This is a two-player game, thought it has the very strong support for solitaire play. I had failed to order the game during the P500 campaign, but was very lucky to stumble upon a copy in one of my local game stores in the summer of 2021. The game languished on the shelf as I tackled some other projects, but with the onset of winter, it was time to bring the game to the table. Time to peel of the shrink wrap and see what this game has to offer.
The game has an interesting set of components, including a mounted gameboard and a supply of wooden blocks and nicely rendered counters. The complete contents of the game break down as follows;
22 x 34″ mounted game board
Two 8.5″x11″ Inset Maps
Three 11″x17″ player aid cards
Two 8.5″x11″ player aid cards
Two Task Force Displays
Sheet and a half of counters
240 wood segments and cylinders
Advanced Battle Rules
Tutorial booklet
Solitaire Scenario booklet
Two-player Scenario booklet
Four six-sided dice
I'm not going to spend too much time describing these items. There are a number of excellent unboxing videos already out there for you peruse. But I do want to focus on what I think are the exceptional items here – the tutorial booklet and scenarios booklets (plural!!). Take together you have many hours of game play within these pages. The tutorials are basically 'mini-games' designed to teach you a couple of rules at a time. Pile on top of that the well-crafted dedicated solitaire scenarios and the two-player campaign game, operations and mini-scenario tactical battle games and there is a lot of bang for the buck here.
Task Force trajectory blocks are the most common piece on the game board.
It sounds as if I'm liking the game, right? Because, yes, I enjoyed learning and playing the game. But Atlantic Chase has a challenge to overcome. It's what put me off from backing the P500 and I can see where it could be a challenge for other traditional hex and counter gamers. That challenge is…the blocks. It's easy to see those blocks and immediately classify the game as a generic 'Euro-type' game that lacks the feel and crunchiness of a traditional naval wargame. It's not an area movement game like Avalon Hill's classic "War at Sea" or "Victory in the Pacific" and it's not a conventional hex and counter naval game like Avalanche Press's Great War at Sea series (yes, yes, I know GWAS using offset squares and not hexes, but the effect is the same). It was this perceptual bias that kept me from ordering the game during the P500 campaign. My perception was that this was trying to turn naval gaming™ into an abstracted Eurogame with naval combat as a theme. It didn't grab me at the time.
I could not have been more wrong.
Jerry White and the team at GMT Games have crafted a solid game that will appeal to both the solitaire player as well as naval gamers looking for a variety of challenges. After the first three tutorial lessons I was on board with what the game trying to model.
The game offers an experience unlike other naval games I've played over the years. Playing the game, you'll definitely feel you've been cast in the role of a senior naval officer. Your responsibilities extend far beyond a single ships bridge, or even the flag plot of a task force flagship. Instead, your purview is your entire navy. You can issue orders to your task force(s) and naval forces, but the execution of your instructions lies in the hands of your subordinates. At the end of the day – you've got missions to complete and you have to keep the big picture firmly in my if you want to succeed.
But that's not to say you are totally removed from the operations of your task forces. Indeed, the game empowers you to direct your forces against the enemy using the "Four F's"
Find the enemy – Locate the enemy.
Fix the enemy – Pin them down with suppressing fire.
Fight the enemy – Engage the enemy in combat or flank the enemy – Send soldiers to the enemy's sides or rear.
Finish the enemy – Eliminate all enemy combatants.
Captain Wayne P. Hughes laid out the broad strokes of naval tactics in his book "Fleet Tactics" (Naval Institute Press, 2018). "Fire effectively first". To do that, you need to use the "Four F's" while denying your opponent the opportunity to do the same to you. The "Four F's" roughly correspond to actions your forces may take during a game turn.
Naval search is an activity designed to localize, then the location of an enemy force. Air Strikes can play into this as one of the results is to generate 'contacts' that make future actions more effective.
Once you've located the enemy, you can move your ships to intercept.
All this prior work is designed to bring the enemy to action. You can engage the enemy with your surface forces. Alternatively, if they are in range of your maritime aviation assets (either land-based air, or for the British, carrier-based air) you can launch strikes at enemy task forces. This is the surface gun duels or the air attacks at the heart of the naval combat model.
The game mechanisms are very well crafted in that you are not constrained by the game turn as to when you do what, but rather have to choose what seems to be the best option at that moment to advance your goals.
There are a number of tasks that equate to the activities needed to seek, search and strike your opponent. Your specific choice of task is a decision that reflects your current capabilities and your current objectives. As the Germans, you can attempt to engage Allied convoys in the North Atlantic, but you'll have to deal with the Allied counter moves if the Royal Navy sorties from their fleet bases or attempts to use airpower to damage your force at sea.
These actions do not happen in a vacuum. Your opponent will often have the opportunity to attempt to react, sometimes even pre-empting your action before it can happen. This feedback rewards a savvy player that recognizing the percentages associated with the various interruption and initiative tasks. For example, there's a base 28% chance of seizing the initiative – with each failed attempt modifier making in more likely, but consult a table of 2d6 outcomes if you need a refresher in your chances of success. You are messing with each other's OODA loops here and trying to disrupt the operational tempo and decision-making loops on each side. It yields a complex game experience from a relatively uncomplicated set of actions.
You know what else really makes the game work? Believe it or not – it's the concept of trajectory using those wooden blocks. Yep, the very thing that initially turned me off backing the game. The trajectories allows you to sketch out the broad strokes of operations, while preserving dense fog of war regarding the location of your own and the opponents' forces. This ain't the old classic War at Sea with its sea zones and pitched battles each game turn. If anything, the trajectory blocks drive home the importance of positioning task forces and planning your operations with an eye towards your opponent's reactions.
The game provides a great feel for the tension of fleet command as you move your pieces on the chess board of the sea and now have to sit back and wait for those contact reports to come in to headquarters. Standing against that are a couple of minor quibbles from the experience.
The air strike feature bugs me. I suspect a lot of this is situational and perceptional. Air strike will have an effect, but what I wrestle with is that this effect is both either not enough or too much. Looking at the numbers of the Fleet Air Arm and Coastal Command (See Hobbes, Taranto, 2020), the effects of British Air Strikes give a good return on the number of actual real-world planes and aircrew. The same is likely true of the Luftwaffe maritime strike units. Never plentiful or at strength, in the Atlantic, they achieved good results for their numbers. Having a carrier present is helpful just for the air support bonus it can provide. What it means in the game is that you venture into the range of enemy aircraft at your own peril. A few bad die rolls can play your entire task force in jeopardy.
Assorted battleships in the game
Battlecruisers of the respective combatants.
One other thing bothers me, but it's the kind of quibble not unique to Atlantic Chase The gunnery and damage ratings for various ships are sure to generate spirited debate. (Just go read any naval gaming forum and ask which is better – King George V or Bismarck and you'll poke the hornet's nest. We face the same thing with Atlantic Chase in how the gunnery factor, speed and armor ratings reduce many ships to carbon copies of each other. Jerry White addresses some of the gunnery issue as it relates to superior German long range gunnery (Shades of Jutland!) but looking at a comparison of KGV, Bismarck and USS Washington left me puzzled as USS Washington didn't seem to possess any inherent advantages. I'll grant that the game reflects Washington before her 1942 refit at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, with modernized search and fire control radars, so it may be a question of the changes just washing out at the scale of the game. Related to that. Most every cruiser has very similar ratings, to the point that it doesn't see to matter which ships get assigned to a mission, they're all basically interchangeable. That may be true from the view of the Admiralty building in London, but traditional naval gamers obsess over differences in guns and sensors. They may find the lack of detail disappointing. Again, it's really about the scale of the game and the granularity of the model. So don't obsess over the ship stat's, just remember your in the role of a senior leader managing operations and get on with it!
Assorted ships. The variation in cruisers is mostly in speed.
Okay, you've sold me. I want to take the fleet out to sea! What are my options?
Atlantic Chase is more like three games in one. I mentioned the scenario books earlier in this review. Well, all three of them given you a variety of gaming experiences. First up, the tutorial lessons are very short games designed to demonstrate one or two new concepts. They build on each other and become more complex. The remind me of the old "Programmed Instruction" method used in the classic Avalon Hill games.
Next up are the dedicated solitaire scenarios. These encompass both small solitaire scenarios and larger scenarios that allow you to find a game that fits your time needs. Using the Norwegian inset map, they give you a chance to practice what you have learned in the waters of the North Sea.
The situation room at Western Approaches HQ. The game captures the feel of directing operations from a HQ such as this.
The larger solitaire scenarios have you playing the 'full game', albeit against a scenario specific 'bot'. These 'bots have been given clear, but not exhaustive instructions that creates a reasonable opponent action choice. The bot's actions are coupled to the scenario victory conditions, which makes each solitaire scenario an engaging experience, but also one that can play out quite differently from one game to the next.
Between the tutorials and the dedicated solitaire scenarios the solo gamer will derive hours of entertainment from the game. There scenarios lend themselves to repeated play as the specific AI actions will vary based on activity die roll, reinforcement die rolls and the tactical situation at the time. The AI holds up. It's aggressive, yet the results will press the player to react to the changing tactical situation. It's not infallible, and with a little luck you can pull it into an awkward tactical position. But be warned I got my head handed to me by the bot on several occasions!
However, as Ron Popiel would say, 'but wait, there's more!'
There is a separate book of two player scenarios. This also contains the full campaign game as well as a host of 'micro-scenarios' which are really just short tactical battles.
The two-player campaign game is played as a series of operations. Those operations reflect many of the two player scenarios, but now they are placed into the context of the full war at sea. It's 'best of five' playoff format. If one player wins the first three operations, the campaign has been decided early and the remaining two matches are cancelled. Historically, the campaign went the full five operations, with the Allies winning the game. You've got to manage your ships as sunk and damaged ships may not be available for future operations.
Did I say Atlantic Chase was like three games? Well yes, but that but that leaves out the secret bonus game – the advanced battle rules! Are you tired of the streamlined, generic rules from the standard game? Well good news, if you act now, Atlantic Chase includes a separate set of advanced battle rules that give detail and depth to your engagements. This adds in critical hits, damage control and different hits based on the attitude of the firing ship. It does not replace the basic combat rules, but it grafts on another layer of detail the battle experience.
Using the Advance Battle rules with the Rio Plate scenario.
Granted this detail comes at the cost of more time to resolve battles. But if you've gone to all that trouble to engineer a surface action, don't you want the richest, most detailed outcome you can get? When sharing the aftermath of the battle do you want the high-level summary 'sank to battleships, lost one battlecruiser' or are you looking for the narrative details of rudder, bridge hits and magazine critical hits. And if you don't want to slow down your big operational scenarios, these advanced battle rules are great for the micro-scenario tactical battles. The game includes the 'perfect' starter scenario for testing out the advanced rules – The Battle of the Rio Plate with the Graf Spee and the Exeter, Ajax and Achilles. In my first go, Ajax was damaged, Exeter suffered a magazine hit which was automatic damage, while Graf Spee suffered a bridge hit an armament hit, both of which were repaired, prior to successfully breaking off at the end of the battle. All in all, the game gave a fairly historical result!
In this day and age, it should be no surprise that there is a vassal module for the game. If you use Vassal, this will make finding an opponent easier, but again, you can still use it to play all those solitaire scenarios without the need to take over the dining room table.
The game gives players an excellent sense of the size of the Atlantic Ocean. When playing the campaign game, you'll recognize why the 'air gap' between North America and Great Britain was a hunting ground for the U-boats. It captures the difficulty in locating an enemy and bringing them to action. And the corollary to that is how the game demonstrates the value of not being seen.
Should you buy this game? My answer is an unqualified yes. Here is an innovative system that should be nominated for a Charles S. Roberts award. This is a game that will appeal to naval gamers as well as to solo gamers. But there's a bit of a rub. The game is out of stock at GMT. So, if you can find a copy from your local store or online merchant – grab it! But if you cannot find a copy and you want one – you'll need to back the game via GMT's P500 program. As of this writing, the game is over 70% to goal. Sign up today and help push the game towards being reprinted!
Atlantic Chase is engaging game which generates historically plausible actions and outcomes. It's an innovative system that has a lot of potential for expansion and modification. I could envision future games focused on the Mediterranean, the Pacific War or dare I suggest – either the Great War with its ability to generate a playable battle of Jutland or even a Napoleonic edition?
If this game were a movie, "Sink the Bismarck" would certainly an appropriate analogy given the multiple scenario and campaigns featuring her career. But from a campaign perspective, "The Cruel Sea" may be more apt as the campaign game – and many of the two-player operational scenarios – takes the long view of the war with a focus on the important role of the convoys in sustaining the United Kingdom's war effort.
Armchair General Score: 95 %
Solitaire suitability (1–5 scale, with 1 being virtually unplayable as a solitaire game and 5 being completely suitable for solitaire play): 5

The Shortlist For The 2020 International Booker Prize Announced
Books have one superior advantage over cinema. To select the best you don't need a festival: the virtual jury might read the books at home and announce their verdict. Therefore, the life goes on and The 2020 International Booker Prize is proud to present its shortlist.
Six finest translated fiction works from around the globe have been selected from the longlist, which subsequently has been derived from 124 entries:
The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree by Shokoofeh Azar (Farsi-Iran), translated by Anonymous, published by Europa Editions
The Adventures of China Iron by Gabriela Cabezón Cámara (Spanish-Argentina), translated by Iona Macintyre and Fiona Mackintosh, published by Charco Press
Tyll by Daniel Kehlmann (Germany-German), translated by Ross Benjamin, published by Quercus
Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor (Spanish-Mexico), translated by Sophie Hughes, Published by Fitzcarraldo Editions
The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa (Japanese-Japan), translated by Stephen Snyder, published by Harvill Secker
The Discomfort of Evening by Marieke Lucas Rijneveld (Dutch-Netherlands), translated by Michele Hutchison, published by Faber & Faber
According to Ted Hodgkinson, the chairman of the jury panel, "Each of our shortlisted books restlessly reinvents received narratives, from foundational myths to family folklore, plunging us into discomforting and elating encounters with selves in a state of transition. Whether capturing a deftly imagined dystopia or incandescent flows of language, these are tremendous feats of translation, which in these isolating times, represent the pinnacle of an art- form rooted in dialogue. Our shortlist transcends this unprecedented moment, immersing us in expansively imagined lives that hold enduring fascination."
The shortlisted novels were translated from Spanish, German, Dutch, Farsi and Japanese. Three of them - The Enlightenment of the Greengage Tree by Shokoofeh Azar, The Adventures of China Iron by Gabriela Cabezón Cámara and Tyll by Daniel Kehlmann - have been inspired by their nations' histories: the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, gaucho culture in 1870s Argentina, and the Thirty Years' War in Germany. Meanwhile the other three - Hurricane Season by Fernanda Melchor, The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa and The Discomfort of Evening by Marieke Lucas Rijneveld - all touch on how trauma, whether through violent acts or emotional loss, shape our experiences and approach to the world.
The International Booker Prize is awarded every year for a single book that is translated into English and published in the UK or Ireland. It aims to encourage more publishing and reading of quality fiction from all over the world and to promote the work of translators. Both novels and short-story collections are eligible.
Last year The International Booker Prize went to Celestial Bodies, written by Jokha Alharthi, translated by Marilyn Booth from Arabic.

Opinion Judge: SHARPNACK, SENIOR JUDGE.
Party Name: Michael Francis and Carmen Jay Francis, Appellants-Defendants, v. EMC Mortgage, LLC, Appellee-Plaintiff.
Attorney: Appellants Pro Se Michael Francis Carmen Jay Francis Indianapolis, Indiana. Attorneys for Appellee David J. Jurkiewicz Christina M. Bruno Bose McKinney & Evans LLP Indianapolis, Indiana.
Judge Panel: Crone, J., and Brown, J., concur.
Appeal from the Marion Superior Court Trial Court Cause No. 49D02-0706-MF-23133, The Honorable Timothy W. Oakes, Judge.
Appellants Pro Se Michael Francis Carmen Jay Francis Indianapolis, Indiana.
Attorneys for Appellee David J. Jurkiewicz Christina M. Bruno Bose McKinney & Evans LLP Indianapolis, Indiana.
[¶1] Michael and Carmen Francis (collectively the Francises) appeal the trial court's denial of their motion to correct error. We affirm.
[¶2] The Francises present three issues for our review, which we restate as one: whether the trial court erred by denying the Francises' motion to correct error.
[¶3] In 1994, the Francises executed a promissory note and a mortgage on their home. When the note matured in 2001, the Francises failed to satisfy the outstanding balance. In 2007, EMC Mortgage, LLC (EMC) filed suit to foreclose on the mortgage. The trial court entered a foreclosure judgment in February 2016, which the Francises appealed. This Court affirmed the trial court's judgment in a memorandum decision in April 2017, and our Supreme Court later denied transfer. See Francis v. EMC Mortg., LLC, No. 49A02-1604-MF-830 (Ind.Ct.App. Apr. 19, 2017), trans. denied.
[¶4] In addition, [t]he Francises filed bankruptcy proceedings and initiated an adversary proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Indiana seeking almost $200, 000 in damages from EMC Mortgage for an allegedly improper foreclosure. The Bankruptcy Court dismissed the adversary proceeding for lack of jurisdiction over a state foreclosure action. The Francises appealed the decision to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, and the bankruptcy court's decision was affirmed.
Francis v. Fannie Mae, et al., No. 18A-CT-8, slip op. at 2 (Ind.Ct.App. Nov. 26, 2018).
[¶5] In August 2017 in state court, the Francises filed a "Complaint for Lack of Standing to Foreclose, Fraud in the Concealment, Fraud in the Inducement, Unconscionable Contract, Breach of Contract, Breach of Fiduciary Duty, Quiet Title, Slander of Title, Temporary Restraining Order/Injunctive Relief and Jury Demand" against EMC and several other defendants. Id. In October, EMC and other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on grounds that the claims were barred under principles of res judicata. The trial court granted the motion to dismiss and ordered that the defendants be dismissed from the action with prejudice. The Francises then filed a motion to correct error, which was denied. The Francises appealed.
[¶6] In appealing the dismissal of their complaint and denial of their motion to correct error, the Francises argued that EMC could not participate in the action because it was "defunct" and not authorized to do business in Indiana. Concluding the Francises were barred by res judicata from raising these claims because they raised them in their prior appeal of the foreclosure judgment, a panel of this Court affirmed the dismissal of the Francises' complaint. See id.
[¶7] Meanwhile, in the underlying action in the trial court, defendant PNC Bank filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings in December 2017, also contending the Francises' claims were barred by res judicata. The trial court granted PNC's motion. The Francises filed with the Supreme Court a praecipe for withdrawal of the case, which the Court determined was unwarranted. The Francises then filed a motion to correct error in the trial court, which the trial court denied. The Francises appealed.
