Tony was the best moving man we've ever had. He got on with the job and we were done within two hours (we only moved around the corner). Would definitely book our move with Tony again.
Great team, would highly recommend.
I would like to highlight that when I made the booking I booked for a small van with 1 person help.
The driver arrived and after loading the stuff informed me it's the large van and after telling him that we ordered a small one he asked us to pay extra 20 pounds. Upon reaching the destination the driver/helper refused to unload and place the items in the apartment and said we hadn't paid for the service when in fact we did pay for help as was clear on the booking confirmation. In the van along with he driver my uncle went to the destination. My uncle has back problem and can't lift heavy items and because of this driver was forced to move the items. I can easily sue given the circumstances and negligence. I had heard good reviews of man and van and hence booked the service but I am very unhappy and dissatisfied with the service provided today. Also, I would like to highlight that the driver allowed his kid to sit in the back of the van during the move without any ventilation- that's a clear violation of terms. Additionally on reaching the destination he found a couple moving out of an accommodation and started helping them and asked them to pay 30 pounds and left my uncle to do his job of offloading.
I will be lodging a complaint and would like immediate action to be taken.
CMV response: The driver totally disputes this review. The charge for a large van was levied as the customer's goods exceeded what a small van could carry. The driver is fully aware that to carry any passenger in the back of the van is illegal. However, the customer has been fully refunded due to her extreme dissatisfaction.
Tony was very fast and efficient. We got the job done in a lot less time than we anticipated.
Tony was a GREAT driver! He was on-time (early in fact which was great), very pleasant to work with, and helped me have a quick and easy move. I can highly recommend him!
Good service. I will be happy use again or recommend to others.
Tony was great, friendly, really helpful and kind. Took a detour to put a table in a front garden en route too. Everything was great and when we need help moving again we'll contact him for sure!
Tony was brilliant! He was so helpful and hard-working. There was a lot of stuff to move, it was very hot and the traffic was awful but he remained calm andgood natured throughout. I would recommend him very highly.
Great service - friendly, quick and well worth the money.
Tony was Brilliant, poor guy was sick as hell, but sucked it up and smashed the move out, proactively avoided roads with ramps too on route to the new place, we pretty much got the main move done in 2 out of the 4 hours I had booked. I asked if we could do a separate return trip elsewhere to pick up a sofa and that wasn't an issue either. Whole thing done within the 4 hours allocation. Very impressed mate well done, I'm not sure if he had to cancel any bookings after mine to go back to bed due to being ill, so if there is any bad reviews from that you need to consider this review also.
Brilliant driver, extremely helpful- Made our move as stress free as possible. I would highly recommend!
I was hugely impressed by the service provided. It was fantastic value for money and the driver was absolutely brilliant, efficient and friendly. Will be recommending to everyone I know who has a move coming up. Thanks!
Tony and his helper were great. Friendly, prompt, and did everything we needed. Would definitely use again.
This has been a really good experience. Quick, efficient and professional, yet up for some joking around on the drive over. Have already recommended Tony to a couple people!
Would recommend. Tony did a good job.
By the way, he seemed to be in a hurry. Its like he wants to finish the job as quickly as possible and then move on. If you have everything already packed and all he needs is to move them, then that pace ia fine, otherwise it can be a pain when you are packing stuff as he is moving. Also, even though I went over by 10 mins, I had to pay for the full half-hour.
Professional service, stress free move!
The two guys were great. Showed up early, were efficient, polite and friendly. Would recommend them any time.
Tony was amazing and soooo quick! I couldnt recomend him enough! Thanks tony!
Great team. Both very nice and helpful! Would recommend and use again.
Absolutely outstanding. Couldn't recommend more highly.
The driver was extremely friendly & efficient. The whole service was very quick. However, we would have preferred more time & care as some of our furniture was scratched.
Really pleased. Helpful and friendly guys. Very fast. Seamless.
Tony and his young helper were quick and efficient. The move was done in the 2 hours we had booked them for.
It wasn't until after he left I started to notice more and more scuffs on corners of things etc. Good service but even though I wrapped everything I suppose it needed wrapping better. Quick and efficient.
Tony and his helper both were great and very efficient.They moved the stuff so quickly and with care.I will definitely recommend them , keep up the good work.
Tony was helpful, quick and efficient but careful with my items. He was understanding and helpful and I'd recommend him to anyone wanting to move house hassle-free.
Perfect moving experience. 5 stars!
Fantastic service. Driver was helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend this service again.
Tony was very professional and extremely helpful. He made the move so quick and efficient, I couldn't have been more happy with the service and great value. Will definitely recommend to friends and anyone else looking for a great man with a van!
My driver was not just on time, he was early. He was really efficient and friendly. I would 100% recommend him to anyone else moving. We managed to pack/unpack and drive from South London to North in bang on two hours (which was a pretty mean feat). Very happy with my service.
The quickest move ever. Really great service.
Driver was prompt, extremely friendly and polite, and very efficient. Booking and paying were both really easy. Would definitely recommend to others.
Second time we've used Tony and he was just as great this time as the first. Really hard working, friendly and gets the job done! Highly recommended.
Tony was extremely friendly , helpful and so efficient - would recommend him to anyone ! Great job done !
Tony is a very nice Driver ? 5 stars service ?
Courteous, respectful, efficient and really friendly. Will definitely book again and would definitely recommend.
Tony Cargo. Very prompt, very serious, honest guy ... I had a very good experience working with him.
This is what I call moving. Fabulous job 5*****.
Really helpful, quick and hard working, highly recommended.

A NY Times article today reports that the FBI was keeping tabs on activist groups.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19 - Counterterrorism agents at the Federal Bureau of Investigation have conducted numerous surveillance and intelligence-gathering operations that involved, at least indirectly, groups active in causes as diverse as the environment, animal cruelty and poverty relief, newly disclosed agency records show.
F.B.I. officials said Monday that their investigators had no interest in monitoring political or social activities and that any investigations that touched on advocacy groups were driven by evidence of criminal or violent activity at public protests and in other settings.
One F.B.I. document indicates that agents in Indianapolis planned to conduct surveillance as part of a "Vegan Community Project." Another document talks of the Catholic Workers group's "semi-communistic ideology." A third indicates the bureau's interest in determining the location of a protest over llama fur planned by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
The documents, provided to The New York Times over the past week, came as part of a series of Freedom of Information Act lawsuits brought by the American Civil Liberties Union. For more than a year, the A.C.L.U. has been seeking access to information in F.B.I. files on about 150 protest and social groups that it says may have been improperly monitored.
The F.B.I. had previously turned over a small number of documents on antiwar groups, showing the agency's interest in investigating possible anarchist or violent links in connection with antiwar protests and demonstrations in advance of the 2004 political conventions. And earlier this month, the A.C.L.U.'s Colorado chapter released similar documents involving, among other things, people protesting logging practices at a lumber industry gathering in 2002.
The latest batch of documents, parts of which the A.C.L.U. plans to release publicly on Tuesday, totals more than 2,300 pages and centers on references in internal files to a handful of groups, including PETA, the environmental group Greenpeace and the Catholic Workers group, which promotes antipoverty efforts and social causes.
Many of the investigative documents turned over by the bureau are heavily edited, making it difficult or impossible to determine the full context of the references and why the F.B.I. may have been discussing events like a PETA protest. F.B.I. officials say many of the references may be much more benign than they seem to civil rights advocates, adding that the documents offer an incomplete and sometimes misleading snapshot of the bureau's activities.
"Just being referenced in an F.B.I. file is not tantamount to being the subject of an investigation," said John Miller, a spokesman for the bureau.
We recently had some local news where a anti-war meeting in Lake Worth was part of pentagon database. One attended by Quakers.
Members of that group, which now calls itself The Truth Project, consider themselves a harmless band of idealists and peaceniks.
But the Pentagon considered their inaugural 2004 meeting a "threat," according to a classified database of information obtained by NBC News that lists information about suspicious people and activity inside the United States.
The Truth Project meeting, held at the Quaker Meetinghouse, was one of nearly four dozen antiwar meetings or protests listed on the 400-page document generated by an obscure Pentagon agency that analyzes intelligence reports on suspicious domestic activity, according to the report aired Tuesday on NBC's Nightly News.
The database classified the Lake Worth meeting as one of more than 1,500 "suspicious incidents" across the country over a recent 10-month period.
People who attended the meeting were shocked to see their organization's name on the database, but it got them thinking about a few strange faces at the gathering, people none of them had seen before. Since then, strangers have shown up at various group rallies to snap photos of the activists.
The group now thinks those strangers may have been "spies," said Rich Hersh, spokesman for The Truth Project.
"When the Pentagon does something like this, they trample my constitutional and my civil rights," Hersh said. "I'm 59 and disabled, and if I'm being spied on and judged a credible threat to recruiters, then a soccer mom is going to end up being the next person who's judged a threat."
The Pentagon released a statement Wednesday that implied — but did not explicitly acknowledge — that some information on the database had been handled improperly.
You combine this with the recent NSA story, and I am just having a hard time swallowing all of this. I know we're at war, but the evidence continues to mount that our government in Washington feels its free to do anything it wants. Constitution or no constitution. I'm starting to lose faith in the Bush administration, for it looks like to me they have no respect for anyone's rights.

Q: Java Observer Pattern - Pass info to other class - methods Query - I would like to know how I should proceed to code if I need to make the information in the Observer class available to methods in other classes.
The observer receives the updates from Observable in the form of Object[]. I am able to print the output onto console, but not clear on how to make this information available to other classes.
I tried by creating a getInfo method in the Observer which returns the Object[] & then instantiating the Observer in the class where I need the info, calling the getInfo method. But I am getting a null pointer exception.
Code - Observer
private String car;
private CarModel carModel;

public broadcastObserver(Observable observable){
    observable.addObserver(this);
}

@Override
public void update(Observable observable, Object arg) {
    Object[] subjectMessage = (Object[])arg;
int i = 0;
    for (Object o : subjectMessage) {
        switch (i){
            case 0:
                car = (String)o;
                i++;
                break;
            case 1:
                carModel = (CarModel) o;
                i++;
                break;
        }
    }
}
public Object[] getObserverFeed(){
    Object[] observerFeed = new Object[]{car,carModel};
    return observerFeed;
}

Code - Class Method where info is needed
broadcastObserver bO = new broadcastObserver();

Object[] feed = bO.getObserverFeed();

A: Invert the flow of data: instead of trying to pull info from the observer with get-methods, use the observer to push it to where it's needed.

The Moon is the ominous object that threatens to destroy Clock Town in Majora's Mask.[citation needed] By the power of Majora's Mask, it is destined to crash into Clock Town, which will obliterate the town along with the rest of Termina.
1.1 Majora's Mask
1.1.1 Dungeon
2 Other Appearances
2.1 Super Smash Bros. Melee
2.2 Hyrule Warriors
2.3 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Before the events of Majora's Mask, the Skull Kid ambushed the Happy Mask Salesman and took one of his precious masks, the Majora's Mask. Even though the Skull Kid was unaware of it, Majora's Mask gradually began to possess him, turning his harmless pranks into acts with malicious intents behind them. Eventually, the mask completely embraced the Skull Kid's mind and, using him as a puppet, Majora's Mask set the Moon on a collision course with Clock Town. Once Link arrives in Termina, he discovers that he has just three days to prevent the Moon from extinguishing all of Termina.
Along with his Fairy companion Tatl, Link sets out to find the Four Giants in each of the temples found throughout Termina. After they free the Giants from the Skull Kid's curse, the young hero and his Fairy climb atop the Clock Tower on the Final Day to call upon the Giants using the "Oath to Order." One by one, the Four Giants appear and stop the Moon's descent, knocking the Skull Kid unconscious in the process.
At this point, Majora's Mask realizes that the Skull Kid has become useless, so it abandons the imp's body and transports itself inside the Moon.[1] With the Moon now being possessed by Majora's Mask, it becomes too strong for the Giants to hold back and it threatens to continue with its plan of obliterating Termina.[2] While the Four Giants use all of their might to restrain the evil menace, Link and Tatl follow Majora's Mask into the Moon.[3] Inside, Link defeats Majora's Mask and the Moon disintegrates, returning peace to Termina.
Main article: Moon Dungeons
Once Link and Tatl successfully summon the Four Giants to halt the descent of the Moon, Majora's Mask discards the Skull Kid's unconscious body and enters the Moon's mouth,[1] once more driving it down toward Termina.[2] To stop this, Link and Tatl follow the cursed Mask to the Moon.
Link and Tatl transport to a serene, hilled landscape known as the Grassy Playfield. Several Moon Children appear in this field, wearing the remains of the four previous bosses as masks. If Link decides to play with any of these Moon Children, they will transport him to a special dungeon. If Link decides to play with the Moon Child wearing Majora's Mask and sitting under the tree in the center of the field, he will initiate the battle with Majora's Mask.
Non-Canon Information
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the Moon appears in the background of the Great Bay Stage. As the match progresses, the Moon slowly descends until the Four Giants appear and push it back up. The Moon also appears as a Trophy.
First Game / Move
How to unlock
Moon Majora's Mask
10/00 High in the sky above the Clock Town Tower, a menacing moon slowly sinks towards the city. Shrouded in mystery and feared by all, it threatens to devour everything and everyone in a cataclysm of fire. Strangely, inside the moon is a beautiful, pristine plain broken by a single tree. The moon breaks after Link defeats Majora's Mask. Random
In Hyrule Warriors, the Moon appears in "The Shadow King", where it is constructed by Fairies and summoned by the Great Fairy to knock Argorok out of the sky. The Moon can also be summoned when using the Clawshot into the air, pulling a smaller Moon down to crush enemies. Link can also summon the Moon when using the Great Fairy weapon as a combo attack. Young Link wearing the Fierce Deity's Mask can also summon the Moon, which is pulled by the Skull Kid and then sliced in half by the Fierce Deity. Skull Kid as a playable Warrior kicks a miniature Moon at his enemies to attack.
An 8-bit version of the Moon also appears on the Termina Map in Adventure Mode, which will crash and destroy Termina if the map is not cleared in time. The Moon will crash in 72 moves, similarly to the 72 hours in Majora's Mask. However, if the Four Giants Item Card is used and the hidden battle is completed on the Moon itself, the Moon will not fall down. The Moon can be prevented from crashing by using the Song of Time Item Card, however this also resets the map.
The Moon appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. When summoned, the Moon will hurtle towards the Stage, becoming fiery and throwing debris from the Stage as it becomes closer. The Moon will then collide with the Stage, damaging anything in its path, before exploding in a flash and launching any Fighters that were close to the Moon.
The Moon also appears as a Spirit. It reprises its role in the background of the Great Bay Stage as well.
During the development of the game, the Moon had no face on it.
In The Wind Waker, the Nintendo Gallery has a sculpture of the Moon in the background behind the counter.[verification needed]

If music, movies and dances are a reflection of human life through the ages, painting, photography, still life installations and other forms of art can be considered another unique way of expression. As a matter of fact, contemporary artists are making art not for the sake of expressing it but possibly in pursuit of a kind of quiet and slow life and for purpose of demonstrating their ultimate belief in creativity from their own perspective. SUPREME CREATIVE as a platform for communicating creative power is committed to the pursuit of "Art in Free Life". We endeavor to connect artists with viewers, the brand and consumers through art exhibitions and other methods, making them understand each other, appreciate art, and discover a pure life and a simple world.
The charisma of life needs to be tasted leisurely. The intrinsic and true beauty of time and space lingers in the artistic dialogues created by SUPREME CREATIVE. The space for the communication between the comprehensible and incomprehensible might make art more emotional and richer as art shuttles back and forth between the past and the present. The philosophy "Art Originates from Life" can be interpreted from diverse aspects, which makes art lovers feel a calling to re-contemplate and love the surrounding world by virtue of the language of nature and the power of creativity.

Title: Strategic interdependence, hypothetical bargaining, and mutual advantage in non-cooperative games
Author: Radzvilas, Mantas
Awarding Body: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Current Institution: London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London)
Full text unavailable from EThOS. Please try the link below.

One of the conceptual limitations of the orthodox game theory is its inability to offer definitive theoretical predictions concerning the outcomes of noncooperative games with multiple rationalizable outcomes. This prompted the emergence of goal-directed theories of reasoning – the team reasoning theory and the theory of hypothetical bargaining. Both theories suggest that people resolve non-cooperative games by using a reasoning algorithm which allows them to identify mutually advantageous solutions of non-cooperative games. The primary aim of this thesis is to enrich the current debate on goaldirected reasoning theories by studying the extent to which the principles of the bargaining theory can be used to formally characterize the concept of mutual advantage in a way which is compatible with some of the conceptually compelling principles of orthodox game theory, such as individual rationality, incentive compatibility, and non-comparability of decision-makers' personal payoffs. I discuss two formal characterizations of the concept of mutual advantage derived from the aforementioned goal-directed reasoning theories: A measure of mutual advantage developed in collaboration with Jurgis Karpus, which is broadly in line with the notion of mutual advantage suggested by Sugden (2011, 2015), and the benefit-equilibrating bargaining solution function, which is broadly in line with the principles underlying Conley and Wilkie's (2012) solution for Pareto optimal point selection problems with finite choice sets. I discuss the formal properties of each solution, as well as its theoretical predictions in a number of games. I also explore each solution concept's compatibility with orthodox game theory. I also discuss the limitations of the aforementioned goal-directed reasoning theories. I argue that each theory offers a compelling explanation of how a certain type of decision-maker identifies the mutually advantageous solutions of non-cooperative games, but neither of them offers a definitive answer to the question of how people coordinate their actions in non-cooperative social interactions.

Japan Approves $116 Billion for Urgent Economic Stimulus
By Hiroko Tabuchi
TOKYO — The Japanese government approved emergency stimulus spending of ¥10.3 trillion Friday, part of an aggressive push by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to kick-start growth in a long-moribund economy.
Mr. Abe also reiterated his desire for the Japanese central bank to make a firmer commitment to stopping deflation by pumping more money into the economy, which the prime minister has said is crucial to getting businesses to invest and consumers to spend.
"We will put an end to this shrinking and aim to build a stronger economy where earnings and incomes can grow," Mr. Abe said. "For that, the government must first take the initiative to create demand and boost the entire economy."
Under the plan, the Japanese government will spend $116 billion on public works and disaster mitigation projects, subsidies for companies that invest in new technology and financial aid to small businesses.
Through these measures, the government will seek to raise real economic growth 2 percentage points and add 600,000 jobs to the economy, Mr. Abe said. The package announced Friday amounts to one of the largest spending plans in Japanese history, he said.
By simply talking about stimulus measures, Mr. Abe, who took office late last month, has already driven down the value of the yen, much to the relief of Japanese exporters, whose competitiveness benefits from a weaker currency. In response, Tokyo stocks have rallied.
But the government's promises to spend its way out of economic stagnation also raise concerns about public debt, which has already mushroomed to twice the size of the Japanese economy and is the largest in the industrialized world.
At the root of Japan's debt problems was a similar attempt in the 1990s by Mr. Abe's Liberal Democratic Party to stimulate economic growth through government spending on extensive public works projects across the country. The effort did little to bring growth to the wider economy.
On Friday, Mr. Abe said that the spending this time around would be better focused to bring about growth through investment in innovation. He said the government would also invest in measures that would help mitigate the decline in the Japanese population by encouraging families to have more children.

"To grow in a sustainable way, we must help create a virtuous cycle where companies actively borrow and invest, and in so doing raise employment and incomes," Mr. Abe said.
"For that, it is extremely important that we adopt a growth strategy that gives everyone solid hope that the future of the Japanese economy lies in growth."
Mr. Abe has assembled two panels of chief executives and academics, including Hiroshi Mikitani, chief executive of a major e-commerce company and a harsh critic of the old guard of economic policy makers, and Heizo Takenaka, a former economy minister and outspoken academic known for his disdain of pork-barrel spending.
Meanwhile, a more aggressive monetary policy designed to beat deflation could fall into place when the Bank of Japan's board meets Jan. 20-21 for its monthly review.
Mr. Abe has leaned on Japan's central bankers — whom he has criticized as too cautious — to commit to an inflation rate of at least 2 percent, which would help convince businesses that Japan would not arbitrarily reverse course on its easy money policy. For more than a decade, the rate of inflation has been flat or negative, reflecting languishing personal incomes and corporate profits.
Some at the central bank, still wary of the tremendous asset bubble that loose monetary policy set off in the late 1980s, have warned of the dangers of stoking inflation. The Bank of Japan's governor, Masaaki Shirakawa, has also bristled at the idea of bankrolling public spending by buying more government bonds.
With its benchmark interest rate already near zero, the bank has few options left, other than to buy up government bonds and other financial assets if it is to inject money into the economy.
In an interview with the Nikkei business daily published Friday, Mr. Abe said he would seek in writing an agreement from the bank to pursue a target of 2 percent inflation, though he said the agreement would not set a deadline. He also said the bank should consider policies that would increase employment as much as possible.
Mr. Abe said that he hoped to pick as Mr. Shirakawa's successor someone who shared the government's position on inflation and employment, according to the interview. The central bank governor's term runs out in April.
Hajime Takada, chief economist at the Mizuho Research Institute, said in a note to clients Friday that there were still too many unknowns to assess the effectiveness of Mr. Abe's economic push.
But by setting a clearly pro-business policy agenda, Mr. Abe has started to change the mind-set of investors and corporations who had all but given up on growth — and for that, the new prime minister scores high, Mr. Takada said.

Critics of the administration's war on illegal drugs, along with relatives of drug suspects killed in police operations, have filed a complaint against President Rodrigo Duterte before the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity.
"I. The acts of Murder under Article 7, paragraph 1 (a) for the extra-judicial killings of thousands of Filipinos; and II. Other Inhumane Acts under Article 7, paragraph 1 (k) for causing great suffering to the victims and their families," the complainants said.
The complainants, assisted by National Union of People's Lawyers, also mentioned that crimes against humanity — which Duterte had supposedly committed — are cause for serious concern to the international community, according to the Article 5 of the Rome Statute.
"Such crimes are being committed in the Philippines, on a daily basis since President Rodrigo Roa Duterte took office, under his so-called 'war on drugs' and the alleged campaign against criminality," they said.
They also cited paragraphs in Article 28 to put the responsibility on Duterte, as he was the commander of the police force and superior authority of other government agencies.
"President Rodrigo Duterte is criminally responsible, under the principle of command responsibility under Article 28, paragraphs (a) and (b), being the commander and superior authority over the police and other state security forces who committed the above mentioned acts of murder, inhumane acts, and other forms of persecution…" the complainants claimed.
In the last 2016 Presidential Elections, then-candidate Duterte vowed to implement a harsh approach against those involved in the illegal drug trade, with banters and statements like the funeral industry would flourish under his term because of the number of slain drug suspects.
During the 2018 State of the Nation Address, the President reiterated that the drug war would continue, and it would be relentless and chilling as it was before.
Critics have voiced their concern over the administration's policy in the war against illegal drugs several times.

Batman Arkham VR is Rocksteady at the Top of Their Game: Hands On
Batman Arkham VR is the real deal.
Whenever the latest installment in Rocksteady's master class of Batman Arkham Games arrives, I tell myself, "this is the closest I'll ever get to being Batman." That is, until their next game releases and takes leaps and bounds to further immerse its players. Now on PlayStation VR, Rocksteady has outdone themselves yet again: move over Arkham Knight, Arkham VR is the new hero in town.
Fans should know off the bat that Batman Arkham VR is a standalone story set in the Arkhamverse, not a final chapter or epilogue to Arkham Knight's thrilling ending. That said, the characters, look, and feel of the Arkham games are back in full effect, and according to a Warner Bros. spokesperson I talked to, the complete game will be full of Easter eggs and throwbacks to previous entries in the Arkham series.
My twenty minute demo began quietly in Wayne Manor. Bruce, standing in front of a grand piano, learns via Alfred that a Bat family ally has sent out a distress beacon in the heart of Gotham. Players then descend into the depths of a 360 degree, fully realized Batcave. From there, you suit up in what can only be described as one of the most exhilarating opening sequences I've ever played. After acquiring and testing some gadgets, Batman is ready to hit the streets.
It's worth noting that Arkham VR's graphics are better looking than any other VR game I've played. Despite the processing demands of virtual reality hardware, the visuals here look much closer to Arkham Knight than to Arkham City. The level of detail on character models is hugely impressive, especially on Alfred, whose "I'm getting too old for your sh*t, Master Bruce" mindset is communicated perfectly through his wrinkled face and tired eyes.
Two PlayStation Move wands simulate Batman's gauntlets and serve as your primary method of interacting with the game world. As with most VR, understanding the gameplay is surprisingly intuitive: looking down and seeing your grappling hook, forensic scanner, and batarangs hanging from a virtual utility belt around your waist, it's instantly clear how to interact with them and the game world.
The demo wraps with a detective section that mirrors the crime reconstruction puzzles of Arkham Origins and Knight. The fast paced combat of the third-person Arkham games is not present – that style of gameplay likely won't translate well to first person – so the demo instead focuses on showcasing the mind behind the mask, both in brain power and emotion.
After the demo, the WB spokesperson tells me the full retail experience will take about three to four hours to complete. It will definitely have replay value, though for now that's all they'll say. We talk about all the possibilities of the VR campaign: what gadgets there could be; whether we'll drive the Batmobile; but at this point it's all speculation. Rocksteady Studios are the masterminds behind the new game, and as always, their lips are sealed. Canadian development team Warner Bros Montreal, who created the prequel Arkham Origins and helped with Knight's DLC, is once again involved with play testing and other product polishing elements of production, however.
Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman in the Arkham Games as well as other television and film projects, recently told Geekpr0n his reaction to the Arkham VR project. "I was really happy when they asked me to do it," he admits. "I think Mark and I both hit home runs with [Arkham Knight]. It's what made me want to do more of them."
Batman Arkham VR is eye-opening proof that virtual reality is no gimmick. Like with any technology, it can be done shoddily if there's a bad team with the wrong motivation. Luckily for Bat fans, the creators at Rocksteady Studios understand what makes a Batman game better than any other team, and it's now clear they also understand virtual reality. The Gotham City I visited in VR is one I can't wait to return to when the game launches October 13th.

The neon installation festival luring community out after dark
A festival in Melbourne's inner suburbs is bringing the community together after-dark to experience installations in an enchanted neon-lit garden.
City of Stonnington set alight with the glow festival. Image supplied.
What could be better than binge-watching Netflix on a wintry Melbourne evening you ask? How about exploring an Edwardian 19-acre federation garden illuminated by immersive art installations?
The sixth Glow Winter Arts Festival will take place from 15-18 August and encourages everyone in and around the City of Stonnington, as well as curious-minded art lovers, to explore Malvern's Central Park while interacting with the artwork, and each other.
'The aim of Glow is to get the community out from the middle of the depths of winter to explore,' said City of Stonnington Councillor Steve Stefanopolous. 'It's the only thing that happens on the southside of the river that's like this.'
Installations at this year's festival include: a glowing hemisphere of pixels; a golden elm tree that comes to life through the art of projection mapping; a soundscape inspired by the ocean, and a theatrical light production that guides the viewer through a dazzling display of Melbourne's four seasons.
With sunken gardens, a fountain and an old conservatory, the installations work alongside the existing infrastructure in the park, bringing it to life. Stefanopolous said the festival is also an opportunity to create work for artists.
'We try and commission new works although we do borrow some works from interstate and overseas,' he said. 'And there is community grants funding that the council provides to some artists in order to create new works. They can take that and tour that across the country too, which is great.'
One of the installations not to miss, according to Stefanopolous, is String Symphony, an interactive performance that encourages community members to work together and bring giant marionettes – which are hand-woven and use more than a kilometre of rope – to life.
'These marionettes allow people to participate with the artwork because you have to go up to them and move them yourself. You have total control over them,' he said.
It's the community spirit of Glow which has previously been a drawcard for the festival, attracting a mixed crowd from municipalities across Melbourne. It's also a unique opportunity to capture the light display from your phone.
'Glow is very engaging social media-wise because it's at night and it gives you the opportunity to take some great photos,' Stefanopolous said. 'The way the projections light up the trees and foliage is just stunning.'
And for those willing to embrace the cold and head to Glow, Stefanopolous has just one tip.
'I would suggest that everyone rug up. We're in the depths of winter in Melbourne and everyone should wear scarves, mittens and gloves. It can be freezing!'
But rest assured there will be heaters should you feel the need to thaw out.
Glow Winter Arts Festival runs from 15-18 August from 6-10pm each night. For more information visit: Glowfestival.com.au

Home > Moving Guides > Types of Moves > Long Distance Moves > How Do You Move Long Distance?
There's always a lot of speculation as to what constitutes a long distance move.
Truth is, you can have a long distance move that is within the same state, and an interstate move that's 50 to 100 miles away from your original destination. Moving locally is very straight forward whereas long distance moves require time, preparation, paperwork, planning and so much more.
Pricing for long-distance moves is typically determined by the weight and size of the shipment. Moving a one-bedroom apartment can cost anywhere between $850 and $4,500. Prices will vary greatly depending on your location (a move from Manhattan to Los Angeles costs $2,500 on average) and the weight of your shipment.
Tip: To avoid being surprised by the total cost of your move, use our weight calculator to help estimate the total weight of your move.
What are some common hidden charges in long distance moves?
Dense or urban areas might require a shuttle service to transport your items to your front door, because the truck itself is too large to fit or park near the destination. This can add $300 to $500 to your final bill.
If your new home isn't ready, the company will place your belongings in short-term storage. Depending on the amount of items you have, this can cost anywhere from $150 to $1,000 monthly.
Some companies offer a guaranteed delivery date. The pricing depends on the volume of belongings as well as the driver's flexibility (based on the route). This will add $300 to $1,500 onto your final bill. The less availability the company has, the more they will charge.
How do you find the right long distance mover?
Once you know where and how many items you're bringing with you, it's time to select a moving company. Start your research at Movers.com to get long distance moving quotes from several reputable companies. We check the company's licensing and insurance qualifications, so you don't have to. Listen to reviews from real customers detailing their experiences.
How do you prepare to move long distance?
Give yourself ample time to inform those who should be informed that you're moving.
Research what you need to apply for a driver's license in your new state. You don't have to switch insurance companies when you move to a new state, which makes the transition a little easier.
Switch your accounts over a month in advance. Let them know when you would like the services turned off, which should be the day after you vacate the home. At the same time, you will need to contact the utility providers in your new location and set up accounts.
Utility accounts, like gas, water and electricity should be turned on one day before your move in date. Take a few days between your move in date and having your telecommunications hooked up so you can decide where the components will be placed prior to drilling holes in your wall.
How do you pack for a long distance move?
As your move approaches, start creating a list of everything you need to bring with you. Since your goods will be traveling a long distance, you'll want to take extra care when packing them.
TIP: Label any boxes that you pack yourself as "P.B.O." (Packed By Owner) so you do not get charged for packing them. But be careful packing them, the moving company can't be held responsible for broken items inside these boxes.
Use wardrobe boxes for suits, coats, and other items that need to be hung. Your more durable clothing items can be folded and packed into garbage bags. Shoes should be packed in their original box.
Before putting anything in the truck, though, the moving company will prepare a Household Goods Descriptive Inventory document, which lists all of your goods and their condition prior to the move. You will be asked to review this list and sign it before your items are moved.
What type of insurance do you need for a long distance move?
Insure everything you move. Regardless of your moving company's expertise, there is still the chance that your belongings can be damaged as they are packed up, when they are on the road or as they are being brought into your new house.
Though very rare, there is the possibility of total loss of your goods -- whether due to theft, fire or natural disaster. Therefore, you should get insurance to protect your goods from the wear and tear involved in a move and from the possibility of something worse.
Find out if your current home insurance provider will cover your goods during a move. If so, don't spend the extra money on additional insurance.
You can find a company to insure your move on your own. This may be cheaper than using one affiliated with your moving company.
For the most comprehensive coverage, you should get full value protection. With this service, the moving company will repair, replace or give you a cash settlement for all damaged items, up to the declared value of the shipment.
Plan for delivery. Research the parking regulations in your new neighborhood. If you're moving into an apartment complex, talk to the super about getting access to the freight elevator.
Inspect the delivery for any damages or missing items. Triple check everything! If you happen to notice some damage after signing the Household Goods Descriptive Inventory, it can be difficult to file a claim and be compensated by your moving company.
Tip your movers to show your appreciation and provide water or other refreshments while they work.

In an earlier blog post, we introduced the collaborative work of San Diego Zoo Global (SDZG) in tackling illegal wildlife trade (IWT) issues throughout Southeast Asia. Fascinating insights are emerging from these vital collaborative efforts across six countries. Perhaps the most important understanding we have gained is that wildlife product use is spatially and socially variable, both between and within countries.
In Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, use of bear parts among elites appears to be mostly men, who consume meat and/or bear bile wine in social settings. However, that picture is very different in other areas of the country. While working in mid-west Cambodia, Elizabeth Davis, researcher, SDZG Community Engagement, found herself among approximately ten market women, all of whom were determined to tell her about bear bile's efficacy in treating post-partum "weakness".
Both vignettes presented here indicate that efforts to address use of bear parts will need to be tailored to the specific groups using the parts. An educational/behavior change campaign about bile's lack of efficacy in treating post-partum ailments will clearly not resonate among upper class males in Phnom Penh. When thinking about the woman who casually bought the bear, it's apparent that greater work needs to be done in these regions, to decrease the acceptability of purchasing and consuming bear parts. Better enforcement of the laws, and more awareness among consumers as to what those laws are, will not be enough to change behaviors. The woman who purchased the bear did not purchase it merely because she was not aware that to do so would be illegal; rather, she purchased it because she could conceive of making a profit from the bear parts.
In recognition of such human obstacles, in collaboration with our partners, we have defined our goal(s): to reduce the overall prevalence of bear part use in Southeast Asia, and to reduce the acceptability among people of bear part use within the region. We have also created detailed plans for how we shall accomplish our goals. We plan to employ behavior change campaigns, which will use well-established marketing techniques to influence consumer behavior away from using bear parts.
Our first pilot campaign has begun in northeast Cambodia, and if successful, will be applied throughout Cambodia, and later other areas in Southeast Asia. This campaign will urge individuals to consult medical professionals before purchasing bear parts, and will urge medical professionals to prescribe alternatives to bear parts. These messages are the result of our previous research in the area, which found that use was primarily for medical reasons. As bear bile/gallbladder alternatives are freely available, and such use is usually for non-essential reasons (e.g. bruising), it may be possible to "nudge" individuals towards cheaper and more conservation-positive options.

People line up to vote on the last day of early voting at the Minneapolis Early Vote Center Monday, Nov. 5, 2018, in Minneapolis. Jim Mone | AP	(www.mprnews.org).
With the 2018 election now firmly in the rear-view mirror and talk already turning to 2020 what better time to not talk about 2020 but instead talk about the 2018 elections that, as earlier stipulated, are now firmly in the rear-view mirror. Here then are a few random thoughts I've been thinking about the 2018 election.
Yes, yes, by now everyone knows that turnout was high, a few fun facts about just how high that turnout was may be in order though.
I haven't looked back past 1994, but it's almost certain that Jeff Johnson got the second most votes for Governor in Minnesota history, behind only Tim Walz.
Turnout was so high that Jeff Johnson got the second most votes for Governor in Minnesota history while only getting 42% of the vote. That's pretty high turnout.
Minnesota's third congressional district topped the country in turnout among congressional districts with two more Minnesota districts, the second and the fifth, in the top seven.
Amy Klobuchar won re-election with over 60%. In 2012 she got 65%. In 2006 58%. You have to go all the way back to 1994 to find someone who got a higher share of the vote statewide than Amy Klobuchar did in her worst year.
Tim Walz won the Governors race with 53.84% of the vote, the highest share of the vote anyone not named Amy Klobuchar has gotten since 2002 when Mike Hatch got 54.64% in the Attorney Generals race. Walz also won the race with an 11.41% margin of victory, the largest margin of victory in a Governors race since Arne Carlson demolished John Marty by almost 30 points in 1994.
Going back to 2010 the DFL has won all 16 statewide races and of those 16 only three times did the Republican candidate even get within 2% of the DFL candidate, the 2014 Secretary of State race (1.17%), the 2010 Auditor race (1.26%) and of course the 2010 Governors race (0.42%). The forth closest race was for Secretary of State in 2010 (3.46%) and the fifth closest for Attorney General this year (3.88%).
In fact, the DFL has been so dominant statewide that you have to go all the way back to the 1940s to find another time in Minnesota history when one party held every statewide elected office for as long as the DFL has now held every statewide elected office. From 1941 through 1948 the Republicans controlled every statewide office, with Hubert Humphrey ending the streak when he was elected Senator in 1948.
To find the last time in Minnesota history that one party has held every statewide office for 10 years, which will be the situation in 2020 (that is of course, if you overlook the fact that the Lt. Governor has been a Republican for the last year), you have to go back to the 1800s. In terms of modern Minnesota politics the DFLs current statewide winning streak is unprecedented.
The Independence Party of Minnesota first achieved major party status in 1994 when Dean Barkley surpassed the 5% threshold in his run for the Senate seat held by Rod Grams. They lost major party status in 2014 when none of their candidates were able to reach the 5% threshold, although Bob Helland came tantalizingly close in the Secretary of State race, getting 4.91%.
This was the first election since the Independence Party gained major party status in which they did not compete as a major party. They tried to regain their major party status this year by running a candidate in just one statewide race, for Secretary of State, but again they fell short.
While the Independence Party remains in the political wilderness, two(!) separate marijuana related parties were able to crest the 5% mark and acquire major party status, Grassroots – Legalize Cannabis (5.71% in Attorney General race) and Legal Marijuana Now (5.28% in Auditor race).
It's unclear how much staying power two separate weed parties will have, but a thing that is fairly clear is that in recent Minnesota history votes for third-party candidates have tended to come at the expense of DFLers more than Republicans. This can be illustrated in the following two graphs which show the correlation between 1) DFL and third-party vote share and 2) GOP and third-party vote share, in all of the constitutional officer races since 1994.
In both cases the slope is negative, meaning as the share of third-party votes increases the share of votes of the party in question decreases. On the DFL graph the slope is quite a bit more pronounced, meaning that increases in third-party vote share have tended to have a greater negative impact on the DFL share of the vote than on the GOP share.
The r-squared values also support the hypothesis that third-party votes have hurt the DFL more than the GOP, almost half of the variance in the DFLs vote share can be accounted for by the variance of the third-party vote whereas it explains only 7% of the variance in the GOPs vote share.
The demise of the Independence Party is undoubtedly a good thing for the DFL, but just as they have rid themselves of one nuisance, two new ones have emerged to contend with. The difference in the dynamics between the parties may be important as well, in an attempt to occupy the political center the IP fielded candidates they felt could appeal to Republicans as well as Democrats. While the graphs above support the hypothesis that the primary source of IP votes were DFL leaning voters, that was not the only source of their votes and they undoubtedly drew some soft Republicans as well.
It's uncertain that will be the case with the two new major parties, that is if they even last beyond the next election cycle when they will have a single race, for the US Senate, in which to field candidates.

We are excited to bring you a new monthly series from Katie Blauser, the brains behind Eat Pretty Darling. Each month on our blog we will feature a "Color of the Week" that corresponds with Veggie Buds Club's veggie of the month. May's veggie is BEANS so we can't wait to focus on GREEN veggies this month!
Let's face it, we don't all have access to farm stands and gardens year round to source our fresh produce each week. It's not always feasible to have our kids helping to grow the food we eat either. Most of us have to count on the grocery store to fill our bellies, but there's still a fun way to get the kids involved!
Each week we head out to to grocery store with a color to find! We stick to the produce section and try to pick 4-5 items that fit our color. Sometimes it's the color on the outside, sometimes it's the color on the inside. It's a great way to get the kids excited about trying new things! Let your kids pick the items out. We try to get at least one thing he likes and some other things he hasn't tried or is still learning to like. Even if I've offered him something a million times, he gets more interested in trying it if he had a hand in picking it out. Getting kids involved every step of the way can help your picky eater become a little more adventurous. Now go explore your grocery store! A colorful bounty awaits.
Now what to do with all of your colorful food? Try to incorporate these items into your weekly meals. How about a totally green meal such as these Green Bean Sticks with Green Dip?!
Blanch green beans in lightly salted boiling water 2-3 minutes until beans are tender. Quickly plunge beans in ice water. Once cooled, drain beans and place in a large bowl and set aside.
Put basil, lime juice, avocado, green onions, honey, Parmesan, and garlic in a food processor. While pulsing, drizzle olive oil through top until dressing is smooth, scraping down sides if necessary. Season dressing with salt and pepper.
Serve the bean sticks & dip right away or place covered in the fridge until chilled.
The dip can also be used as a sauce over zucchini noodles ( another all green meal! ) or even spread on a piece of toast.
May is all about BEANS at Veggie Buds Club! We hope you enjoy this delicious recipe from this month's Veggie Buds Club subscription box.
These green beans are crispy, crunchy, and completely addictive. Kids can get their hands into all aspects of this recipe: use a kid-safe knife to trim the beans, measure and mix the ingredients for the flavorful breadcrumb coating, and take part in the "assembly line" breading of each green bean!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.
Mix the bread crumbs, cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and oil in a bowl. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl. Place the flour in a third bowl.
Make an assembly line with the three bowls, first dipping the green beans into the flour, then the egg and finally into the bread crumb mixture, coating the beans evenly and repeating with the remainder of the beans.
Place all of the coated green beans on the baking sheet. Arrange beans so that they're not touching and bake for 12 minutes or until the bread crumbs are golden. Serve warm with a squeeze of fresh lemon and dipping sauce, if desired.
blend or any starch (cornstarch, tapioca flour, or potato starch).
**For dairy-free option, substitute nutritional yeast or omit cheese.
***For egg-free option, use ¼ cup milk mixed with 1 tablespoon ground flax seed.
Serve with green bean fries.
