ESSENTIAL INFORMATION TO PLAN YOUR VISIT TO YORK
How to get to York
Map of York (showing the must-visit places and eateries)
ENJOY YOUR VISIT TO YORK
The city of York lies at the heart of England's largest county, North Yorkshire.
The historic city has a rich cultural heritage enabling you to visit Roman, Viking, Medieval, Georgian and Victorian sites all in one day.
York is a vibrant city with regular festivals and events, world class restaurants and an estimated 365 pubs. It is an ideal destination as it is a small, compact city easily explored by foot.
The stunning York Minster dominates the city skyline; buildings inside York's city walls are not permitted to be taller than the famous Gothic cathedral. The ornate, stone carved cathedral was built between the 12th and 15th Century and is famous for its decorated nave and impressive stained-glass windows. The enormous Great East Window is the largest expanse of stained glass in the world.
Visit the beautifully decorated Chapter House containing the seats of the bishops of Yorkshire and the eerie, atmospheric basement Crypt. For a fantastic view of the city of York, tackle the challenging climb of the Minsters' central tower; a muscle burning 275 steps!
There are excellent daily tours available or you can explore York Minster independently. I would recommend allocating time to attend one of the daily services to hear the Minsters' incredible organ and choir.
York is encircled by medieval city walls which at two miles long are the longest city walls in England. The impressive stone walls are free to enter and walk and will give you a different perspective of the City of York.
The walls are free to enter and walk and can be accessed (or exited) from any of the four fortified medieval gateways called 'Bars'. You feel like you are stepping back in time climbing the enclosed, narrow stone steps to the walls. Two of the Bars contain small museums about Henry VII and Richard III.
Walking the walls is a great way to escape the crowds and bustle of the city centre and a full circuit takes around two hours to complete. My favourite section is the scenic stretch between Bootham Bar and Monk Bar which winds behind York Minster, providing fantastic photo opportunities.
York City Centre is predominantly pedestrianized and is perfect for a wander. The city centre is crisscrossed by narrow alleys (called ginnels in Yorkshire); take one and see where you pop out!
Walk past the black and white Tudor buildings on High Petergate to reach the boutique shops of stone flagged Stonegate; make sure you look up at the fantastic architecture of Stonegate.
Wander the cobbled back lanes of Swinegate and Low Petergate which will bring you to the entrance of the historic Shambles.
The Shambles has been voted 'Britain's Best Street' and is a short, narrow, cobbled street lined with tightly packed medieval era buildings. The lopsided buildings have overhanging first floors which makes The Shambles a dark and gloomy place! It is an atmospheric street and is said to have been the inspiration for Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter novels.
The cafes and artisan shops of The Shambles today were once the butcher's shops of medieval York and, if you look closely, you can still see the meat hooks hanging from the wooden window ledges.
A hidden gem on The Shambles, missed by many tourists, is the tiny chapel dedicated to York's' only saint, St Margaret Clitherow, who lived on The Shambles in the 16th Century.
York is packed with attractive historical buildings from different periods of history.
Tucked behind York Minster on the edge of pretty Deans Park is the stately Treasurer's House. In addition to exploring the house and its collections, you can also join a guided tour to the roof and the basement, allegedly one of the most haunted spots in York.
The current Lord Mayor of York lives in the early Georgian era Mansion House on St Helens Square in the centre of York. You can visit the state room, recreated Georgian bedrooms, dining room and kitchen.
Beautiful Fairfax House near Coppergate is my favourite historic house in York. This elegant townhouse is fully furnished as it would have been in the Georgian era. Informative and helpful volunteer guides gladly share their knowledge of the people who lived here and the stories behind the furniture and artwork.
In contrast to the highly decorated historic houses of York is the empty, round stone Clifford's Tower, the remnants of a Norman castle or 'keep'. The ancient tower sits on a small, artificial hill in a city centre car park!
Steep steps lead up to the open keep where storyboards depict what life was like in the Norman era. A further set of cramped stone steps lead to the escarpment which offers fantastic (but windy!) 360-degree views of York.
For a city with such a rich cultural heritage, it is no surprise that York offers a variety of excellent museums.
York Art Gallery
York Art Gallery is an impressive gallery housing a collection of paintings, drawings and sculptures (including ceramics) spanning the past five hundred years. The beautiful building itself is worth a visit as is its excellent cafe.
A few steps from York Art Gallery is an original section of a Roman Wall, often overlooked by passing visitors.
Jorvik Viking Centre
One of York's' most popular tourist attractions, Jorvik Viking Centre showcases Viking artefacts found during a four-year dig on this site. The museum visit culminates with a 'taxi cab' ride through a life size Viking settlement which evokes the sights, sounds and smells of the Viking era.
The National Railway Museum
A favourite of York residents, the free to enter National Railway Museum is an enormous and comprehensive museum displaying full size trains and carriages from different historical eras.
You can get up close to Stevenson's iconic 'Rocket', see a cross section of the Channel Tunnel and sit in a Shinkansen carriage.
Admire the luxury of The Royal Train and watch skilled restorers at work in the workshop. Visit the outdoor balcony where you can reenact 'The Railway Children' by waving to the trains entering and leaving York Railway Station.
Barley Hall
Located down a ginnel off Stonegate, the restored medieval townhouse Barley Hall displays exhibits about life in the medieval era including a banqueting hall set up for a feast.
York Castle Museum
The brilliant York Castle Museum is my favourite museum in York. The varied exhibits depict York life from different eras. You can crawl through a World War One trench, visit the swinging Sixties or wander in and out of the shops of the full size, cobbled Victorian Street, Kirkgate, for which this museum is famous.
The Castle Museum was once the courthouse and prison for York and you can visit the eerie cells where imaginative holograms tell you the tragic story of the individuals who were once imprisoned here, including the infamous highwayman, Dick Turpin.
Though York is a small city, it has a number of free to access, green city centre spaces. In the gorgeous landscaped Museum Gardens are the ruins of the 11th Century St Mary's Abbey, the 15th Century building, The Hospitium, and the 19th Century Yorkshire Museum.
Don't miss the partially hidden Multiangular Tower, the impressive remains of the 4th Century Roman fortress fortifications that stood on this site.
The River Ouse runs through the centre of York and is a popular location for locals to walk, cycle and run. You can stroll up or down river, cross over a bridge and return the other side. The river is not fenced off so do not get too close to the edge!
Take a short sightseeing boat trip on The Ouse or you can even hire your own 'Little Red Boat,' available to hire by the hour.
York is packed with great restaurants, independent cafes and pubs.
For a cup of Yorkshire Tea and a Fat Rascal (a sultana and cherry Yorkshire cake), visit the iconic Bettys Tea Rooms. Enjoy your tea in fine china served by bow tied waiters, usually accompanied by a grand piano. Bettys is a York institution and though you may have to queue to get in, it will be worth it!
For a pint with a twist, visit the Roman Baths Pub where after your pint or dinner, you can descend into the basement to see the remains of a Roman bathhouse.
You are spoilt for choice if you like dinner with a great view. The Judges Lodgings, a Georgian era house, now a hotel and restaurant, has a superb view of York Minster from its rooftop lounge. On a sunny day, the view of the Minster from the pretty garden of the Lamb and Lion Pub is stunning.
However, for my favourite view of York, head to the top floor of the craft beer pub, The Market Cat on Newgate Market. The large windows of The Market Cat frame the Minster in its entirety as well as the undulating rooftops of the historic Shambles.
For something completely different, cosy up and share a long bench with other diners at the medieval ale house, The House of Trembling Madness. Located above a craft beer shop on Stonegate, this award-winning pub unique and is well worth a visit.
York has excellent air, rail and road links. The international Leeds Bradford airport is a one-hour drive from York city centre. London is just two hours away by train and Edinburgh is three hours by train and together, they make York an ideal stopover on a journey from London to Scotland.
Check out the trainline for prices and time of trains to York.

Q: test_ids gem allow for bin grouping based on test metadata? Is there a way for the test_ids gem to group tests such that the same softbin gets assigned?  For example, here are 3 tests passed in the flow file:
func :test1, speed: 1000, vdd: :vmin
func :test2, speed: 1200, vdd: :vmin
func :test3, speed: 1000, vdd: :vmax

Would like to be able to tell test_ids gem to group by :vdd and get the following softbins assigned (assume the range is 200-299):
200, func_vmin
201, func_vmax

If I passed speed as the grouping arg I would get the following softbins:
200, func_1000
201, func_1200

The examples shown above only pass one piece of metadata but the ask would be that any combination of test metadata could be used to create the softbin group name.
thx

A: With no special options, the test IDs plugin will use the test name as a unique ID. In that case, tests with different names will be assigned different test numbers, bins and softbins, while tests with the same name will use the same numbers.
Sometimes, like in this case, it is desired for differently named tests to share all or some of their number allocations, and there are a few options available to control this.
Firstly, you can supply a test_id: option, this explicitly defines the ID that should be used for the test when assigning numbers, now your tests will all have the same test numbers, bins and softbins:
func :test1, speed: 1000, vdd: :vmin, test_id: :t1
func :test2, speed: 1200, vdd: :vmin, test_id: :t1
func :test3, speed: 1000, vdd: :vmax, test_id: :t1

This can be further fine-tuned by supplying number:, bin: and/or softbin: options with symbol values and these will be used as the test ID when assigning that specific number type.
For example, this will assign the softbin as you want based on vdd:
func :test1, speed: 1000, vdd: :vmin, softbin: :func_vmin
func :test2, speed: 1200, vdd: :vmin, softbin: :func_vmin
func :test3, speed: 1000, vdd: :vmax, softbin: :func_vmax

This is covered in the docs here - https://origen-sdk.org/test_ids/#Multiple_Instances_of_the_Same_Test
Use your test program interface to programatically assign the IDs based on your business rules, for example in your func method:
def func(name, options)
  options[:softbin] = "func_#{options[:vdd] || :nom}".to_sym
  # ...
end

It is recommended to have all of your test handlers like this func method handover to a single method to add the test to the flow - https://origen-sdk.org/origen//guides/program/interface/#Detecting_Changes_in_the_Execution_Context
That would then give you a single place to implement more global rules like using vdd. vs. speed to group by.
For example, if you wanted to group by the test type and then speed, you could do something like:
def func(name, options)
  options[:softbin] = "func"
  # ...
  add_to_flow(my_test, options)
end

def add_to_flow(test, options)
  if group_by_speed?
    options[:softbin] = "#{options[:softbin]_#{options[:speed] || 1000}".to_sym
  else
    options[:softbin] = "#{options[:softbin]_#{options[:vdd] || :nom}".to_sym
  end
  # ...
end

2020 BMW M8 Convertible Is One Of The Fastest Cars I Have Ever Driven
By William ClaveySeptember 27, 2020BMW
My profession brings with it some fine and rapid automobiles. I've driven all kinds of fast machines in my life, ranging from supercars to fire-breathing muscle cars. Fast has now become my weekly routine, so much so, that it takes a lot to impress me now. And then, there's the 2020 BMW M8 Competition: arguably one of the fastest automobiles I have ever driven.
Grand Touring – Super!
You guys probably remember the BMW 8-Series I drove last year; that V8-powered German grand tourer that did a fantastic job of carrying my ass comfortably through the countryside at near supercar speeds, but also kind of failed at making a good impression on me. It was stupid quick, luxurious and tried really hard to be two cars at once, but somehow didn't really capture the essence of its predecessor. I was hoping the 2020 BMW M8 would fix that. It did, until it didn't. The M8 carries with it all of the 8-Series' qualities, but also its flaws, meaning it's way too subtle to chill in the coveted luxury grand touring space. And it's far too girthy to be considered an actual supercar. This is basically a very large and very fast BMW coupe or convertible. My drop-top tester, painted in BMW's Verde Mantis optional hue, sure gave this M8 the road presence it deserves, attracting a few eyeballs along the way and having quite a few passerby ask questions. Except, when I'd tell people it stickers for $190,000, many asked why it's priced like an Aston Martin Vantage. The problem with the 2020 BMW M8 is that it simply doesn't look like a rare expensive car, but rather some other wide German sports car. But what this BMW misses in downright flamboyance and exclusivity, it makes up for it through its fanatical attention to mechanical efficiency, ergonomics and downright common sense. In other words, it's a grand tourer only the Bavarians could have developed. The 2020 BMW M8 takes the standard M850i recipe and adds more salt, more sugar, more sprinkles and more, well everything, to bring the taste index up to 11. The engine, BMW's exquisite twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8, is cranked up to 600 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. In Competition form – the car you see here – you gain an extra 17 horsepower, because why not? The car's entire chassis was retuned by BMW's M magicians, while carbon ceramic brakes make sure to bring this 4,200-lb behemoth to a stop when it's plowing down the Autobahn at bullet train speeds. Perhaps more impressive are the numbers this M8 will deliver, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in an astonishing 3.2 seconds, completing the standing quarter mile in about 11 seconds and continue on full boil up to a governor-limited top speed of 304 km/h. These numbers aren't very far from a Lamborghini Huracan Evo, by the way.
The 2020 BMW M8 delivers its performance in such a brutal and efficient manner, that it'll immediately instill in you a God complex that very little automobiles can achieve. Set in Sport+ mode, activate launch control, and the M8 grips its rubber claws into the tarmac, launching forward with more urgency than a roller coaster. This car makes you feel invincible as the landscape charges at you quicker than a parachute drop. And it's not just the Tesla-rivalling acceleration that'll squeeze your internal organs to the edges of their sockets that commands respect, but the way the M8 continues to pick up speed as though a rocket was bolted onto its trunk. There's power and torque all the time, no matter at what speed you're going at. And the eight-speed ZF-sourced automatic gearbox performs as expected, meaning it's always ready to serve you the gear you need, shuffles through cogs within milliseconds and knows when to calm down when you're done hooning the machine. While not as flamboyant as the top grand tourers currently on sale, the 2020 BMW M8 sure does a fantastic job of carrying two occupants in ultimate comfort. I say two, because while yes, there is a seat back there, it's mostly fit for large bags or very small children. The M8's cabin is also a clean, modern, if not a tad too spartan area, with impeccable build quality and cool design cues like the quilted leather seats and brushed aluminum center console. Like the other M cars in BMW's portfolio or even some performance SUVs like the BMW X3 M, the M8 inherits two M-configurable red buttons on its steering wheel, allowing its driver to configure their favorite M setting according to their personal preferences. And the possibilities are rather vast, with adjustments for suspension, steering, transmission and throttle response. The M8 can go as far as disengage its front axle in order to become a rear-wheel driven car. I had the M1 button programmed for rear-wheel-drive, and M2 for all-wheel-drive. The M8's ergonomics are also BMW-exquisite, especially the iDrive infotainment system, which remains downright one of the best systems currently on sale due to its clean interface, quick-reacting touch controls and easy to manipulate central rotary knob dial. The M8 has one of the best seating positions in the business, incredibly comfortable seats and a soft top that folds flat between the cockpit and the trunk within seconds. With ergonomics this solid, I need to ask: why are the configurable drive modes so complicated? Because while I adored configuring the car to my fancy, finding the ideal setup had me spending several minutes fiddling through the car's menus. BMW gives you three different gauge pods to choose from, and the most extreme Track setting will even turn off the infotainment system. I mean, why? Is this even necessary in for an automobile that was originally conceived for cross-country motoring? The 2020 BMW M8 doesn't quite match its ancestor's on-road presence. That pop-up headlight wedge that took the entire world by surprise in the early 1990's is still a more special automobile than this. And honestly, there isn't enough of a performance difference between this and an M850i to justify the price gap. Does the luxury grand tourer segment even need two versions of an 8-Series? Perhaps only this spectacular M8 will suffice, as very few cars make 617 horsepower feel like a walk in the park on a Tuesday morning quite like this BMW.

A fantastic grand tourer
Not as flamboyant as main rivals
Complication in drive settings
Too similar to an M850i

Attention, ninth graders: John Houston MA '03 has an eye on you. He's watching your test scores. Your grade history and current grades. Your attendance. And he's definitely watching whether you missed any assignments.
"Missing assignments is a huge one for us," says Houston, an academic intervention specialist employed by Ingraham High School in Seattle. Houston works with a team of "student support specialists," looking at these factors with the goal of getting ninth-graders to pass all their core classes. The specialists are future school counselors, studying in Seattle Pacific University's School of Education. They're also hired through University Tutors for Seattle Schools, a nonprofit founded and directed by SPU Professor of Education Greg Fritzberg.
Created to fill a need in public schools, UTSS is just one of many community organizations across the nation that are stepping in where public schools are lacking either funding or resources to provide intensive support to struggling students.
At Denny Middle School, SPU student Olivia Birk talks a student through a math assignment. Birk is employed by University Tutors for Seattle Schools.
"Assisting these students as they dream about and prepare for college is UTSS' mission," Fritzberg says.
During the 2013–14 school year, UTSS will provide about 20,000 hours of academic help to Seattle public school students. Meanwhile, the 65 university students employed as tutors gain income and job experience while pursuing their own education. Funds from the City of Seattle, Seattle Public Schools, and the state of Washington support the program.
Fritzberg sees this arrangement as beneficial for everyone: Students get help in core subjects. Tutors get a paid job with valuable experience.
The student support specialists also venture outside the classroom, making home visits to families of ninth graders, trying to get family members involved in supporting the students' education.
But quality education requires more than an investment from individual parents and teachers, emphasizes Maridada. It requires the commitment of an entire community.
One of his strategies for turning around troubled schools and districts: build as many partnerships as possible. For instance, when Maridada was superintendent of a Detroit-area school district, he partnered with local colleges in both districts to create an early college program in which high school students could earn an associate's degree by the time they graduated from high school. In Pontiac, his team created partnerships with — among other institutions — the Detroit Symphony, Detroit Zoological Society, and the Cranbrook Institute of Science, a natural history museum.
"Many of our parents, even though they lived maybe 5 miles away from Cranbrook, they didn't think that Cranbrook was for them, so their children hadn't been exposed," Maridada says. Parents were given free museum memberships, and the museum gave hands-on classes to students one day a week.
Now, as director of national education policy, practice, and strategic initiatives at the Children's Defense Fund in Washington, D.C., Maridada focuses on "scaled-up" innovation at the federal level, supporting CDF programs such as Freedom Schools, a summer learning program that brings public school students together with universities, churches, and other organizations.
Thomas Maridada of the Children's Defense Fund encourages listeners at SPU's Day of Common Learning to get involved with helping youth.
While partnerships between faith-based organizations and public schools may sound unlikely, they can thrive if partners are willing to put common goals first.
Laura Wright '09 coordinates the Homework Center at Rainier Beach High School, which serves an average of 45 students daily, and she coordinates six UTSS tutors. Though she is employed by Urban Impact, a multi-church-supported ministry that has been in Seattle's Rainier Valley for 25 years, Wright spends nearly all her time at the high school.
Because Urban Impact is structured around reconciliation advocate John Perkins' ideas about Christian community development, the ministry looks for community assets rather than problems that need to be fixed. "The schools we work in really trust our presence," she says. Nearly 190 students have accessed Homework Center at least once over the past two months, and 60 percent of the school population was served last year.
"We want all of our programming to be youth-led," Wright says. And by letting youth take the lead, other opportunities for service have emerged. The attendance campaign made students aware that some of their classmates were having trouble finding transportation to school, so they went to advocate before the Seattle School Board for better transit.
This is the kind of model Owen Sallee '99, EdD '06, of SPU's John Perkins Center hopes that Seattle Pacific students will learn as they serve as community partners, volunteering at Urban Impact and other locations around the city and developing relationships with youth.
UTSS tutor Sierrah OldenKamp listens alongside students in the math classroom at Denny Middle School.
Sallee, who coordinates SPU's Urban Involvement program, first connected with Urban Involvement as a student volunteer with a church youth program that's now known as Union Gospel Mission's White Center Remix.


There is growing recognition among state policymakers that improving health outcomes is as much about addressing the social determinants of poor health as it is about providing high-quality medical care. Accountable care collaboratives, including Medicaid accountable care organizations (ACOs) or other ACO-like models, offer prime opportunities for states to meld population health and payment and delivery system reforms. The paper was commissioned by the Milbank Memorial Fund-supported Reforming States Group, a bipartisan, voluntary group of state health policy leaders from both the executive and legislative branches who, with a small group of international colleagues, work on practical solutions to pressing problems in health care.
This issue brief, "Population Health in Medicaid Delivery System Reforms," focuses on strategies that inform ACO design and governance structures, program components, metrics, and information-sharing mechanisms—and it includes some promising early examples of states working to embed population health strategies in Medicaid ACOs.

Asahi Shimbun newspaper calls for Japanese Government to cancel Olympics
Asahi Shimbun has called for Tokyo 2020 to be cancelled ©Getty Images
Japan's Asahi Shimbun newspaper has called for the cancellation of Tokyo 2020 in an editorial, citing the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Tokyo 2020 sponsor said the spread of COVID-19 has not stopped and that an extension of the state of emergency in the host city is "inevitable".
The newspaper published the editorial with the headline "We Demand PM Suga Decide Cancellation".
"We don't think it makes sense to hold the Olympics and Paralympics in Tokyo this summer," the editorial read.
"The distrust and opposition to the rushing Government, capital and Olympic officials is only widespread, without trying to address people's natural questions and concerns.
"We urge Prime Minister Suga to calmly and objectively assess the surrounding situation and decide to cancel the event this summer."
Tokyo is among 10 areas in Japan currently under state of emergency measures, which are aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19.
The measures are currently scheduled to end on May 31.
International Olympic Committee (IOC) vice-president John Coates was last week questioned over whether the Games could take place during a state of emergency.
Coates, citing recent test events held during the measures in Tokyo, replied by saying "absolutely, yes".
The comment has received criticism in Japan and was highlighted by Asahi Shimbun.
"It is not just a matter of successfully completing the competition," the newspaper said.
"The gap with the people's senses is clear, and the appearance of saying 'yes' without showing a clear basis once again impressed the IOC's self-righteous constitution.
"Considering the many people who have made various preparations, including athletes, who have made efforts toward the goal of the Olympics, of course we would like to avoid cancelling.
"But the most important thing is the life of the citizens, and to maintain the foundation that supports and establishes their daily lives.
"Don't let the Olympics threaten it."
Asahi Shimbun has criticised John Coates' comment that Tokyo 2020 could be held during a state of emergency ©Getty Images
Asahi Shimbun is a left-leaning daily newspaper, which has often been critical of Yoshihide Suga's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
The Japanese Government has repeatedly said that the Games will be held, a message stressed again by Kozo Yamamoto, the head of the LDP's financial research committee.
"Japan will hold the Games," Yamamoto told Reuters.
"Holding the Games as scheduled is good for the economy."
The IOC has expressed confidence the Games will take place as planned.
IOC President Thomas Bach recently claimed that more than 80 per cent of people in the Athletes' Village would be vaccinated.
Coates, chair of the Tokyo 2020 Coordination Commission, also claimed that it was now "clearer than ever" the Games would be safe for everyone participating, as well as the general public in Japan.
Tokyo 2020 President Seiko Hashimoto said last week that the number of Games participants from abroad had been reduced to 59,000, compared to the expected 180,000 from last year.
These will include 23,000 Games-related officials, including from the IOC and International Federations.
Olympic Broadcast Services representatives and rightsholders will account for 17,000 people during the Olympics, with 6,000 members of the media expected.
Around 19,000 people are expected for the Paralympic Games, including 9,000 officials, 4,000 for broadcast and 2,000 for media.
The US State Department issued an advisory and guidance against visiting Japan earlier this week, citing high risk, but did not mention the Olympics and Paralympics specifically.
No additional entry restrictions have been implemented for travel to Japan or travel from the country to the United States.
Travellers to the US must present a negative COVID-19 test taken within three days of their flight.
Tokyo reported 542 new COVID-19 cases yesterday, with the capital's average for the past week reported as being 611.
A drop was reported in the number of cases nationwide, with 3,918 recorded, giving a seven-day average of 4,644.
This marks a drop from earlier this month, when more than 6,000 cases were reported on May 14.

What If You Could Travel Like Your Favorite Celebrity?
When supermodel Gigi Hadid took to Instagram last year to announce that she's a founding member of Velocity Black, her followers flocked to the company's page to figure out what it was all about. Now, with a new year and lofty goals ahead, Velocity Black's co-founder and CEO Zia Yusuf is ready to bring the exclusivity of the app to adventurous young professionals around the world.
Velocity Black is the brainchild of Yusuf, who says the service came about from customer demand. In 2014, Yusuf launched an app, Velocity, which allowed fine diners to pay for their meals ahead of time. Over time his enterprise grew, eventually becoming Velocity Black, an app that deals not only with fine dining, but with luxury experiences as a whole. Velocity Black capitalizes on the idea that we can curate our own lives, both on social media and through the conveniences that are a natural consequence of technological advancements.
For the price of an annual Velocity Black membership, the thinking goes, it's possible to have everything from a local restaurant reservation to an adventure in a popular travel destination booked through the app.
You can enjoy a helicopter ride that gives you 360 views of New York City and its major landmarks, or ride in a fighter jet to the literal edge of space. The hope is to provide luxury, adventure, and lifestyle all in one.
Commodifying "experience" isn't quite revolutionary. Airbnb, Vayable, and travel groups like TravelNoire all do that. What sets Velocity Black apart, Yusuf says, is that it offers both luxury and personalization—from the app-provided car service equipped with personalized iPads on each seat to the cuisine available at the restaurant.
Here, Yusuf discusses what prompted the creation of Velocity Black, as well as what the most fulfilling part of his journey with the growing company has been.
Culture Trip: How would you describe the Velocity Black service in your own words? What can members expect to get out of it?
Zia Yusuf: Simply the most advanced lifestyle service in the world. Velocity Black is the effortless way to get the most out of life in the digital age. Our app is an instant doorway to a world of extraordinary experiences, tailored specifically for you, and available at your fingertips via an app that delivers 24/7, on-demand, personalized service.
CT: What prompted you to start Velocity Black? Was there a single "aha" moment that made you want to transition from fine dining to lifestyle?
ZY: Velocity Black existed in our customers' heads before it existed for real. We had customers who loved how the app curated and simplified their entire dining experience, and asked if we could do the same for travel, events, in fact all aspects of their lives.
CT: A lot of what we see on the app and website shows these sort of once-in-a-lifetime adventure experiences. Do you offer any culturally immersive experiences as well?
ZY: Absolutely. [The app] is a doorway to on-demand, culturally immersive experiences, too. We have experts who curate and deliver just that. In real-time. From exploring the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza to visiting the Maharaja palaces in India. Angkor Wat in Cambodia is a favorite of our members, too.
CT: Have you tested many of the Velocity Black experiences yourself? If so, what is your favorite?
ZY: I am fortunate to have gotten to try some incredible experiences. It's hard to choose. We are always seeking that next adventure, but the best so far has been swimming with Orca whales in the Fjords of Norway. A mesmerizing experience, and one that turns borderline spiritual when you hear them sing to each other underwater.
CT: I see that some of your more public memberships include celebrities and influencers. Can the everyday person enjoy the perks of membership, too?
ZY: Absolutely. The membership is for anyone who loves to travel, believes meaningful experiences can drive a lot of happiness, and those who value their time. Our members come from all over the world. We have delivered in over 50 countries already, and from all sorts of fields, from entertainment to technology to finance.
CT: I know the service already has thousands of members. Where do you hope to see Velocity Black in December 2018? What does the future of the app look like?
ZY: Velocity Black is growing rapidly, and the experience is only getting better. Soon the ecosystem will grow. You will be able to access [the app] from your car, in your home, as well in the palm of your hand. Travel is our fastest-growing area, and as our members keep finding out, the level of seamlessness and quality of inspiration is peerless. We plan to formally launch across the Middle East and Asia in Q1.
CT: What has been the most challenging part of your journey with Velocity Black?
ZY: The most challenging aspect has been curating the right team. A team of experts from the worlds of travel, luxury, entertainment, and of course technology.
CT: What has been the most fulfilling part?
ZY: That's easy. We bring joy into people's lives, and enrich our customers' lives, one memory at a time. The feedback we get from customers is fantastic, and for us there is no bigger fulfilment than that.

"Delicate golden-pink color in the glass. Really magnetic nose showing aromas of strawberry, spice garrigue, brioche and floral goodness. A highly distinctive rosé, with flavors of strawberry, white peach, melon, and hints of caramel and goodness.. Creamy in the mouth with an excellent finishing grip of acidity"
"Classic is a pretty good description of this wine. It's meaty, firm, muscular and loaded with ripe blackberry and black-cherry fruit. The ripe ample tannins support that compact strength, and it has the balance and structure to cellar for the next decade. Drink 2020–2030."
"This barrel selection is still tight and tannic, with compact, yet substantial cranberry, raspberry and pie-cherry fruit. It's got muscle and depth, and opens up nicely with aeration, displaying ripe and polished tannins through a long finish."
"The 2015 Holocene 'Memorialis' Pinot Noir is a fantastic project by superstar winemaker Todd Alexander, of Force Majeure. The wine is a 200 case production Oregon Pinot which was sourced from the MonksGate vineyard located outside of Carlton in the Willamette Valley. The vineyard is west facing and has marine sedimentary soils. The wine begins with aromas of red raspberry, forest floor, anise and spicebox with red cherry. The wine has flavors of red cherry, red raspberry, cremini mushroom and bright acidity. This has a saline aspect with nice minerality, as this will age gracefully into the next decade. (Best 2016-2026)"
"One of the highlight discoveries during 2014 has been this small family operation in Carlton, Ore. Their vineyard serves as a gateway for monks at the Trappist Abbey, which defines the name behind the label, and the work of winemaker Laurent Montalieu with estate clone C12 fruit — harvested Sept. 20 — helps explain the quality in the bottle. There's been a growing buzz from Oregon about serious Riesling, and here's another exciting bone-dry example that deserves to be in the discussion. It opens with fascinating floral notes of Juicy Fruit gum, white peach, Honeycrisp apple and lime, backed by a whiff of petrol. Its piercing acidity creates a narrow focus of limeade, Granny Smith apple and spearmint, finished with petrol and Maraschino cherry."
"In 1998, the Moore family began to develop their 50 acres of farm near the emerging wine destination of Carlton, Ore., and their neighbors are the monks at Trappist Abbey. A gate the Moores built allows abbey workers the farm access they enjoyed before vines were planted. Hence, the name of this winery. One of Oregon's top vintners, Laurent Montalieu, works on the estate program for the Moores, and this bottling from Pommard (83%) and 777 clones shows elegance. Minimal new French oak allows for aromas of cherry juice, ripe raspberry and dusty Bing cherry with a scrape of vanilla bean and cocoa powder. There's a fascinating texture to the drink of ripe raspberries and cherries, which is smooth, juicy, balanced and capped by milk chocolate."

Turn and face the [change]: Victim Interviewing Techniques
This workshop will educate first responders, investigators, and practitioners to:
Recognize the impact of trauma on victims of sexual assault
Employ best practices during interviews to obtain quality information from victims of sexual assault
Explore how bias and prejudice unknowingly make their way into our interactions with victims/survivors
Examine the impact myths, misconceptions, and misperceptions have on a real-life case
In the ever-changing landscape of sexual assault both statewide and nationally, societal expectations are high that offenders are held responsible for their crimes and victims of sexual assault are believed. In the era of the "Me Too" movement and "Not Alone," communities are under pressure to provide the same expert level of service and skill to the crime of sexual assault that they do to other violent crimes. Law enforcement is being held to these standards in all facets of the investigation — from first response through prosecution.
As we learn more about the complexity of the crime of sexual assault, we must change the way we respond to victims/survivors of sexual assault. It is no longer acceptable to conduct investigations with "just the facts ma'am." We now know that trauma plays a critical role in how victims/survivors of rape respond, react, and recall.
This workshop will review best practices for conducting trauma-informed interviews as well as the incredible impact that myths, misconceptions, and misperceptions play in hindering investigations and prosecutions. These three M's can adversely influence an investigation and negatively impact the ability of those doing the work.

Transforming Sexual Assault Services for Survivors with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
Increase understanding of societal ableism and how it contributes to a higher risk for sexual violence and increased barriers to accessing support services for sexual assault survivors with intellectual and developmental disabilities
Identify strategies for increasing access to healing services for sexual assault survivors with IDD
Explore public policy proposals that could improve access to victim services for sexual assault survivors with disabilities
It's fairly well established that sexual assault survivors with disabilities experience ableism and multiple barriers when seeking services and healing supports following sexual assault/abuse/exploitation ("Abused and Betrayed" Series, National Public Radio, 2018). These risks and barriers to services are particularly high for sexual assault survivors with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
Session participants will be invited to join the conversation and efforts as a community of advocates and sexual assault professionals to transform sexual violence services available to survivors with IDD. We will define and discuss the impacts and contributions of ableism on the societal oppression of people with disabilities and how it increases the risks of sexual assault/exploitation especially for youth and adults with IDD.
During this session, we will also discuss: 1.) Barriers experienced by survivors with IDD in gaining access to healing services following a sexual assault, and 2.) Why this population is so very underserved overall by the anti-sexual violence movement(s). Participants will brainstorm ways that we can increase access to survivors with IDD—including public policy changes that would improve the experience of sexual assault survivors with disabilities. Participants will leave this session more informed about the needs, barriers, and ways they can be part of the movements to reduce risks for violence and better serve sexual violence survivors with IDD.

Title IX: Responding to Sexual Misconduct on Campus
As a result of this session, participants will be better able to:
Define Title IX and describe requirements of universities under the law
Identify similarities and differences between the Title IX process and criminal process
Understand the relationship between the University of Texas Police Department and the University of Texas at Austin Title IX when responding to sexual assault
Recognize the role campus support when working with student survivors
Title IX is the federal law prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity. Title IX guidelines have expanded to require universities to prevent and respond to all forms of sex discrimination including sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexual misconduct, interpersonal violence (including dating and domestic violence), and stalking.
This workshop will discuss how the Title IX Office and the University of Texas at Austin have implemented services to respond to reports of sexual misconduct, and provide support to those impacted. It will specifically focus on the unique issues that arise within the University setting, as well as how UT-Austin and UTPD have worked together to create a holistic, victim-centered response to sexual assault.

Civil Legal Options for Survivors
Victims of sexual assault experience immediate and long-lasting impacts from the crime. Their ability to endure participating in the criminal justice system is supported when these collateral impacts are addressed through advocacy in a variety of ways: lease terminations, employment, Title IX and education, protective orders and other family law matters, and criminal justice advocacy. This session will provide an overview of the ways advocacy in civil legal matters can support survivors of sexual assault.

Coming February 14: Monkey and the G.O.A.T. by Jennifer Carole Lewis!
Rather than becoming the Greatest Of All Time, goat shifter William Svenson is on the verge of flunking out of FUC's Newbie Academy. He's got one last chance to make it right and it sounds so simple: pick up a fugitive shifter from Bogota, Columbia and bring them back to the Academy.
But life as a FUC agent is never simple. Especially not when it turns out that the fugitive is Jasmine, the monkey shifter who captured his heart when they were both still teenagers.
As the two of them run for their lives from a drug cartel, it becomes clear that William isn't the only one who is feeling the spark reignite. Jasmine might not trust FUC, but she isn't immune to the hot bearded guy with the arms of a blacksmith who provided her very first orgasm. She needs to keep her head clear if she's going to hang on to the data she stole from the cartel in order to protect her cousin. A decade of life on the run has taught her never to rely on anyone else, especially not the authorities.
The Academy never prepared William for this. There's no class on How To Balance Your FUC Career With Restarting A Romance With Your Ex-Girlfriend. There's only a hard choice between his career and his heart.
Monkey and the G.O.A.T by Jennifer Carol Lewis is an EveL Worlds paranormal romantic comedy set in Eve Langlais' Furry United Coalition (F.U.C.) World and will be available on all platforms February 14!

Q: Braintree DropIn + Apple Pay, doesn't appears Apple Pay item I successfully call DropIn view from Braintree SDK. The BTDropInRequest settings should display three items:

*

*PayPal

*Credit Cards

*Apple Pay

But for some reason in DropIn view renders only two items instead of three:

*

*PayPal

*Credit Cards

What I did wrong?
Preparation:

*

*All certificates are created and uploaded

*Apple Pay is enabled on the project capabilities

*Merchant ID is added

*The device on which I do testing is supported Apple Pay

Here is a code of method which does request:
func showDropIn(clientTokenOrTokenizationKey: String) {

        BTUIKAppearance.darkTheme()
        let request = BTDropInRequest()
        let canMakePayments = PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController.canMakePayments() && PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController.canMakePayments(usingNetworks: [.amex, .visa, .masterCard])
        request.applePayDisabled = !canMakePayments
        request.cardDisabled = false

        let dropIn = BTDropInController.init(authorization: clientTokenOrTokenizationKey, request: request) { (controller, result, error) in

            if (error != nil) {
                print("ERROR")
            } else if (result?.isCancelled == true) {
                print("CANCELLED")

            } else if let result = result{

                switch result.paymentOptionType {
                case .applePay ,.payPal,.masterCard,.discover,.visa:

                    if let paymentMethod = result.paymentMethod {

                        controller.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
                    } else {

                        controller.dismiss(animated: true, completion: {

                            self.braintreeClient = BTAPIClient(authorization: clientTokenOrTokenizationKey)

                            let paymentRequest = self.paymentRequest()

                            if let vc = PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController(paymentRequest: paymentRequest)
                                as PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController?
                            {

                                self.present(vc, animated: true, completion: nil)
                            } else {
                                print("Error: Payment request is invalid.")
                            }

                        })
                    }

                default:
                    print("error")
                    controller.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
                }
            }
        }

        self.present(dropIn!, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }

A: Base on a document from Braintree, you should complete the Apple Pay integration and the customer's device and card type are supported.
https://developers.braintreepayments.com/guides/drop-in/setup-and-integration/ios/v4#apple-pay
Also, take note at this point

If using a client token with a customer id, the Apple Pay card will
  not automatically be vaulted. You can use the payment method nonce to
  create a payment method on your server.

We've got mail…. from Disney!
Back in December, along with all our holiday lessons, Pre-K4 109 learned all about sending Christmas cards and the mail/post system. In doing so, we all were able to write a Christmas card to our favorite Disney friends. We decided what to write to them, sent them our best holiday wishes, put it in an envelope, stamped it and sent it off. We were very surprised to find that this week we got a letter back from them! We even got post cards for each of us to take home! It truly was a great way to start our day filled with lots of Disney magic!
Terrific Tuesday: sight word worksheet and addition worksheet.
Wonderful Wednesday: sight word worksheet and counting worksheet.
*Tomorrow is library. Please bring in your book if you would like to borrow a new one.
*Tomorrow is also our 100th day of school! Congratulations to all my smart cookies in class!
Thoughtful Thursday: mid winter break packet, due when we return to school.
*School is closed tomorrow, due to Professional Development for teachers and then next week for recess. Have a wonderful week off! I'll see you the 25th!
Since February is National Dental Health month, this week Pre-k4 109 learned all about how to keep our teeth healthy. We were able to practice proper brushing by painting with toothbrushes, work on our numbers by playing a fun marshmallow tooth game and even got a visit from fun pediatric dentist Dr. John! With all we learned this week we know our teeth are going to always be happy, healthy, and keep us smiling very bright!
*Library is tomorrow. Please return your book if you would like to borrow a new one.
*Please wear sneakers for gym tomorrow.
*There is no show and tell tomorrow due to rescheduled First Friday Mass and gym class.
Fun Friday: Have an amazing weekend!


Today, I had the privilege of interviewing Diane Corriette from the Womens Internetwork Marketing Alliance. Diane had so much to share with us. Please listen to the PodCast and enjoy the interview.
Diane Corriette is a mother of 3 living in London England who has been self employed for the last 11 years. Two and a half years ago a back injury meant she could not work, which meant no income. Her insurance company refused to pay out and Diane was left wondering how to create an income for herself. A CD on making money online was the thing that started her career and she has spent the last two and a half years developing her business with the help of mentors. Now she runs the women internet marketers alliance, a trio of businesses established to support women who market their business online. Her aim is to raise the online visibility of women using an online magazine and provide women marketers with a space to learn, share, connect and network.
A membership site to help develop your online business. Diane mentioned that the membership component is currently undergoing review and will be revamped in the near future.
In addition to these three fantastic sites, Diane is also promoting a month of events for women to show case their talents. Known as "Women Internet Marketers – Got Talent", women from all over the world have registered to conduct free events to show case their abilities. To support these women, Diane is conducting the promotional activities to help these women generate attendees. A wonderful endeavour.
These events are being advertised at Seminarblog.info. There are several events each day, and they are well worth looking at. Please take time to review the events and perhaps sign up to attend a few. I personally, have four events listed.
If you are interested in conducting your own event, please visit the Women Internet Marketers – Got Talent site for information on how to sign up.
Finally, Diane has produced a wonderful EBook and Audio product that shares her experiences in Internet Marketing, the mistakes she's made and provides advise on how you can avoid these errors yourself. I own the product and can't recommend it highly enough. Read more about "What I Would Do Differently In My (Internet Marketing) Life If I Could Do It All Again".
I trust you will enjoy listening to this interview, as much as did conducting it. Thank you Diane for a great interview.
Thank you Everyone for your lovely comments. Thank you particularly for your feedback on my interviewing style, it is so helpful to have other peoples thoughts.
If you enjoyed this interview, please register for notification of upcoming interviews by visiting http://arvoreentreasures.com/teleseminars.php, I am organising a lot more.

Bongo Boy TV – Season 10 Episode 4
April 12, 2021 The Ark of Music Leave a Comment
You might already be familiar with the Bongo Boy Rock n Roll TV Series we've been featuring quite a bit over here on The Ark. In case you aren't – now in its tenth season and showing no signs of slowing down, this indie-music-focused program spotlights some of the best indie music videos from across the world. This series is pioneered by the label Bongo Boy Records, and they do a phenomenal job curating talent week after week. Episode 4 is no exception – we're greeted with another great, well-chosen selection of top-tier indie music videos.
Starting this week's episode is a strong showing from artist Joyann Parker. Her bluesy track Carry On is a harmonious blend of funk and soul elements (with some strong overtones of gospel for good measure), tied together by her rough-and-tumble vocal timbre that serves as a perfectly authentic vessel for this song's uplifting message.
The High Plains Drifters follow with their electro-pop track Since You've Been Gone. This video seems to take the angle of "ideas about the future from the past", combining modern images and a well-produced and equally modern track with images of retro space travel and tube TVs. This is followed by the emotional, heart-warming pop anthem Proud of Me by Steve Ryan (you can check out our full review of this single and video here).
Pete Muller and The Kindred Souls toss us back into the blues with their rendition of the classic tune For What It's Worth. Melding fiddle, dynamic vocal harmonies, and a bright acoustic guitar, this is a great fusion of Americana and more traditional blues styles. The group vocals are a particularly enjoyable highlight of this track, and the live performance video speaks to this group's skill.
Les Fradkin gives us a stripped-down performance video as well for his track Turn To The Movement. This track is lighthearted in execution but carries a battle cry in the lyrics. This is followed by Eucalyption and their creative video for their track Waiting, taking the idea of a "tour van" to an entirely new level. And finally, closing out Episode 4 is Project213. Their track Bleed With Who? plays with experimental sounds and vocal tones over an electronic base of sounds, creating a unique and eccentric listening experience.
It seems that every week that we watch the Bongo Boy Rock n Roll TV Series, the music just keeps getting better and better. As it has been with every episode so far, Episode 4 is a top-tier showing of talent in both the musical and cinematic variety from artists around the globe. Artists who'd like to be considered for this opportunity – get in touch with Bongo Boy Records via the contact information below. For everyone else, be sure to keep tuning in every week to keep your finger on the pulse of the best things happening in the indie music video world.
BELOW: Watch Bongo Boy TV Season 10 Episode 4, and connect with their website and social media platforms. Please support Bongo Boy TV by visiting them online. And, as always, thank you for supporting real music!

Oh, the blog title possibilities!
Don't Stop Dancing…or if you have?
The message from me to you is the same, no matter what I call this post – Dance for your LIFE!
Last year after I left a 21 year marriage, I started dating a man who had also stopped dancing far more than I had. It broke my heart to see this, because I loved him; I saw the music in him….but he was a mirror to me, and it became an analogy to me for how people move through their world.
This man loved music to the core of his soul. But he'd let someone else walk on his beat, on his feet, and he'd let the seriousness of life layer regret on him until he couldn't hear his own music or any of the real music of life around him. He couldn't move, he wouldn't dare to dance, and he couldn't stop worrying what others thought about how he moved through his own world, his own life. He couldn't love himself, his own music.
We didn't make it, he and I. I had to leave, but not before I'd introduced him to the joy of dancing again, with the hope that it would help him find the music in the rest of his life, too.
Here's how I'd teach you, if I were with you, to dance again. I'd open my heart, turn off the lights and turn up the music. I'd move in your space without touching, I'd encourage you to do the same. I can't see you, but you can get used to another person moving and breathing in a space of joy, without any judgment about how you move.
Then I'd turn up the lights a bit and keep my eyes closed. Now you can get used to someone being in your world that YOU can see, still knowing no one is watching you in return.
And as the music grew in you, and you began to feel safe, you would gradually became comfortable with me having my eyes open, facing you.
I got it; I got where this man was coming from. I love music to my soul. I love the lyrics, the beat. I love the feeling of my piano keys under my hands, the beautiful music that's available everywhere if our ears and hearts are open. But when I was unhappy, before I'd left my marriage, I'd stopped writing my poetry, playing my music, even listening…and absolutely I'd stopped any kind of nonsense dancing. And if I'm utterly honest, I'd turned into the kind of person who had something to say about how poorly the man I was with was dancing. I hated that person I'd become.
At one point not long after I'd left my marriage, I turned on some music. I felt so low I could barely lift my head to look around. I needed the beat of the music to replace the broken beat of my heart….and all of a sudden, from the depths of my core, I felt myself started moving. In my bedroom, all by myself, with nobody watching…I danced slow, I danced fast. And then I started to sing again, a sound coming out that was so awful at first, I'm sure it sounded like an animal being tortured. But the pathway was open.
I told my friends on Facebook and my friends on text that I was dancing. I might have posted some names of the songs. It moved me even more as I realized I could nearly SEE them smiling, enjoying, and then dancing themselves in their comments.
And me? I was nearly born again! I got it! I found my music and began to move back towards my life by moving my feet again.
I'm sure if someone had seen me, they could have said many things about how I looked dancing like that. Here's the thing though. Those judgers? Those are exactly the people I was exorcising from my life. I'd committed to walking AWAY from those people. I'd committed myself to being FULLY ME, to finding situations in life and work and love that fit who *I* was growing into.
I began to move more and more towards being a Lighthouse instead of a Flashlight Girl (I will write soon about this). I began to care less and less about what some unhappy drama bully might have to say about my "dancing", and started caring more and more about how my dancing, regardless of its lack of grace or rhythm, could inspire other people who were stiff and dying to come alive and feel something, too. Maybe MY dancing, however awkward, could even awaken someone else's "dance" again.
And ultimately before we parted, that man I was dating started sharing with me how he was now wiggling in his seat at work like he'd never done before in his life. I hope others saw him wiggling and got to wiggling, too.
Dance. Just do it. Turn on the music in your hearts, in your room, in your life. Move. If someone's in your way judging, close your eyes and turn the other way if you must until you can face them for what they really are. The truth is most likely that they wish they were dancing too. Show them how it's done.
Dance your heart out! Dance for your LIFE!
To start with? Give yourself 10 minutes and watch these videos. No one is trained or skilled or particularly attractive. I bet you smile at every one of these. And I want to know…did you do a little dance, at least in your heart?
Evolution of Dance – The 191,481,768 views on this video PROVE what I'm saying about the power of moving your body.
What's the Evolution of YOUR Life Dance!?
