The renter may elect to use SRT's box office. There is a $300 fee for the use of the system. A $3 service charge will be added to the cost of each ticket ordered online or via telephone which will be added to the patron's total. Bank fees will be added to the renter's invoice once ticket sales are complete and the total is determined. We cannot accurately estimate the cost of bank fees in advance as they vary by institution.
All ticketing information must be submitted before work can begin toward arranging box office sales and an online ticketing presence. Set up for ticketing requires a minimum of fourteen (14) business days. Our ticketing software requires a certain level of detail and as such any missing information will result in a delayed "on sale" date.
Ticket pricing can be whatever the renter chooses and different groups may be charged according to different criteria. (Example: General $30, Members $25 Students & Seniors $20.) A breakdown of sales by category can be made available upon request once the event has concluded.
Seattle Repertory Theatre can sell your event's tickets through our website. Once all the pertinent information has been submitted, a minimum of fourteen (14) business days is required to create the account. A link to the page will be provided to the renter once it is available. During our off-season, we may be able to create a direct link from the SRT website's homepage. This service is not guaranteed during our producing season (in-season).
You may request, in advance, any number of complimentary tickets or house seats. These may be set aside at will call under assigned names or handed to a representative of the renting organization for distribution.

Washington Nationals/Montreal Expos Mount Rushmore
May 13, 2020 May 12, 2020 John Lepore
John Lepore | May 13th, 2020
A franchise that has only been around since 1969 has a limited amount of players to choose from. Especially a franchise that hasn't had much success until recently. Nevertheless, we will choose the four players to have their faces immortalized on the Washington Nationals/Montreal Expos Mount Rushmore.
Be sure to check out all of our Mount Rushmore articles here.
Tim Raines (1979-1990, 2001)
Raines debuted in 1979 five days before his 20th birthday. He only appeared in 21 games his first two years but became a starter in 1981. And boy did he make an impact. He led the league with 71 SBs in the strike-shortened season. Raines followed that up with three more years of leading the National League in steals. From 1981-1987 Tim Raines was the NL version of Rickey Henderson. Consider these stats from that seven-year span:
Games 1,000 935
SBs 504 568
CS 74 137
Slash 310/396/448 290/401/453
BB/K 553/425 637/521
HRs 66 110
His efficiency on the bases is unparalleled. Raines has the second-highest SB% in the history of baseball (min. 300 attempts) at 85.7%. Carlos Beltran is first at 86.4%. Out of the top 25 all-time leaders in SBs, Raines is joined by only one other player to have more HRs than times caught stealing (Joe Morgan). Rock would call it a career after the 2002 season. He is fifth in career steals and was inducted to the Hall of Fame in 2017 in his last year of eligibility. Raines is first on the Washington Nationals/Montreal Expos Mount Rushmore.
Andre Dawson (1976-1986)
"The Hawk" played his first full season in 1977 and promptly won National League Rookie of the Year honors batting .282 with 19 HRs and 21 SBs. His combination of power and speed was evident from the beginning. In five of the next six years, Dawson would go 20/20. From 1980-1985 he won six consecutive Gold Gloves, four in center field, two in right field. Dawson finished second in MVP voting in both 1981 and 1983 to Mike Schmidt and Dale Murphy respectively.
Although Dawson's best season was in 1987 for the Chicago Cubs, he played most of his career in Montreal. "The Hawk" is fourth in games played for the franchise at 1,443. He is one of only five players in major league history to have 400 HRs and 300 SBs joining Barry Bonds, Willie Mays, Alex Rodriguez, and Carlos Beltran. Dawson's number was retired in 1997 by the Expos and he was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2010.
Gary Carter (1974-1984, 1992)
In his rookie year of 1975, Carter actually played mostly right field. He finished second in the ROY voting to San Francisco Giants starter John Montefusco. A broken finger limited Carter to 91 games in 1976, but he bounced back strong in 1977. Now a full-time catcher, "The Kid" blasted 31 HRs while starting 143 games behind the plate. From 1977-1984, Carter caught 1,125 games out of the team's 1,229 total games. That's an incredible 91.5%! During that time Carter also managed to slash .275/.346/.477 while averaging 24 HRs and 85 RBI. He finished second to Mike Schmidt in MVP voting in 1980 and won three consecutive Gold Gloves (1980-1982).
After leading the NL in RBI in 1984 with 106, Carter was traded to the New York Mets. Although he won a championship with the Mets in 1986, he was the first Montreal Expos player inducted into the Hall of Fame, in 2003. His number 8 was retired by the Expos in 2003. He ranks sixth all-time with 298 HRs as a catcher. Sadly Carter passed away on February 16, 2012, but he will always be remembered with that smile and childish exuberance of a kid.
Stephen Strasburg (2010- )
Strasburg was the first overall pick in 2009 out of San Diego State. He came up in June of 2010. His career started off great going 5-3 with a 2.91 ERA and a 92/17 K/BB rate in 68 innings. Unfortunately, he tore his UCL and required Tommy John surgery. He made it back for five starts in September of 2011 and picked up where he left off. In 2012, the righty threw 159.1 innings and was shut down in September despite the Nationals making the playoffs. It was a decision that would haunt the Nats as they lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in five games in the NLDS. Strasburg would start 30+ games the next two seasons and established himself as one of the best pitchers in the game.
Although minor injuries would put him on and off the IL over the years, he's managed to be excellent when he pitches. Strasburg's 3.17 career ERA is fourth among active starters with 10+ years in the majors. He has an incredible 4.5/1 K/BB rate and a 1.086 WHIP. His 2019 postseason put him firmly on this monument. Strasburg went 5-0 with a 1.98 ERA, 0.826 WHIP, and a 47/4 K/BB rate. He won the World Series MVP award for the Nationals/Expos franchise in their only Championship appearance.

Caruser.net – The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport vs Toyota Fortuner are the hottest competition in the 7-seater big SUV segment in Asia. Both SUVs are the most reasonable choice for a though family car, since the value for money is quite high considering the features, power, comfort and the prices.
The Fortuner and Pajero Sport (Montero) remain the people choice, especially for the Indonesian consumers as the biggest market for 7-seater cars in South East Asia.
The two big SUVs are more in demand than competitors from other brands. Even though there are numbers of other large SUV options that are even more handsome, sophisticated and powerful like the Hyundai Santa-Fe, KIA Sorento, Isuzu MU-X and Chevrolet Captiva.
The Mitsubishi Pajero Sport excels far in terms of power and torque for the highest type of 4×2, which has 31.4 PS more powerful and 30 Nm more torque. But the Fortuner can achieve maximum power and torque faster because the 150 PS has been reached at 3400 rpm, while the Pajero Sport needs 3500 rpm to reach a maximum power of 181 PS.
The data also illustrates that the Pajero Sport should be faster in accelerating than the Fortuner. While the Fortuner will be more efficient with fuel, because of the smaller engine cubes. The strength of the Fortuner in this case is also the capacity of the larger fuel tank, which means that it has more mileage capabilities.
The new 8-speed transmission of the Pajero Sport also gives an advantage in acceleration, because the gearshift will also be shorter and the car has a longer breath. So that for fans of power and large torque in driving, will prefer Pajero than the Fortuner. But for those who are more concerned with fuel efficiency and mileage, the Fortuner is the choice.
In the middle type, the Toyota Fortuner SRZ type 4×2 2.7L has more 27 PS from the petrol engine than the Pajero Sport Exceed 2.5L. However, the Pajero Sport Exceed with its Diesel engine, it has 82 Nm greater torque than the SRZ Fortuner.
The second performance of this SUV was tested professionally by automotive media, namely AutoBild Indonesia. the test measured how fast the cars acceleration to reach speeds of 100 km/h from a stationary position.
By the test, data was obtained that the New Pajero Sport is superior in acceleration, 0 – 100 km/h was completed in 10.3 seconds, while the New Fortuner took 2.5 seconds longer, which is 12.8 seconds.
The efficiency of fuel consumption is also based on the results of testing carried out by AutoBild, which is fuel consumption for city routes in lower gear and for highway routes when the car is driven at relatively stable high speed.
The test results concluded that the New Fortuner is more fuel efficient than the New Pajero Sport. For the city routes, the Fortuner is able to travel 12.2 km/liter of fuel, while the Pajero is only 12 km. The difference is not significant for stop-and-go routes in city.
But for the highway routes or toll lane, the difference is quite significant, up to 1.6 km/liter for the advantage of the Fortuner. The Pajero Sport travels 14.8 km/liter, while the Fortuner is 16.4 km/liter.
Regarding the features of the Pajero Sport and Fortuner which are related to performance and control, the Pajero Sport is superior because it's equipped with Vehicle Stability Control, while the Fortuner was not equipped with this feature.
The Traction Control feature is also an advantage of the New Pajero Sport over the Fortuner, so the Pajero Sport will be safer to carry off-road or slippery road.

Changes to how you pay to use Warwickshire's country parks - here is what is happening
They are being brought in now
Claire Harrison
The new contactless pay machine at Hartshill Hayes - next to the old cash one.
Sign up to FREE email alerts from CoventryLive - WarwickshireLive
Visitors who use four of Warwickshire's country parks will soon have a new way to pay to park.
As of August 10, people will no longer have to book in advance to use Hartshill Hayes, Kingsbury, Ryton Pools and Pooley Country Parks.
Instead they will have to use new, cashless pay and display machines.
Hartshill Hayes already has its new cashless machine in use and it replaces the now redundant cash-one based nearby.
It means visitors will no longer have to rummage for change to pay to park - something that has caused particular issues at Kingsbury Water Park as cash was needed to get through the barrier.
Warwickshire County County said the changes at the four country parks are part of a two phased move towards more modern, customer friendly operations across all sites.
Sports pavilion to be bulldozed in Nuneaton
Councillor Heather Timms, cabinet member for environment and heritage and culture at Shire Hall, said: "We are committed to making it easy for our residents to get out and enjoy Warwickshire's Country Parks by making them as accessible as possible.
"So, we are moving away from the online booking system for entry into four of our parks and installing cashless pay and display machines. This means that visitors can now simply turn up and buy a ticket without having to book online first."
Regular visitors will still be able to buy parking permits.
Lockdown changes
All of the county council's country park car parks were closed during lockdown and they were only re-opened in May.
The pay before you go system did cause some issues, most notably around Hartshill Hayes as visitors in cars started to park on nearby residential streets, causing traffic problems.

Q: Angularjs timing with a filter and an $http service When my app loads i register a filter and a service with angular.
But the filter is trying to execute before the service comes back with the data so my items collection is barking in the filter.
I had a fiddle for it but i don't know if you can use $http in a fiddle because it is an external resource. Here is what i have Fiddle
Sorry that it doesn't actually work. its been through alot.
I think my issue is timing. I need the filter to wait for the http response or just not 'enforce' itself.
The error i get now is 'items is undefined' cause that is where the filter is being applied.
I did have this working before i tried to mash the http call into a service. But i feel like that is the angular way and i "just want to be in compliance".
When my controller fires it makes the call to fetch data:
eventApi.async().then(function () {
    $scope.eventCollection = eventApi.data();
});

but before it gets back the filter is applied in the html:
 <tr ng:repeat="event in events  | myEventFilter:ddlFilter |
       orderBy:sort.column:sort.descending">

Fiddle

A: Here's a fork of your updated fiddle that fixes a couple missed dependencies (eventApi not injected into the controller, $timeout not injected into the eventApi service). My comments will be based on this code: http://jsfiddle.net/BinaryMuse/zww7e/1/
This fiddle successfully gets us to the issue you posted about: "Cannot read property 'length' of undefined" in your filter. In general, filters should be able to handle null/undefined values by default. I would simply modify the filter to read something like this:
return function (items, eventFilterType) {
  var arrayToReturn = [];
  if (items === undefined) return arrayToReturn;
  // ...
}

That should take care of your root problem; the fiddle now runs without errors, although it doesn't appear to work properly; as far as I can tell, it's because you're setting $scope.eventCollection instead of $scope.events in the if (live) section of your controller. Making this change causes data to actually show up in the view.
However, you may be interested in another property of Angular: when you use a promise built with $q, you can bind the view directly to the promise, and the view will treat it as though you bound it to the resolved value of the promise. So, for example, you can do the following:
// in the service
$timeout(function () {
  deffered.resolve(fakeEvents); // <-- resolve with the data
}, 2000);
return deffered.promise;

// in the controller
if (live) {
  $scope.events = eventApi.async();
}

Here's an updated version of the fiddle that demonstrates this technique: http://jsfiddle.net/BinaryMuse/zww7e/2/
[Update]
As pointed out by Jeff in the comments, Angular is deprecating automatic promise unwrapping; you can see the commit here, but here is the message:

fix($parse): deprecate promise unwrapping and make it an opt-in
This commit disables promise unwrapping and adds
  $parseProvider.unwrapPromises() getter/setter api that allows
  developers to turn the feature back on if needed. Promise unwrapping
  support will be removed from Angular in the future and this setting
  only allows for enabling it during transitional period.
If the unwrapping is enabled, Angular will log a warning about each
  expression that unwraps a promise (to reduce the noise, each
  expression is logged only onces). To disable this logging use
  $parseProvider.logPromiseWarnings(false).
Previously promises found anywhere in the expression during expression
  evaluation would evaluate to undefined while unresolved and to the
  fulfillment value if fulfilled.
This is a feature that didn't prove to be wildly useful or popular,
  primarily because of the dichotomy between data access in templates
  (accessed as raw values) and controller code (accessed as promises).
In most code we ended up resolving promises manually in controllers or
  automatically via routing and unifying the model access in this way.
Other downsides of automatic promise unwrapping:

*

*when building components it's often desirable to receive the   raw promises

*adds complexity and slows down expression evaluation

*makes expression code pre-generation unattractive due to the   amount of code that needs to be generated

*makes IDE auto-completion and tool support hard

*adds too much magic

  BREAKING CHANGE: $parse and templates in general will no longer
  automatically unwrap promises. This feature has been deprecated and if
  absolutely needed, it can be reenabled during transitional period via
  $parseProvider.unwrapPromises(true) api.

Q: Nodemailer envia e-mail mas destinatário não o recebe (servidor hostgator) Tenho um servidor de e-mails no hostgator e uma conta no mesmo. Preciso usar o nodemailer para enviar mensagens para os meus clientes a partir desta conta. Para isso preciso configurar manualmente com essas instruções do hostgator

Já testei todas as combinações possíveis de HOST x PORT no meu código fonte. Todas elas retornam falha de envio, a única configuração que envia o e-mail é esta.
var transporter = nodemailer.createTransport({
    host:"br688.hostgator.com.br",
    port:"465",
    secure: true,
    auth: {
        user: 'atendimento@assistencia-macoffice.com',
        pass: 'XXXXX'
    }
})

No entanto o e-mail não chega ao destinatário, já tentei enviar para diversos e-mails diferentes em varios serviços.

A: O Digital Ocean por padrão bloqueia qualquer envio de e-mail conectado a servidor externo. Logo, se você usa alguma API pra se conectar via SMTP a uma conta do Google, por exemplo, o Digital Ocean não irá permitir. Eles fazem isso para evitar a criação de serviços de spammer.
Caso você solicite, eles poderão fazer o desbloqueio sem problemas, desde que você envie uma mensagem explicando qual o intuito do envio de e-mails, descrevendo em detalhes o objetivo do serviço.
O problema é que mesmo você fazendo isso, ainda é possível enfrentar um novo bloqueio mais cedo ou mais tarde, por parte do provedor de e-mail (ex.: gmail), que não permite o envio automático (via API) de um número excessivo de e-mails.
A maneira que eu recomendo é utilizar o serviço Mailgun (mailgun.com), com ele, você pode mandar até 10.000 mensagens mensais sem custo algum. E ainda pode acompanhar tudo o que é enviado, inclusive tendo estatísticas de cliques, visualizações, criação de campanhas, etc.

A: Tive o mesmo problema, adicionei o parâmetro "name" no createTransport e funciounou. O e-mail ainda é reconhecido como span quando as pessoas recebem, estou tentando resolver esse problema (isso se for possível), segue o exemplo:
let transport = nodemailer.createTransport({
  name: 'no-reply@dominio.com.br',
  host:'mail.dominio.com.br',
  service:'mail.dominio.com.br',
  port:465,
  secure:true,
auth:{
    user: 'no-reply@dominio.com.br',
    pass:'pas123'
}});

Consegui resolver utilizando a sugestão desse outro post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45305050/nodemailer-email-send-but-not-receive

A: Tive um problema com digital ocean que bloqueava a porta SMTP. O email saia beleza mas não era enviado.
Pedi um suporte e eles liberatam. Já era.


Last week we expressed our frustrations. Most of those probably resonated with many youth ministers. Today we keep it short, sweet, and beautifully written. While it is good to struggle together, we must also focus on the joys. Which is what we do today with….
Rev. Alice Cates serves as the Minister to Youth at Chester Baptist Church in Chester, VA (just south of Richmond). She earned her Master of Divinity degree from the Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond, her Master's in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University, her undergraduate degree in Theatre Arts from Campbell University, and was ordained to Christian Ministry at Biltmore Baptist Church in Glen Allen, VA. Alice greatly enjoys laughing out loud, preaching, spending time with her super rad niece and nephew, sunny days in the park, wrangling her bloodthirsty housecat Henrietta, and Netflixing.
Being a part of a weird, smelly, goofy mini-eco-system that makes you feel young and alive and really really old all at the same time.

Indian Railways will soon set up a station in Arunachal Pradesh near the India-China border, Indian defence minister Manohar Parrikar said on Saturday.
"A draft of the MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) is ready and will be signed soon," Parrikar said, adding he has spoken in detail about the project to railway minister Suresh Prabhu.
The defence minister said that the "gravity" of the border issue between China and India has come down as far as Arunachal Pradesh is concerned.


The children in Kejo Kelly's Massachusetts preschool classroom are much like the children in preschool classrooms around the country. The children in an early childhood classroom demand constant attention for the entirety of the school day - including attention to what they are attending to, opportunities for "teachable moments", and, of course, the never-ending string of problem solving and/ or safety situations that present themselves in the early childhood environment on a daily basis, as discussed in the January 2018 New York Times Magazine article "Why Are Our Most Important Teachers Paid the Least?" by Jeneen Interlandi. Furthermore, while these demands are, of course, also laid on teachers of older children, they are put on the early childhood educator for a full day of care, often 8-10 hours, as compared to the 6-7 hours of the elementary school classroom. To make matters more challenging, teachers in this environment are making an average wage of $10/ hour, and less than $30,000/ year.
Why is it that research abounds supporting the importance of Early Childhood Education on brain development and overall lifetime success (see studies related to incarceration, teenage pregnancy, high school and higher education completion rates, rates of poverty, and so forth), and yet the educators entrusted with cultivating our youngest minds are forced to live in poverty?
Currently, in the state of Pennsylvania, where I reside, early childhood programs are reimbursed at an average base rate of less than $25/ day for a full day of care for a preschool-aged child. For a preschool child who is often in child care for a full day (approximately 10 hours), this means that schools are being given $2.50/ hour. While it is true that tiered reimbursement structures based on quality preschool programming increase these rates somewhat- at the highest quality level in Pennsylvania, Keystone Star 4, schools can be reimbursed an additional $9.20/ day- this means that, at most, a childcare center offering a full day of care for a 3-5 year old child can only be reimbursed an average of approximately $36/ day, or $3.60/ hour. At the childcare center where I work in the city of Philadelphia, early childhood programs are reimbursed at a base rate of $32.65/ day for a preschool child, or $3.26/ hour for each child. As a Keystone Star 4 center we are eligible for that additional $9.20/ day- meaning that, at most, we are receiving only $4.18/ hour for each preschool aged child in our care through childcare subsidy in the state of Pennsylvania. Parents would not be able to hire even the least-experienced babysitter for such a low hourly rate.
As a result of the minimal funding offered to early childhood programs, childcare centers are forced to subsidize the cost of care for children with other underfunded government programs, grants, and donations- funding systems that cannot always be relied upon completely. This model of broken funding comes together to create underfunded early childhood centers who struggle to stay afloat as they shell out revenue received to cover the cost of facilities and supplies first, leaving a less-than-ideal amount of money remaining to cover the cost of staff benefits and salaries. See the Research for Action report on child care funding for more information.
Armed with facts, a strong understanding of child development and developmentally appropriate teaching practices, and experience as a classroom teacher, an early childhood program administrator, and as higher education adjunct faculty, I know that I am still at a loss for how to answer the question of professionalizing the early childhood field. Current plans discuss requiring higher education degrees for teachers in this field- a suggestion that I agree with in theory, but struggle with in practice as I have met and worked with incredible educators who lack college credit in teacher preparation and yet are the most engaged with their students throughout the school day and do not have the support- financially, time-wise, or otherwise- to move their credentials forward in this way. As an administrator in a center participating in an early childhood apprenticeship program, as discussed by Interlandi, I see the promise of hands-on teacher preparation, but it is still too soon to tell if it is the solution. Finally, I do know, that as a basis for professionalizing the field, our teachers must be given higher wages, but can't say exactly where that funding will come from, as the gap between current funding for early childhood and the amount needed for quality care is so large.
However, I do know that the first step is making our country - citizens and policymakers alike- aware of what the field of early childhood education means, what impacts it can have on our country's education rates and infrastructure, and what it will take to fund it adequately.

The Striking And Fast Superyacht 'Yaz' Was Born From A 40 Year Old Dutch Frigate's Hull
Designers combined the steel hull of a retired fast frigate with a cutting-edge composite superstructure resulting in a truly one of a kind ship.

Of all the world's superyachts, Yaz stands out as one of the most exotic. The 463 foot long gleaming white and turquoise vessel is intended to resemble a dolphin. It's hard to argue that its designers didn't achieve that goal. But Yaz's slender, sculpted hull didn't emerge from the CAD software at a top naval architect's office, it came from the past—literally. Yaz is built on the hull of the Kortenaer class frigate HNLMS Piet Hein.

HNLMS Piet Hein was the fifth ship in her class and was launched in 1978. The ship displaced 3,900 tons and was equipped with a 'combined gas or gas propulsion' system that allowed for highly efficient loitering and cruise operations by using small, lower powered turbines, while also having the ability to run at high speed with the help of larger gas turbines. This was a particularly relevant setup for submarine hunting operations, which was the Kortenaer class's primary role.
Royal Netherlands Navy/Wikocommons
HNLMS Piet Hein
The Netherlands also built two Jacob van Heemskerck class ships which were basically air defense versions of the Kortenaer class and Germany's Bremen class was based on the Kortenaer class design as well.
The Cold War era Dutch frigates were built tough as it would spend much of its life operating in the rough and unforgiving waters of the North Sea. The class was somewhat of an export success as well with Greece receiving two Kortenaer class ships right off the line. Once the Royal Netherlands Navy moved to retire the type in the late 1990s, they were snapped up by foreign Navies, namely Greece, which bought all but two of them, with the outstanding pair going to the United Arab Emirates.
Hr. Ms. Piet Heyn Facebook Page
Piet Hein during the height of her Navy career with the Royal Netherlands Navy.
The second-hand frigates served with the UAE Navy as Al Emirat and Abu Dhabi for a decade, finally being decommissioned in 2008. But that was not the end of their story. The hulls were in good shape and their hardy qualities and efficient hull-forms made them attractive for repurposing. The fact that prominent UAE royal and politician Hamdan bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was looking for a new pleasure boat and a project to help jumpstart a new shipyard group in Abu Dhabi also helped the prospects for such a project.
Al Emirat while during her decade of service with the UAE Navy.
Al Emirat was the first to begin what would be an incredibly dramatic conversion (look at this crazy pic of her in a half-built state here). Designed by vaunted Pierrejean Design Studio, the project was dubbed Swift141—a name indicating she was to be fast and 141 meters long—during its development and reconstruction. The vessel that had worn two other names in its past would reemerge from Abu Dhabi's ADMShipyards after three years of work as Yaz—one of the world's largest, fastest, and certainly most unique superyachts. But it wouldn't be until 2015 that she would be fully outfitted and delivered in a fully operational state.
I wish I could post a large series of pictures or videos showing what is surely the incredible interior of this frigate turned superyacht, but there aren't any images available. This isn't really surprising when you consider who owns the vessel and that it is not available for charter. But we do have a couple renderings from Pierrejean Design Studio of what it is supposed to look like.
Most notable is the master suite, which, judging by the rendering, sits just below the bridge as part of the glazed superstructure. One can only imagine what the view from the stars to the horizon would be like at night as you drift off to sleep in your futuristic floating palace.
500 individual pieces of specially formed reinforced glass were required to complete the ship's superstructure. It was one of the program's most challenging aspects.
pierrejean-design.com
The owner's suite looks like it belongs on a starship instead of a yacht. It is totally self-contained and private. A Forward door opens up to private deck overlooking the bow.
We also don't know exactly what the ship is capable of performance wise. The Kortenaer class were fast ships, able to hit speeds in excess of 30 knots. But even though her powerplant was swapped for a far less powerful, but more conventional system, the ship's slender hull should provide high efficiency and good stability. Many state that the vessel can do 26 knots and cruise efficiently just a few knots slower on a pair of MTU 10,500hp diesel engines. Her original powerplant configuration was way more powerful, but she would have had a much larger displacement while serving as a surface combatant.
In fact, Yaz's superstructure is made almost entirely out of lightweight composite materials which helps dramatically in keeping weight down to improve performance. You can read all about this huge and unprecedented undertaking here and in this downloadable powerpoint. It's even claimed that the ship, in its new configuration, can be considered 'green'—everything is relative in the superyacht world. If she really can hit nearly her original design speed on a fraction of the horsepower, this claim is true.
JFCI Composites
The ship's steel hull is mated to an all-composite superstructure.
The frigate's hull was upgraded with bow thrusters and stabilizers during her transformation from Al Emirat to Yaz. The photo below shows these features and it also gives us a better idea of just how gorgeous the hull on this ship really is. No wonder they used it as the foundation for an exotic and highly expensive superyacht.
Here's another really nice view of the vessel's remodeled hull-form.
Yaz, which one would assume is named after its owner's son who has the same name, may not appeal to everyone aesthetically speaking, but I think it is absolutely gorgeous. Just doing something creative and different while still delivering a strong set of features and an overall logical design is no easy task. Combine that with recycling an old frigate's hull with the goal of achieving extreme performance, not to mention pulling off something that works both visually and operationally, and you have one amazing accomplishment that differentiates itself from pretty much everything else in the superyacht world. And what's so cool about Yaz's design is that the hull-form really does pull the entire concept together and doesn't conflict with the ship's ultra-modern superstructure. For how bulbous it is in some places it still looks like it was born to slice through the seas.
With what was likely a very steep learning curve building Yaz now under ADMShipyards' belt, one would think her sister hull, the ex-Abu Dhabi, would be under construction. Somewhat different in design, this project is named Swift135. Here are the renderings of it:
The design represents a more of a conventional affair than its dolphin-like sister ship. Overall it appears less sleek and is more of a modern take on classical yacht designs. It also doesn't feature the added streamlined stern extension found on Yaz. But at this time it isn't clear if the project is underway or if it is still even a possibility. In satellite imagery, the last date we see the stripped hull of the proposed Swift131 outside ADMShipyards is in late October 2013. Since then it is nowhere in the vicinity. It could have been towed somewhere for prep work, but it has been half a decade and still no sign of it at the shipyards.
The last satellite image we see the second frigate hull in at ADMShipyards in Abu Dhabi.
We don't know how much Yaz actually cost. A royal customer supporting the country's own shipbuilding enterprise is one thing, but finding an external customer for a follow-on project may have proven to be a challenge. And a buyer spending hundreds of millions of dollars may just want something totally new regardless of the advantages of converting an existing hull. It's also possible that the second hull could be under construction elsewhere too. We just don't know at this time.
Currently, Yaz is the world's 11th largest yacht and when it comes to luxury and amenities, it delivers. It features a pool, spa, multiple saloons and entertainment areas, as well as all the other toys you would find on a top superyacht. Yaz also has an oversized helipad that is usually occupied by a white AW139 and its entertainment system is supposedly the most advanced in the world.
She sails with a complement of about 60 and can accommodate as many guests. Due to her frigate hull, she is adept at quickly crossing oceans but seems to usually spend her time in the Mediterranean with visits to the Persian Gulf.
So there you have it, the truly one of kind Yaz— a highly innovative design that blends the old with the new and the tactical with the incredibly impractical, all in a beautifully seamless and effective manner.

The Berkeley School of Theology (BST) is a Baptist theological institute in Berkeley, California. It is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA. It is part of the Graduate Theological Union, a consortium of theological schools and centers in the Berkeley area.

History
The earliest roots of Berkeley School of Theology lie in the chartering of California College, Vacaville, in 1871. In 1887  the college moved to Oakland, and in 1912 to Berkeley, at which time it changed its name to Berkeley Baptist Divinity School (BBDS), keeping this name until 1968. In 1915, BBDS merged with the Pacific Coast Baptist Theological Seminary, which had begun in Oakland in 1890 and had moved to Berkeley in 1904. In 1968, BBDS merged with California Baptist Theological Seminary (founded in 1944 in Los Angeles, and located in Covina since 1951). To reflect the fact that the school was no longer wholly in Berkeley, it was renamed the American Baptist Seminary of the West, but six years later the Covina faculty moved to the Berkeley campus, effecting considerable cost savings and at the same time availing themselves of the resources of the Graduate Theological Union. In July 2020, ABSW changed its name again to Berkeley School of Theology.

Academics
BST offers a wide range of programs from specialized certificates, accredited Master of Divinity (M.Div.), Master of Community Leadership (MCL), a fully-online Master of Theological Studies (MTS) and Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) degrees. Jointly with the Graduate Theological Union, BST offers an accredited Master of Arts (MA). BST also participates with the Graduate Theological Union in offering the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree.

Christmas in Paris or Christmas in Strasbourg?
Today Pierre of French Moments joins me to talk about Christmas in Paris and the difference between Christmas in the North East of France and the rest of the country.
In this episode we talk about the best Christmas Markets in Paris. The top one we mention, the one on the Champs Elysées, was cancelled in 2017, but will return in 2018. It will not be held exactly in the same place. Instead of the Champs Elysées, you'll have to go to the Tuileries Garden.
The city of Paris asked that this market feature higher quality vendors (no cheap @#$ from China), time will tell if they deliver on that demand.
There are wonderful window displays in Paris starting late November. Annie's favorites are the one at Printemps and Gallerie Lafayette on Boulevard Hausmann. For the Galleries Lafayette you have to go inside the store to see the dome decoration. At Printemps it's all about the window-shopping. Those two stores are really close to each other, you should see them both.
The themes change every year and are always really creative. One year it was Christmas Tale from 1911 celebrating their 150th year of Christmas Celebrations. Galerie Fayette had the theme of Christmas from another Planet, linked with the release of Star Wars.
In this episode we also talk extensively about the Christmas Markets in the Alsace Region. Pierre has visited and shares his best tips so you can go straight to the best ones.
Bonjour! One question please, on what date do the Christmas markets close/end? My Wife and I are arriving in Paris on December 26th and staying for 10 days. Do the markets continue through new years day or will we miss them all? Thank you!


Employee Handbooks: Are They Still Effective?
The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that employers may not change employee handbooks or other personnel policies, under certain circumstances, unless the employees accepted the proposed changes and were compensated for the policy modification. Demasse v. ITT Corp.
If the employees had to exhaust the complaint procedure described in the handbook before they could sue for breach of contract.
First, the Court decided that if a reasonable person would interpret a handbook policy as a promise, then that term was an "implied contract" that could not be unilaterally modified by ITT. The Court assumed that the ITT handbook was a contract. Second, the Court held that, if a handbook's complaint procedure is mandatory for termination-related grievances, failure to exhaust the procedure will preclude a terminated employee from filing a lawsuit.
Handbook disclaimers are now required to avoid claims under your handbook. In the absence of good disclaimers, certain employment policies or assurances may not be modified without giving employees something of value for their consent to the change. It does not mean that at-will and contract disclaimers are now void. Indeed, they may be preferred.
Are employers trapped with outdated handbooks or policies?
No. This case does not nullify all changes to employee handbooks or automatically turn each employment policy into a binding contract. Employers may still add, alter, and rescind employment policies by providing notice and value to employees for the changes. This case is significant but it is not a cause for alarm. It only impacts handbook provisions that are binding contractual terms.
What are some examples of handbook terms that create contractual terms?
Any statement that conveys a promise may be considered binding. Old and new provisions pertaining to job security, pay, vacation time, layoff preferences and benefits should be carefully analyzed in light of this case.
What are some examples of non-contractual policies?
Information pertaining to the company's mission, the dress code, job duties, and policies regarding opening and closing hours, is non-promissory and non-binding.
What should I do as a result of this case?
Whether the company retains a copy of policies that are revised.
Assuming my employee handbook contains promissory language that I have altered over time, may any employee sue to enforce the old terms?
No. Employees may only sue to enforce the terms of the handbook which were in effect at the times of their hiring. For example, if in 1990, you promised all employees one month of vacation, and in 1995, you reduced that benefit to two weeks, those employees who worked for you prior to 1995 may be able to sue you to enforce the one month vacation benefit if you made that change without giving them something in exchange for their acceptance of the new policy. There may also be statute of limitations defenses, but this was not addressed by the Court.
What do I have to offer employees in exchange for modifying or rescinding promissory language?
Examples include new policies providing for alternative dispute resolution, a 30 day notice for termination, or continuation of certain fringe benefits that were previously unavailable to terminated employees may be examples. A bonus or pay increase would also suffice.
In light of this case, how do I effectively change the contractual terms in my employee handbook?
evidence of something of value given to the workers in exchange for their consent.
Legally adequate notice is more than the employee's awareness of or receipt of the newest handbook. An employee "must be informed of any new term, aware of its impact on the pre-existing contract, and affirmatively consent to it to accept the offered modification." A plain language explanation of any and all policy changes should be attached to the modifications and distributed to all affected employees. Businesses that employ a significant number of non-English speaking workers, should consider publishing the policy and explanations in the appropriate languages.
This case may present some unfortunate practical implications for employers. Policy modifications are not automatically enforceable, and the burden will remain on the employer to show that the employee accepted the proposed change with an understanding of its impact on the underlying contract. At a minimum, it is time to evaluate all handbooks and policies to determine if Demasse creates any issues.

A bit more of a distance shot from yesterday's in your face owl. I've no idea what the big fuss was that morning, but there was a lot of hissing and clicking and ferocity going on!
Magnificent. If a bit early with the Hogwarts acceptance letter.


On the same day that the letter of administration and bond were made, 4 April 1787, the judge appointed three men to take the inventory of Joseph Alden's estate: Joshua White, Esq., Seth Eaton, yeoman, and Silas White, yeoman, all of Middleborough.
The original inventory is in the probate file and a copy is in the copybook, which can be easier to read but should be compared to the original when one exists. In the copybook version in this case, the real estate was subtotaled, showing the curious fact that Joseph's personal estate totaled £106.2s.2d. and his real estate totaled £106.10s.
Joseph's real estate is itemized: 15 acres pasturage in the "Four Score Acre Lot," 12 acres pasturage "joining Elnathan Woods Land," a small piece of cedar swamp, 7 acres of pasturage "which belonged to the Estate of [his son] Ebr Alden, late of Middlebo deceased," and a lot of unimproved land "lying in the County of Cumberland [Maine]." From deeds we learn that Joseph had already sold all of his other land, including the farm his father had given him, to his sons Abner and Eliab in May 1781.
Three pieces of "property" other than land are included: a pew (location not given), a pew at "Mr. Gurney's meeting House," and a horse shed (probably near the meeting house – parishioners who came from a distance to church were allowed to build shelter for their horses to stand in during the services). Parishioners owned their pews in the church and they could be inherited and sold.
On 2 March 1789, Abner Alden submitted an account (which is in the probate file, but not the copybook) that included funeral charges, costs for his travel to the probate court, payment to the appraisers, payments to six doctors, provisions for the family and the livestock, state taxes paid, costs of recovering debts owed to the estate, and debts paid by the estate. This totaled £45.12s.8d. and Abner reported that in addition to the £106.2s.2d. of personal estate in the inventory, he had collected £109.7s.2d. in debts with £62.14s.6d. still due to the estate.
Often the probate includes division of the real property and/or allocation of both personal property and cash among the heirs as directed by the judge or by a committee of three men appointed by the judge, but in this case, there is nothing about how the estate was divided. Turning to deeds again, we find that on 29 August 1789 the widow Deborah Alden (step-mother to the Alden children) quitclaimed her dower rights in the estate for £34.17s.2d. This deed identifies the heirs as Abner and Eliab Alden, both of Middleboro; Lewis Hall and his wife Fear, Lois Alden, Orpha Alden, and Polly Alden, all of Raynham; Hannah Alden of Bridgewater; and the minor children of Ebenezer (Joseph, Ruth, and Ebenezer Alden under the guardianship of their maternal grandfather, Joshua Fobes, and paternal uncle, Abner Alden).
In August 1811, when two Alden cousins, Noah and Amasa Alden, needed to clear title to "a certain strip of land from Seth Eaton's house to near the house of Levi Murdock," they acquired a quitclaim from some of Joseph's heirs: Abner Alden of Bristol, Rhode Island; Elias Alden of Cairo, New York; Lewis Hall and wife Fear of Raynham; and Samuel Paddleford and wife Lois of Taunton, for a total of $10. These quit claims from scattered family members may be some of the best discoveries any genealogist can find.
Next, we will conclude with a look at guardianship records.
 Refer to Esther Littleford Woodworth-Barnes, comp., and Alicia Crane Williams, ed., Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, Volume 16, Part I, John Alden (Plymouth, Mass.: General Society of Mayflower Descendants, 1997), 379-80, and the sources cited therein for more details.
Great series! After carefully reading estate settlement documents on my Seward line, a division of property in 1845 in Ohio turned out to be very interesting. The division stated that one of the girls was entitled to an equal share of property, like the other children. However, prior to reading the document, it was not clear that she was indeed a daughter, but perhaps a grand daughter as her birth was not recorded like other siblings. There is still some question because she could have been an illegitimate daughter of one of the sons, which at this point is likely, also based on her birth year. It is complex, but the fact that she was awarded an equal share of property, and that one of the sons (who could have been her father) declined to receive his share, is certainly interesting. There were lawsuits of brother vs. brother as part of this situation as well. Ah, the intrigue!
I also look forward to the guardianship record post.
Carole, in the list of family members receiving bequests from my 5th great grandfather, was one daughter who wasn't listed in any other document. I finally found her to be the widow of his deceased son.
Probate records sometimes can solve the mystery around colonial military deaths. In two cases of men who have no death record in town vital records, the probate records–in one case the deceased's wife's accepting administration, and in the other the siblings' quitclaim deed of their brother's estate–told the campaign in which they died, and for one even the date and name of the battle (Battle of the Snowshoes). My reaction in both cases was– OMG!!!!!! What a thrill!
But what is the reason for 18th century military deaths not being reflected in a town's records?
Everybody must have known eventually. Seems pretty cold. Any possible explanations?
Eileen, many possible explanations. One of the most likely is that because they did not die in the town and the clerk had no official notice of the death, he did not enter it on his records.
Thanks, Alicia. I suppose that is the case. There are two local records of young men who died in military service–one "in the spainish expedition…as they hear…in the island of Jamaica" in 1740, and the other "in his majesties service up Mohawk River" in 1759. But there were so many others who served from this community in the colonial wars.
And thank you for doing these series on probates and deeds. You are answering so many questions. Looking forward to info on guardianships.

Sunbury Chapter NSDAR
Daughters of the American Revolution Winder, Georgia
Our Chapter
Welcome to the Sunbury Chapter NSDAR!
The Sunbury Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) received its charter on April 21, 1921. Mrs Max Land, State Regent of the Georgia Society, gave the Chapter the name of Sunbury which comes from the town of Revolutionary fame, located inland between Brunswick and Savannah. Sunbury was the home of Doctor Lyman Hall and Button Gwinnett, both signers of the Declaration of Independence. The names of Sunbury Chapter, Juniors of Sunbury, Junior American Citizens Clubs, and Mrs. J. H. Pledger, a Sunbury Chapter member, have been inscribed on the Bell Tower at Valley Forge. Also, of note is the chair which was placed in Constitution Hall in honor of Sunbury's first two Regents. In 1943, Colonel James Dala Watson built and presented to the Sunbury Chapter NSDAR a beautiful granite Chapter House. A portrait of Colonel Watson hangs in prominence today in this house which was named, "Watson Hall," in honor of its generous benefactor. From 1921 until the present, the Sunbury Chapter NSDAR has progressed in membership, Americanism, community service, and the pursuit of national defense. The genealogical records and records of service are among her richest inherited possessions.

Coronavirus infects New Orleans journalism conference attendee
By Madeline Farber | Fox News
Dr. Marc Siegel: Get tested for coronavirus if experiencing shortness of breath, prominent fever
Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel tells 'America's Newsroom' the best time to get tested for the coronavirus.
A person who attended a journalism conference in New Orleans last week has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
In a statement, officials with the Investigative Reporters & Editors (IRE) with the Missouri School of Journalism in Columbia said one of its members who attended The National Institute for Computer-Assisted Reporting (NICAR) 2020 conference in New Orleans last week has tested presumptively positive for the novel virus, or COVID-19. The IRE on Tuesday said the final results were pending from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
CORONAVIRUS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
"IRE is notifying conference attendees now so that individuals can make their own decisions on how best to proceed," officials said in a statement.
"The attendee traveled from within the United States to the conference in New Orleans and was present from Thursday (March 5) until Saturday afternoon (March 7). Based on the onset of the limited symptoms, they could have contracted the virus either before, during or after the conference. Symptoms can appear within two to 14 days of exposure, and in some cases do not appear at all," reads the statement.
The attendee, who was not identified, has "mild symptoms and is expected to make a full recovery," IRE officials said. He or she is in self-quarantine at their home, where they will remain for the next 14 days.
More than 1,000 people attended the conference, which took place at the Marriott hotel on Canal Street, according to local news station WBRZ-2.
"The attendee has been reaching out today to people they had close contact with during the conference. In addition, IRE is notifying individuals who participated in a pre-registered hands-on class with the attendee," per the statement.

Reporters from the Raleigh News & Observer, the Charlotte Observer, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Fresno Bee, the Miami Herald, and other publications attended the conference, the Miami Herald reported.
The number of cases of the novel coronavirus in the U.S. surpassed 1,000 on Tuesday evening. More than 30 states have been affected by the virus, which began at a live animal and seafood market in the city of Wuhan, China.

The Jean Bishop Integrated Care Centre (ICC) in Hull was officially opened on Friday 6th July 2018 during the week the NHS celebrates its 70th birthday.
This innovative new facility, the first of its type in the UK, was opened by Jean Bishop, Hull's Bee Lady, in front of 100 guests, and is set to transform care for older people in Hull by providing out of hospital care, reducing unnecessary hospital admissions, enabling residents to keep fit, healthy and living independently in their own homes.
In a new and unique approach to health and care, the groundbreaking services and new clinically led team will primarily treat 12,000 frail older people in Hull with long term conditions who have been assessed by their GP as being at risk of hospital admission.
The Centre has a comprehensive specialist team including Older People's Consultants/Geriatricians, Advance Nurse Practitioners, GPs, Pharmacists, Therapists, Social Workers and the voluntary sector. There are diagnostics at the centre enabling the team to undertake blood tests, x-rays and in the future CT scans.
"We wanted the centre to be welcoming and warm and have had great feedback so far. It enhances the healing environment, it's relaxed, calm and dementia friendly. It's about working together to agree and deliver the best care for the patient".
The centre, which sits on the site of the former David Lister School in East Hull has been open since May 2018. In the longer term the aim is to reduce unplanned admissions by up to 20%. This has been forecasted to save the NHS up to £5.8 million, which the CCG says it could then reinvest in new services.
Humberside Fire and Rescue also has an operational fire station on site and provide a falls response team as well as responding to other fire and rescue incidents. Discussions are underway to explore the crews also supporting rehabilitation and recovery of patients.
The NHS Hull CCG Board has chosen to recognise the outstanding contribution of Jean Bishop, Hull's 'Bee Lady', a 96-year-old champion fundraiser for older people, by naming the ICC after her. Jean is a Freeman of the City of Hull, was awarded a British Empire Medal earlier this year, and has individually raised more than £125,000 for Age UK.
"We know people don't want to be in hospital unless they absolutely need to be. We have listened to this and have developed a fantastic new facility that can support people to remain independent wherever possible.
"The Jean Bishop Integrated Care Centre will be incredibly important for this area and I am delighted to see the scheme come to fruition.
"It is fantastic to celebrate the remarkable partnership between the NHS, local authority, fire and rescue service, and all of the other providers at the grand opening of the Jean Bishop Integrated Care Centre.
"Whilst creating flexible estate solutions, it is about giving the NHS the best quality and designing a building which can be flexible around services for decades to come.

What computer have to I buy to run Minecraft?
This is a regularly-asked question, and similar queries have come from Jo (seven-12 months-antique son, £450 budget), Lauren (13-year-old son), Ronda (12-12 months-antique daughter), and Natalie (11-year-old son, £200 to £250 budget). I replied a great deal the identical query in December last 12 months (What's the fine cheap computer for jogging Minecraft?), in December 2015 (What's the high-quality pc for jogging Minecraft?) and earlier. The principles have not been modified so that you may still locate them beneficial. However, the goods trade, which is why the question maintains coming up.
PC or now not?
Gaming laptops?
Possible choices Advertisement
None of these processors is intended for gaming or any extreme computing.
The primary edition of Minecraft is written in Java, so it runs on PCs running Microsoft Windows, Apple's macOS, and Linux. Most parents want the equal gadget to cover schoolwork and other necessities on a price range, so they usually opt for Windows. There's additionally a "pocket" or Bedrock Edition of Minecraft that runs on Windows 10, games consoles, pills, Gear VR, Apple TV, and Amazon's Fire TV. Many players need the principle version because the Bedrock model does not aid "mods" or modding structures such as Pixelmon.
Mojang continues to be busy programming the Bedrock Edition to add among the primary model's skills, however, without its performance being sandbagged by Java. There are already Add-Ons, Resource Packs, and Scenarios to change Minecraft's look and behavior. Bedrock is still a few ways from the Java version. Nonetheless, walking Minecraft as a Windows 10 app is one way to run it on a less powerful laptop whilst still having a good system for college paintings. The contemporary Windows 10 Minecraft is available as an unfastened trial app at the Windows Store, so it's worth a go. You can always deploy the entire model later.
Most critical games can eat as many resources as you can throw at them, and Minecraft isn't an exception. Unfortunately, Minecraft also has to run the Java "virtual device" (JVM) that runs the Minecraft code. Today's walking Minecraft objectives are a noticeably latest Intel Core i5 or i7 or equivalent processor, 8GB of memory, a 128GB SSD, and a fifteen.6in Full HD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. By "quite recent," I mean a 5th technology Core chip, or later. (We're presently moving to 8th generation versions.)
In every case, extra is better. The extra power will give you higher frame fees, longer rendering distances, more textures, and so on, and the potential to run more mods. You must still be capable of running Minecraft pretty nicely on the latest Core i3 with 4GB of memory, either a 64GB SSD or a traditional tough drive, and a 1366 x 768 display screen. However, you may dial back some graphical effects.
However, you should still be capable of running Minecraft on much less powerful machines if you use the lowest settings and deploy the Optifine mod to get a usable frame fee. (I expect everybody will installation Optifine on something they buy.) I've searched for laptops with committed graphics cards with their own 2GB or extra video RAM in previous years. Today's mainstream laptops use the processor's incorporated pix abilities and the PC's major reminiscence instead. This makes it a good idea to shop for a computing device PC than a computer for running Minecraft and other games.
Desktop towers have masses of room for enthusiasts to use hotter processors that run faster than the laptop equivalents. Even reasonably-priced chips like the Intel Pentium G4560 come to be possible. Many desktops also have committed photo cards, and if they don't, you can, in all likelihood, install one in an empty expansion slot. (Check the improved options earlier than you buy.)
Most of the laptops that also have committed photographs cards are now described as "gaming laptops," and that they bust your price range. For example, Currys PC World has an HP Pavilion Power 15-bc350sa with a Core i7-7500U processor, 8GB of reminiscence, a 1TB tough force, an Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M for £679.Ninety-nine. That's no longer a pocket money fee. HP's real "gaming computer" is the Omen, which you can get with a GeForce GTX 1050 for £799.99.
Manufacturers used to sell moderately less expensive laptops with dedicated portrait cards, but the one's days appear to have long passed. You can hunt around for second-hand gaming laptops. However, those aren't the stock in alternate of professional refurbishing groups. By and large, they promote ex-corporate "fleet computer systems," which include ThinkPads, HP Elitebooks, and Dell Latitudes. If you decide to move to a refurbished device, an Elitebook is probably the great bet.
Having removed game machines, we're left with mainstream laptops. The traditional suspects encompass Lenovo's one hundred ten and 320 fashions, HP Pavilions, and Asus VivoBooks. Take your pick out. The best specification I can discover within a £500 price range is the Lenovo Ideapad 80XL035QUK, which has an i5-7200U, 8GB of reminiscence, a 2TB tough pressure, and a 1920 x 1080 screen for £499.99.
There is plenty of various Ideapad 310, 320, and 320S fashions round, and many of them have 128GB SSD. Unfortunately, the maximum of these simplest has 4GB memories and 1366 x 768 monitors. You can boom the reminiscence, but they typically have only one memory slot. You have to get rid of the 4GB and insert an 8GB module (over £80), in preference to simply adding 4GB (around £45). Switching to a 16GB module ought to fee more or less £one hundred sixty-five.
The IdeaPad 310-15ISK remains properly fed at £329.95 from John Lewis for a person in a smaller price range. Even though you could find different resources by searching for 80SM01MAUK, it has a nippy Core i3-6100U processor, 4GB of reminiscence, a 1TB tough pressure, and a 1366 x 768-pixel screen. The seventh-generation i3-7100U isn't definitely any quicker. Currys PC World has a similar laptop with a slower Core i3-6006U processor for £299.98. This chip has a PassMark benchmark rating of 3131, close to it now, not beneath the minimum required to run full Minecraft properly. In fact, it's better to have a chip that scores over 4000. For comparison, the cutting-edge Intel Core i7-8700K ratings 16274.
There are multiple 14in machines, which might be really worth considering for their 128GB SSD. The HP Pavilion 14-bp070sa has a Core i5-7200U processor, 4GB of memory, and a 1920 x 1080-pixel display screen for £449. The Asus VivoBook X405 is a nicer computer for £20, much less, but it best gives a Core i3-7100U. Going below £300 involves a huge discount in processing energy, except you can locate a reduced good deal. The options encompass the gradual AMD A6-9220 (PassMark 2368), the slower Intel Pentium N4200 (PassMark 2002), the Intel Celeron N3160 (PassMark 1695), and the Celeron N3060 (PassMark 990).
The real problem is that if you keep on with my recommended minimum of 4GB of reminiscence, even low-quit computer systems are not especially reasonably-priced. For instance, a 14 HP 14-bp066sa with a Celeron N3060 and 64GB of eMMC storage – that is slower than an SSD – costs £249 at Currys PC World. You are giving up a whole lot of processor velocity and storage area to shop for £50. It's without a doubt now not worth it.
Dropping from an IdeaPad 320-14ISK with an i3-6006U processor (£299.Ninety eight) to an IdeaPad 320-14IAP with a Pentium N4200 (£279.Ninety nine) best save £20. The result is that I can't endorse today's low-give up machines for playing the overall version of Minecraft, even supposing – as referred to above – they can run it at the bottom settings with Optifine. The "pocket" or Bedrock Edition could be a better bet, or even that would run higher on a brand new or 2nd-hand Xbox One.
If you couldn't justify spending around £300, you can take a flyer at the Linx 12X64, which is now available for around £two hundred. Eligible mothers and fathers, and college students can get it for £179—Ninety-nine from Microsoft. The Linx 12X64 is a 12.5in pill with a detachable keyboard and a gradual Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor (PassMark 1314), so it's no person's concept of a video games machine. However, as a minimum, it has 4GB of memory and 64GB of the garage, so it's now not as cramped as maximum extremely-reasonably-priced machines that have 2GB and 32GB. It even has a Full HD 1920 x 1080-pixel screen. I determined it a respectable and dependable device at its original £299.99, so deducting £a hundred makes it a piece of a bargain.
