This week we had a friend ask us how we can travel so much and I realized many others probably have that same question. Unfortunately there is no one quick answer and there is no secret that allows us to travel. We wrote a post recently about how we do family travel on a budget.
Traveling budget style is one of the ways we can afford to take so many trips. We prioritize travel above almost anything else because we believe wholeheartedly in the benefits of travel for kids. We don't eat out often, we drive one old car, we limit spending on non-essential items and are generally thrifty. Combine that with lots of research to find travel deals, traveling in developing countries and being flexible about where and when we go, and we manage to travel quite a bit. Read my full post on how we plan our travels.
But every one's situation is different and it isn't easy to see the world when you only have 2 weeks of holiday. We brainstormed a list of ways to travel more as a family. Some are more drastic and entail making major lifestyle changes and others are small adjustments that maintain your lifestyle.
If you are looking to hear from families that are traveling more and how they finance their travels, check out the Family Adventure Podcast. We have been fans of this show since they started and we love how Erik asks each interviewee how they can do it and how they can afford it.
Most people want to travel more, but it is often jobs and finances that hold them back. Our goal is to show you creative ways that you can travel more.

UPDATE: Since this article was so popular, we have spun it into a case study series where every fortnight, we interview a family using one of the below approaches to travel more together. If your goal is more travel, but you just can't figure out how to make it happen, these posts are for you. They are hugely inspirational, but also give you the information to make it happen in your own life.
We learn from a young age the path that we should take throughout life: finish school, start work, get married, have kids, retire. But why do we have to follow that pattern? Why should we spend the best and healthiest years of our lives working with the hope of doing everything we want to do once we retire?
We are big fans of "The 4 Hour Work Week" where Tim Ferriss advocates not waiting for retirement, but taking mini-retirements throughout your life. I see so many families online now that are taking 1 year RTW (round the world) trips with their kids; a mid-life mini-retirement. They want to travel with their kids, instead of waiting until the kids are all grown up.
In 2015, we took 6 months off of our jobs and spend that time traveling with the kids. Yes, we missed six months of moving ahead in our careers and paying down our mortgage, but we gained so much more. We spent those months sailing a small boat throughout the Bahamas and traveling in Central America. We spent our days together as a family and our kids learned more through our travels then they ever could in a classroom.
How you can take a sabbatical?
Ask your employer if you can take a year off? Will they hold your job for you? Increasingly employers are realizing the benefit of these leaves where employees return refreshed. In fact in Australia, after 10 years many employees are entitled to a paid long term service leave of 2 months.
Some public and unionized workplaces allow employee-funded leaves. Typically you will work 4 years at 80% of your salary and then you have the fifth year off, but still receive 80% of your salary. This is an excellent way to fund a year-long adventure.
How to fund a sabbatical/gap year?
I realize the idea of taking a year off without any income coming in is really scary. It is breaking from the rat race progression. Many families that take a gap year, save for years to finance their time away. By making simple lifestyle changes like taking the bus to work, cutting out expensive coffees, and reducing spending on non-essentials, you can add to your travel kitty. Other families choose to sell their homes and belongings to fund a long trip. It may seem counter-intuitive, but remortgaging your house or taking out a loan may make sense.
Where is the World, Great videos too!
Many countries allow either parent to take paid or unpaid parental leave, making it a great time to travel. Yes, the thought of traveling with a young baby can be daunting, but there are so many families traveling with little ones these days, even in remote and exotic locations. In fact, I think traveling with a baby is a great age because they are so portable.
When my brother and his wife had their first child, they used their parental leaves to spend 3 months traveling between Canada and Mexico by campervan. Their daughter was 6 months at the time time and of course there were challenges, but it was an amazing trip.
When we had our first child, we used the opportunity to travel to Europe and Turkey for a month.
This is one of the cute villages around late Atitlan… Those little tuk tuks rip around the streets, up hills and along dirt tracks. It's pretty impressive.. The streets are lined with little stalls, all of them have oodles of colourful textiles. Not to mention the cute cafes and many tortilla stalls. Latin America eat your heart out!!.. it was such a pleasure to collaborate with @hoteltoliman whilst we were there. They give SO much back to the community. Like so many things. They have a house for women fleeing domestic violence and they allow kids with physical disabilities to have their weekly therapy in the pool. The lady that owns it is the most intriguing Guatemalan women. She has done so much voluntary work in her life .. I can't wait to do the write-up.. 💜✈🌎 would you visit Lake Atitlan?
🗓3 months 🌏4 countries📍13 destinations 💛Countless joyful moments.
When we tell people that we have worked and lived overseas in Malaysia and Australia, they envision that we were sent on these assignments by Paul's work. In fact, in both cases emails went out that they were looking for people to work in those locations and Paul was quick to put his hand up.
Working overseas provides a great opportunity to explore a different area of the world and really get to know a different country. We find that when we are living somewhere new, we are so eager to see and do everything in our new country. In Australia, this has led to camping trips in the nearby area once or twice a month and making sure we see all the special events happening in Melbourne.
Seek out opportunities with your employer about an overseas assignment or transfer. Often opportunities exist, you just have to go looking for them.
There also might be exchange opportunities available to you. For teachers in Canada, they can often organize an exchange to another country. While you would still be working, you have the opportunity to live in a different country and explore that area.
It's the Taj Mahal again! 😂 I may have told a porkie when I said the last Taj pic was the very last 😜 Want to know how we got a photo with us all standing infront and no one else around? Although our boys still managed to pull funny faces 🙈 Check out our NEW POST – Visiting the Taj Mahal with young kids – link in the bio. Also includes tips on when to go, which gate to use, managing inevitable selfie-requests and how all family members can appreciate it in their own way.
If you travel for work, can you add on a holiday to it? Can you fly out your family to join you? You won't have to pay for your airfare, hotel or meals, so the cost can be drastically less. Find a conference in a location you want to visit and pitch that to your company. Paul attended a conference in Monterrey, California one year and there was no question about me tagging along. Of course we added a few days after the conference to explore the coast.
When I was a kid my Dad traveled a lot for work and he took me on a couple of Business trips. One time I got to go to Whistler (Canada) with him and we ran into Arnold Schwarzenegger in the elevator!
Before we had kids, we came home from a 3 week trip to Australia and realized how much money we spend to get to a destination. Wouldn't it be great if we could spend longer away, to really make use of the cost of getting there? This was the discussion that led to our 6-month trip to Africa and Southeast Asia in 2006.
We had just purchased a house, were progressing in our jobs and starting to think about kids. But we yearned to travel more too. I didn't have a permanent teaching contract yet, but Paul just asked his employer for the time off unpaid. Sure, they probably didn't love the idea, but don't be scared to ask. That trip cost us just over $20k all in. We used savings to fund that trip and I have no qualms about spending that money on that amazing trip. We organized a similar arrangement in 2015 when we took 6 months off with the kids.
Have a pitch prepared for your employer about why they should grant you an unpaid leave. They can save a lot of money in salary and will receive a refreshed and energized employee on return. You can offer to work hourly as needed too in order to maintain client contact and earn some income.
With the increasing role of technology in our workplaces and the acceptance of working from home, the logical next step is becoming location independent. The digital nomad craze is spreading quickly and many employees are able to continue to work for their employers from anywhere in the world. This is a lifestyle we often dream about.
Not just for those in the IT fields anymore, there are many employees and entrepreneurs working from Bali, Thailand or Mexico. Even if you prefer to stay in your home community, the ability to leave behind the winter for a couple of months is pretty appealing.
In the 4 hour workweek, Tim Ferriss advocates for employees to gradually start working from home more to get your employer used to the idea that you are just as productive out of the office as you are in.
Even if you can't work online, could you get a similar job in a different country? We know chefs and carpenters working abroad.
Many of the suggestions to help you travel more as a family involve some substantial lifestyle changes. If you aren't ready to make drastic changes to your lifestyle, you can still travel more. Make use of long weekends to get away. It doesn't have to be a flight away, you could explore a city 5 hours away. When we return to the Toronto area, I want to do more long weekend trips to places like Ottawa and the National Parks near us.
I know it may not seem as exciting as venturing far away, but there are probably places nearby that offer up a lot. Sometimes I take our nearby area for granted, but when I see it from a traveller's viewpoint, I see what it has to offer. For example the other day I saw a blog post about the best hikes around Hamilton, Ontario and I have to admit I laughed. Hamilton is a steel town an hour from our home in Canada and certainly nowhere I would consider a holiday destination. But, reading through the article and seeing the photos, I realized that it actually does have a lot to offer.
If you are a camping family, camping can be a great way to explore your local area. Living in Melbourne, we spend our weekends exploring the National Parks throughout Victoria. This is a great low-cost way to see a lot of places and we love our time in nature.
When I was a 13, my Dad got laid off from his middle management position. Instead of jumping right back into the job market, my Dad decided to use this as an opportunity to do something they had always wanted to do: sail their small boat to the Bahamas as a family. They cashed out our education funds and we spent a year sailing from Canada to the Bahamas.
It was the trip that showed me there were alternatives to the rat race and gave me my wanderlust. It was an incredible experience to spend so much time together, meeting other traveling families and island hopping around the Bahamas. There are lots of families traveling by sailboat or van for extended periods of time.
Stressful transitions may not seem like the natural time to go traveling, but using these lemons in life as opportunities, can reframe a situation.
Maybe you have decided to switch jobs? Maybe you have been laid off and given a generous package? Maybe you are about to start your own business? Before you jump into what is next, consider using that time to travel.
Most us are confined to how much vacation time we have and money when it comes down to determining how much we travel. Some of the ideas above show how you can increase the time you have available to travel, but house swaps and house sitting are ways you can decrease the cost of your travels.
We haven't done either yet, but it is something we are very interested in trying in the future. With house swaps, leverage your home and swap it with another traveling family. If you are like me and worried that no one would want to come to your hometown, read this post by our friend's the 5 Globetrotters, who manage amazing swaps with a home base from small-town Canada.
House sitting is also a really popular way to stay somewhere for free. While it may be harder for families to be accepted for house sitting jobs, there are a number of families who are doing it.
We never regret the trips we take; we only regret those that we don't. Life doesn't come with guarantees and we believe firmly in not saving our travel dreams for later. We also think that traveling is the best education we can give our kids. Every day on the blog, we hope to inspire you to travel more with your kids. We hope this post has given you some concrete ideas to turn your travel dreams into a reality.
Is there any other great ways you are traveling more with your kids? We would love to share them. Leave us a message in the comments below.

Oh my gosh, YES! I love that you're advocating for flexible working arrangements here (taking sabbaticals, working remotely, etc.) – in my former life, in the corporate world, I knew SO many people who were so married to their work that they saw no alternatives for travel. Or, even if they did know that – theoretically – long service leave or sabbaticals were available to them, they were terrified by the prospect of exiting the rat race for any period at all. F that, to be frank – you guys have the right idea. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks Sheree! I know it can be hard to get your head around taking time off to travel, but it is something no one ever regrets!
Loved the article. Unfortunately many of the tips are difficult for a location dependent doctor like me. Can you suggest some tips. I don't work for a company and am s private practitioner, an eye surgeon, but am deeply interested in traveling more as a family. I blog at thefoodietrails.com and find quick getaways and staycations best for us.
Hi Kuheli, I know it can be hard when you are location dependent to figure out how to travel more. Not sure exactly what your clinic set up is, but could you organize to take a period of time (a month) off and have co-workers cover for you? The one family I mentioned in this post that is on a one year RTW trip, she is an Optometrist and she has organized to have her partners cover her while they are away. http://whereistheworld.com/ Could you do work/volunteer for Medicins Sans Frontiers (or similar organization) for a period of time in another country? Hopefully you can find some creative ways to make it work for your family. Happy travels!
Just love this post! Such an inspiration to see how much you and your family still travel together. The pictures are wonderful and this must be so amazing for the kids. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! We love seeing so many families doing epic extended travel.
I really enjoyed really this post Dawn! I don't have children but can imagine traveling as a family would be an incredible experience!
Awesome Post Dawn, lots of good ideas there of how families can travel more.
That's awesome lots of great ideas.
Thanks Kellen! We really wanted to give families some concrete ideas of how to do extended travel.
So great that you have been able to find a balance that works for you and allows so much travel. We are still trying to figure out that balance!
Thanks Lydia. Yes, costs add up quickly for a family of 5 and we are always looking for ways to travel more for less.
Thanks so much. I think so many families want to travel more, but the logistics and finances are the biggest hurdles. I know it is for us!
Awesome tips, I really enjoyed this post. This article is such an inspiration for all those who love to travel but can't escape few months from their busy work schedules. Sadly, I am also one of them. But I'll implement these tips and will go for a long weekend this time. Thanks for posting such an amazing article.
Thanks Mirian. I know it can be hard to figure out who to travel more when you are working full time, but hopefully you can plan some epic long weekend trips!

vintage vs dated
Vintage vs. Dated
May 27, 2016 May 8, 2016 | Amy
I recently read a review of one of my favorite author's books and the reviewer stated that she wasn't going to read the previous books (mentioned in the reviewed book) because the author's older books tended to be dated due to fashion references. Now one of the books in question is my favorite book by the author and I know that the fashion elements are extensive, but does that truly date the work? It was written in 1991, and the references in the book are accurate for the time.
But all this has made me think. What is the difference between a book written today that takes place in a different time and one that was written during that time? What makes one dated and the other not?
When I first started writing, there were no cell phones. (Yikes!) I would finish a book and start a new project as I shopped the one I had just written. What happened is in my years as an unpublished author, I banked several books that never made it to print until after my first Big Break. Now these books had been written years before and when they got their chance to be a 'real book' I had to do things like account for cellphones and make sure I had no references that would render them 'dated.' Because that is a big, fat no-no.
I can't tell you how many times another author has tried to be helpful and suggested that I cut something to keep the book from being dated. But aren't those just details? Is it possible to take a good story from 1982 and keep it fresh even though the characters have feathered bangs and Jordache jeans? Isn't it something of a trip down memory lane for those of us, ahem … you who wore Jordache jeans or a glimpse into another time for those who were born after these trends had moved on?
With the rise of amazon.com a great many authors are getting the rights back to their works and republishing after an update. I won't bore you with all the details about publishing rights and all that, but an author's backlist can be very important to their current income. But why the need to update?
Is it just part of our society that says 'old but not really old' is bad? Where is the line that separates vintage from dated? Antique from needs to go to the trash heap? Or is Vintage just a euphemism for people like me who enjoy the history of objects?
I have a new neighbor in my seventy-year-old neighborhood. He's remodeling the house—extensively. He's taking out tile that has been in place for years, original tile just like I have in my own bathrooms. Yes, my tile is not a color that most people use today and I painted and decorated my bathroom around this mosaic tile floor. But it's got a history. No one puts in tile like that these days. It's unique and special to me. Dated? Maybe to others.
The world moves so fast these days. Don't get me wrong. I love the internet and cable TV and having entertainment at my fingertips. But I miss the days of waiting all week to gather around the television with my entire family (Dad included) at 10:30 on a Saturday night to watch the Not Ready for Prime Time Players on Saturday Night Live. It was special. If we wanted to watch it, we had to make time to be together to do so. We talked all week about who was hosting, who was going to be a special guest, and what band would play. Are those shows dated now? So I've heard, but I still laugh as hard at the Coneheads, Todd and Lisa, and the Samurai skits.
So if you are poking around and see that your favorite author may have written something a while back, give it a try. It might be considered dated. Or it might be a gem. You might just find a diamond and you know what they say. Diamonds are forever.
What do you say? Where do dated and vintage part ways? I'd love to hear from you!

Q: What's a good EEPROM replacement for a 27C256/29C256? I teach a hands-on computer architecture course in which the students burn their programs onto an EPROM with a commerical PROM burner.  The instructions are read by a low-speed TTL computer they build.  I started with the 27C256 EPROM but switched to the 29C256 EEPROM, which has now gotten hard to find.
Can anyone recommend an EEPROM (I'm sick of UV erasers) that would be a good replacement?  Specifically, it should be reasonably priced, reliable, easily available and likely to remain so.  It doesn't need to be pin-compatible, although that would be nice.  I'd be happy with as few as 8 address bits (we use two LS163s for the PC), although I doubt anyone makes something that small.  I also don't care about speed.  Robustness to student wiring mistakes would be great.  (All of the EPROMs have seemed pretty good for this.)  Would the 28C family be a good place to look?
We have an Andromeda Labs PROM burner, which supports lots of devices.
Added detail: I've been using the 28-pin DIP package.

A: I believe the 29Cxxx series is now mostly flash memory.
Digi-Key appears to have several thousand of the 32Kx8 AT28C256 EEPROM's, which are almost the same pinout as the 27C256, and appear to be supported by your programmer.  You didn't say which package you are using, I assuming it is a 28-pin DIP.  There is also a 8Kx8 version of the same chip with a compatible pinout (unused address lines are no connects).  It is a little cheaper in price, and also in stock.

A: One more comment in the form of an actual answer: whenever I've needed to buy 27(C)256 EPROMs, I've always found eBay to be a good source.  You could also try Jameco.

A: There are still a few parallel flash chips available in DIP, e.g.   SST39SF010A from Microchip. They tend to be higher capacity than eeprom devices, so more address lines to tie but otherwise equivalent to eeprom for your purposes.

Tom Keifer Treats Fans To A Rock And Roll Halloween Party In Denver
October 30, 2017 Jason Bullinger
Tom Keifer at the Fillmore Auditorium. Denver, Colorado. 10/28/2017. By Jason Bullinger
Lita Ford at the Fillmore Auditorium. Denver, Colorado. 10/28/2017. By Jason Bullinger
Tom Keifer is back on the road after a health scare forced him to cancel a concert in Pennsylvania a couple weeks ago. He is also out supporting a just released expanded version of his solo album "The Way Life Goes". Saturday night October 28 at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, CO the fans were not "tricked" but treated to a hell of a rock and roll Halloween party.
Rock guitar goddess Lita Ford opened the party is fine fashion jumping right into "Gotta Let Go" from her 1984 solo album Dancing' On The Edge. Although Ford is not promoting any new music she spoke about her published autobiography released last year which tied into two songs from her last album "Living Like A Runaway" and "Relentless". Backed by some great musicians (Marty O'Brien – bass, Bobby Rock – drums, Patrick Kennison – guitar), Ford pleased the ghosts and goblins in attendance playing a nice mix of songs that included the grammy nominated "Cherry Bomb" from the Guardians Of The Galaxy movie and songs from her solo career. One of the highlights was when she played "Close My Eyes Forever". Instead of Ozzy Osbourne on the male vocals, guitarist Patrick Kennison sang his vocal parts and Ford would blend hers in for a beautiful rendition of the mega hit.
Tom Keifer would continue the party and as his band filed onstage one by one then collectively exploded into the set opener "Still Climbing" from Cinderella's album from 1994. Using their haunted attitude shuffle the band treated the fans to a nice mix of scary treats from Tom's solo album, Cinderella candy favorites, and cover gems. Tom's raspy bluesy voice is recognizable and sounded incredible singing Cinderella's hits including "Somebody Save Me" and "Shake Me" and even his solo songs "The Way Life Goes", and "Solid Ground". One the highlights was when a mini piano was brought out and Tom sat and sang the huge ballad hits "Don't Know What You Got (Till It's Gone)" and "Nobody's Fools" with the help of a singing crowd. A lot of fans and media are always asking him if the members of Cinderella would ever reunite and tour again but after hearing Tom and his band those thoughts are erased. The backing band is fantastic and features his wife Savannah Keifer on background vocals, Tony Higbee on guitars, Billy Mercer on bass, Kendra Chantell on vocals, Jarred Pope on drums, and Kory Myers on keyboards. To close out the night Keifer would play a nice rendition of the classic Beatles song "With A Little Help From My Friends" then closing with "Gypsy Road". Tom was very gracious and promised to bring another scary rock and roll party back soon.

K.C. and Lovelin are having an affair. K.C's wife Avan has been asking him difficult questions. Lovelin's husband Zed is K.C's best friend.
Florian Zeller's play takes us into the murky spaces where modern-day relationships skid and swivel, and yet somehow manage to find their feet. But the questions remain and everyday compromises leave their own scars. In this frothy confection, the bitter under-taste of soured friendship and cheap lies forces us to acknowledge the "Truth" of post-modern morality.
"A lie is only a sin if it does harm. When it does good, it's a very great virtue; so be ever more virtuous." Voltaire.
"The Truth", in this translation by Christopher Hampton, was first presented in association with Theatre Royal Bath productions on 10th March 2016.

What to Look Out For-Common Writing "Scams"
Home > Getting Paid for Writing > What to Look Out For-Common Writing "Scams"
The Internet has opened up many possibilities for freelance creative writers to make a living selling their words and images no matter where they live… but the cyber universe is also a scammer's paradise.
If you're looking to self-publish or sell your literary "wares" online you need to stay safe from charlatans trying to steal your intellectual property and profit from your hard work. As a public service, we've addressed some of the top ways for authors to avoid finding themselves the victims of cyber thieves.
But how do you know that you're not really just giving away your three sample concepts?
Though there are absolutely some legitimate sites that advertise for writers in this manner, it will behoove you to correspond with any potential employer before submitting "samples". After all, who is to stop them from simply using your poems and not paying you at all?
A simple email requesting more information or a one-on-one phone call is an appropriate and professional way to keep you protected. Those companies not on the "up and up" usually won't respond to such pointed inquiries, as they have no interest in working with writers who are savvy. And those that are truly genuine won't mind replying to your questions.
Although it's fine to use your personal blog or web pages as a forum for your creative works, it behooves you to keep those postings to a minimum. Many writers have discovered the "hard way" that unethical individuals and businesses will frequently "lift" passages or entire stories without providing the author with any remuneration.
Of course, there's no reason to avoid putting a few of your writings in cyberspace. Just be picky and occasionally check to see that they aren't being used by another person. (You can purchase software for this purpose or even do a basic search engine query).
One of the safest ways to protect yourself and still publicise your writings may be to add only those pieces that have already been published elsewhere to your blog or website, though doing so still won't guarantee a scammer proof defense.
Though it's not illegal to pay authors very little in return for their work, many professional freelancers consider it unethical (or insulting, at the very least), for corporations to offer extremely low rates of £1 or less for substantial articles, stories, or other creative submissions that take a decent amount of time to research and write.
Again, this isn't a "scam", per se, but it's definitely a slippery slope. After all, you're practically giving away your thoughts and energy to someone who doesn't appear to value your contributions. And, let's face it, what bargaining power will you have in the future if you've willingly worked for next-to-nothing in the past? Plus, many extremely low-paying jobs look lousy on your CV and are therefore not credential builders.
Consequently, if you decide to proceed with a job of this nature, do it only for the experience and pursue higher paying gigs simultaneously. Otherwise, you could be essentially "typecast" as a writer who doesn't take him - or herself seriously enough to expect a decent wage.
If you're working with a publisher, company, or individual for the first time, there's nothing wrong with asking for a portion of your expected pay "upfront" or upon completion of a percentage of your writing project.
Most businesses will gladly send you some form of monetary reimbursement as an act of goodwill to ensure that you both feel comfortable with your new working arrangement.
Should an organisation decline to consider such a request, it doesn't necessarily mean they won't pay you as stated; it just means that you're taking a greater risk by working with them.
There are plenty of legitimate, decent paying jobs out there for willing and able creative writers, so you need never settle for less than you deserve. And should you find yourself preyed upon by scam artists, don't hesitate to take legal action, as it can only make the Internet a safer place for all your writing "brothers" and "sisters".

System: Wii U Release date: 23/03/2017
Six Sides of the World – all hail the puzzle lord!
Six Sides of the World is a puzzle video game that takes you into an intergalactic journey through different star systems riddled with brain-racking challenges.
The ultimate match: your brains vs. sci-fi hazards
Spatial orientation, logic and pure wit will be your weapons to go through the different cube-shaped planetary systems. Each level will bring the threats to a whole new level, adding all kinds of sci-fi hazards, from portals to laser beams. You will need to carefully analyse each cubic planet to understand its dangers and potential solutions. It's all about breaking down each puzzle and finding the right pace.
Explore a vast galaxy system
Six Sides of the World presents you a series of star systems to be explored. Each one is comprised of different puzzles that introduce new and more challenging mechanics. The most interesting feature of this is that these star systems can be navigated linearly, following an easier predetermined path – or you can make a detour if you are brave enough. Some of the puzzles will present more than one possible solution, enabling the player to achieve a more difficult victory that will unlock new extra puzzles.
From test of wit to ultimate headache!
The freedom of exploration in Six Sides of the World lets you set the difficulty – the linear path takes an intelligent and resolutive mind, but the additional solutions to some of the puzzles require a true sense of understanding of each puzzle. And that's not all! These solutions will lead you to extra puzzles that are capable of driving you insane. It is a smart way of letting the player set the difficulty by him/herself – going for the extra solution is a way of asking for bigger challenges, and the extra levels are the biggest challenges you can face! There is a difference between understanding new mechanics and getting to their true core. Are you ready?
All hail the puzzle lord!
Maigo is an explorer who's about to discover something far bigger than he expects. As he navigates through space, facing increasingly difficult puzzles, he starts to understand he's tapping over something transcendent. Some questions arise – who has created all these worlds? What motivates this intergalactic architect? There's a plan beyond all this? It is a test? A means to protect something?

Emily Blunt Talks About Stuttering
List of other Famous People Who Stutter
In the final week of March 2009, the public at large may have been surprised to learn that actress Emily Blunt struggled with stuttering early in her life when an article from the newswire circulated around the world about how the actress is grateful to her teacher for encouraging her to act in a school play at age twelve despite her stuttering. Also, Blunt's March 25 appearance on the Ellen show in which she spent the first six minutes of the interview discussing her childhood stuttering received some coverage as well.
While Blunt's name is prominently featured on the SFA's list of Famous People Who Stutter, she is the only person on the list who comes to mind who has mentioned other famous people who stutter when speaking in public about her stuttering. An article on August 28, 2007, from England that went over the worldwide newswires stated that Blunt vehemently insisted that she was not the only Hollywood star to suffer from stuttering, Blunt said about her stuttering, "I know many actors who have stutters. Bruce Willis has one. James Earl Jones, too."
Emily Blunt burst into the limelight with her brilliant performance in the 2006 movie The Devil Wears Prada, but had gained attention previously with My Summer of Love in 2004. Emily Blunt's journey to fame began in London on February 23, 1983 when she was born to barrister Oliver Blunt and her teacher mother, who herself had enjoyed an acting career on stage and television before marrying and having a family. Emily's uncle is Crispin Blunt, the well-known Conservative Member of Parliament. Blunt's early life was filled with many fun activities at which she excelled, such as singing, playing cello and horseback riding. However, Blunt never considered following in her mother's footsteps in acting because of her stuttering.
In the October 2008 issue of W magazine that featured a profile on Blunt, the article stated, "There's an unwritten rule that all beautiful actresses must claim to have been total geeks in high school, whether or not they genuinely were, but Emily Blunt makes a far more convincing case than most. While growing up in a posh suburb of London, Blunt developed a stutter so debilitating that she could barely hold a conversation, let alone elbow her way into the limelight." Blunt put forth in the article, "I was a smart kid, and had a lot to say, but I just couldn't say it. It would just haunt me. I never thought I'd be able to sit and talk to someone like I'm talking to you right now."
In the W article, Blunt went on to mention that a teacher recommended that she try acting. In March 2009, in an interview for a newswire article that made its way from England to all corners of the globe, Blunt expanded on the role of her teaching leading her both into acting and into a life of fluency at the same time. Blunt said in the article, "I did have a bad stuttering problem as a child. I'd try to push the words out, but it was frustrating. My parents took me to speech coaches and relaxation coaches. It didn't work. Then one of my teachers at school had a brilliant idea and said, 'Why don't you speak in an accent in our school play?' I distanced myself from me through this character, and it was so freeing that my stuttering stopped when I was onstage. It was really a miracle."
Later in that month, on March 25, Blunt appeared on the Ellen show and began the interview by talking at great length about her childhood stuttering with host Ellen DeGeneres. The topic of stuttering dominated the interview, with DeGeneres asking the question of what caused Blunt's stuttering; appropriately, Blunt answered "I don't know." They discussed the hardship that a young person who stutters goes through, and the host was genuinely fascinated about the phenomenon of a person who stutters being about to use a fake accent to speak fluently. This interview received coverage on the entertainment shows. Of course, Ellen DeGeneres' interview with Emily Blunt can be viewed on YouTube.
Blunt was on the Ellen show to promote her new movie Sunshine Cleaning. Her next movie to be released will be The Young Victoria in which she plays a young Queen Victoria. There is little doubt that Emily Blunt, who won a Golden Globe award in 2007 for the mini-series Gideon's Daughter, will be prominent in the worldwide entertainment scene for many years to come. While Blunt will definitely have more high-profile roles in the future, the stuttering community hopes she will continue to give more high-profile attention to stuttering by being so candid in interviews and putting a human face on the speech disorder.

This Virginian congressman has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1981. The longtime supporter of the Stuttering Foundation drew national attention to childhood stuttering in 2006 when he submitted an article about Tiger Woods from the SFA newsletter to the Congressional Record. The congressman is featured in the Stuttering Foundation's Famous People Who Stutter brochure.

His love for animals began when he was very young.
The recent Disney version of Lewis Carroll's classic, Alice in Wonderland, garnered a great deal of media hype. Even though the mainstream media has not made mention that Carroll was a person who stuttered, his family history gives credence to the discovery of the genetic link to stuttering. Carroll was born to parents who were first cousins; almost all of their eleven children, three girls and seven boys, struggled with stuttering past childhood.
Seeking to "remove Winston Churchill's stutter by second guessing the diagnosis" indicates neither a truthful retelling of history nor an informed opinion about a complex speech disorder, say experts in the field of speech-language pathology.
Recent news reports that quote Dr. John Mather, a Washington physician, as saying that Churchill's stutter "is a lie" brought adamant critical response from specialists in the field of stuttering and fluency disorders.

The Leading Edge retitles leadership team 26 April 2018
The Leading Edge retitles leadership team
Asia Pacific Europe News People
UK – Insight and strategy consultancy The Leading Edge has announced a reorganisation of its global leadership team.
The company's five directors, based in London and Sydney, will now be known as managing partners, moving away from discipline focused team silos.
In the EMEA region, Isobel Smyth, head of cultural and consumer insight (pictured, left) and head of retail strategy Daniela Fernandez (pictured, right) will become managing partners, continuing to report to EMEA managing director Chris Paxton (pictured, centre).
The company's head of strategy and deployment, Florencia Tarelli, head of qualitative strategy Dominic McCarthy and APAC managing director Lee Naylor also all become managing partners.
The managing partners will form a newly established global team with Paxton and the company's acting chief executive Steve Watson, with the aim of developing a three-year growth strategy.
Paxton said the move reflects increased demand from clients for a more consultancy-based multi-disciplinary approach. He said: "We've found that clients want experienced consultants to solve their business challenges, not just people to conduct different research methodologies. All too often, a brief is instantly translated into a methodology that fits with the person's capabilities, whereas our leaders blend the teams to provide multiple perspectives and targeted expertise."

I've wanted my belly button pierced since 5th grade, when I saw my mom's&& Thought it was the cutest thing I'd ever seen.
Starting in the middle of 7th grade, I started begging. A couple of my friends got their's done in 8th. At the end of 8th, a couple weeks into summer, my dad finally agreed!(I'm a daddy's girl).
So I took my boyfriend&& Mom&& Off we were! I was so scared of needles, I was shaking. The piercing lady dotted my belly, redotted it, made me lie down, and shoved the needle through! It hurt, but felt better after she put the ring in. I thought it looked super cute!

Q: Auto filling a form and submitting based on a ajax search answer This problem has been frustrating me for a few days, and as I have found some help here for other problems on my project, it seems that someone could provide insight that I am overlooking.
I admit I am very new to sql, javascript, jquery, ajax, css, and php.  I did 3 years of Computer science in college (15 years ago) While coding and logic don't change much, its syntax and handshakes, and where the computing is happening that I have either forgotten, overlooked, or am ignorant.
I have completed an ajax based search submission.
this search displays the target php in a div labeled .Admin
this works excellently.
Its answer is a display of a tree and the nodes above and below the searched node.
I want to make each node in the tree a clickable link to the search results for its own node.
In the php result I coded it to write in a html call to a javascript function and it generates a unique id for each , as well as its own function call. (whether or not that is a good idea its what i tried) I would think that it is then easy to get javascript to fill out the form with the created link using information it knows and resubmit as no refresh is needed to search again. I tried having the php write this script so that it is developed with the page, and I have tried writing the script and including it in the parent page, so that it is already loaded... I'm not sure where it should go or how it should be written.
I may be missing an integral part, or I'm trying to do more than I am supposed to with the code or not completely grasping where the operation is happening and need to rethink it entirely.
I will try to include all relevant code, if its not enough, I will happily add. Thanks in advance.
CallSearch.js
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('#Search').submit(function(event) {
            $.ajax({
                type        : 'POST',
                url         : 'MenuSearch.php',
                data        : $( this ).serialize()
            })
            .done(function(results) {
                $(".Admin").html(results);
            });
        event.preventDefault();
        });
    });

Menu.php (where my search form is)

     ...

Search <input type= "text" name="Search" id="search_name" class="search-group">

<input type="radio" name="Table"  id="TableRegion" value="R" class="search-group" checked>Region

<input type="radio" name="Table"  id="TableGrape" value="G" class="search-group">Grape

<input type="radio" name="Table"  id="TableWine" value="W" class="search-group">Wine

<button type="submit" id="SubmitSearch">Submit</button>

        </form>
    ...

MenuSearch.php
    define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
    define('DB_USERNAME', 'Webpage');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'Guest');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'database');
    $db = mysqli_connect(DB_SERVER,DB_USERNAME,DB_PASSWORD,DB_DATABASE);
    ...
    $sqlp ="SELECT * FROM region a JOIN Regionclosure b ON a.idregion=b.parent WHERE b.child= $idReg ORDER BY b.Depth DESC;";
    ...
    $resultp = mysqli_query($db, $sqlp);
            $string ="";
            while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($resultp)){
                $Reg = $row["RegName"];
                $Parent= $row["Parent"];
                echo $string . "|___";
                if($_SESSION["Level"] == 'A' or $_SESSION["Level"] == 'C')
                    echo $Parent . " - ";
                echo  "" . $Reg . "
";
                echo "
                    ";
                $string .= "   ";
            };

I have tried multiple iterations of a function for "searchforReg('$Reg'); to no avail... i feel like it should be something like :
    function "searchforReg(Region){
    SearchData= "Table=R&Search="+$(Region).val;
    (function() {
        $.ajax({
            type        : 'POST',
            url         : 'MenuSearch.php',
            data        :  SearchData
        })
        .done(function(results) {
            $(".Admin").html(results);
        });
    event.preventDefault();
        });
    });

This however results in activating the "action" search failing to send the answer to the  and opens the php (with no CSS... gasp.. its just not pretty) I feel like a simple javascript should be able to handle it, but i tried all of the different ways i could think of (or look up) to make it work to no avail.
I realize I am playing in the "deep end," and I'm in my "water wings" so if you could have mercy and push me to the edge, I would appreciate it.

A: First, the process of printing a click handler for each link is overkill. Instead, just give each link a class and set up a single handler for any link of that class. In menusearch.php:
echo  " $Reg
";
$string .= "   ";

Side note - in PHP, if you echo with "double" quotes, variables will be rendered, so no need to concatenate. That's why $Reg is just hanging out. If you echo with 'single' quotes, the string is interpreted literally.
Then in menu.php, we have a bit of javascript:

Finally, I'm guessing you have some $_POST handling in MenuSearch.php for that data, but I don't see that above so I'll assume it's working...


For the past 4 (almost 5) years since I moved into my little condo, all the furniture has been in the same spot. Even after new shelves were bought, older furniture was sold, and roommates moved out taking their furniture with them, nothing that stayed in the house was ever moved. The result? Things were just kind of…there.
Recently, there have been a lot changes happening around me – roommate moving out, friends graduating from college, new hires at work – and I decided that maybe it's time I made a change too. So, after waking up with a rush of motivation and a mind full of "fresh start" quotes, I feng shui-ed up my pad. It wasn't until I was staring at my completed new living room, mentally patting myself on the back, that I realized I forgot to take a before picture…AGAIN! I seriously need to stick post-it notes around my house to remind me or something. Anyway, just trust me that this newly arranged room is WAY better looking and organized than before. It finally has that home-y feel that's been missing!

A Cloud of Witnesses, for the Royal Prerogatives of Jesus Christ: Or, the ...
editör: John Henderson Thomson
evidence. Under early pamphlets, he quotes one printed in 1703 by Mr Andrew Symson, Episcopalian minister of Kirkinner, Margaret Maclauchlan's parish, at the time of the martyrdom, and written by his son, Mr Matthias Symson, in which a Presbyterian pamphleteer is corrected in his account of the drowning, and the fact admitted, as if witnessed by him : " They were judicially condemned after the usual solemnities of procedure. The judges were several gentlemen commissioned by authority, of whom Mr D. G., brother to the then L. of Cl. (evidently, Mr David Graham, brother to the then Laird of Claverhouse], was one. The chancellor of Assize (or foreman of the Jury] and clerk of the Court are yet alive."
Under minutes of the local Church Courts he gives :
(1.) The Minutes of the Presbytery of Wigtown, dated February 10, 1708, and of the Synod of Galloway, October 19, 1708, cnjoining a collection of accounts of the sufferings for religion in the late times of persecution.
(2.) The Minute of the Kirk-session of Kirkinner, April 15, 1711. The part relating to Margaret Maclauchlan is--" Post preces sederunt, all the members except John M'Culloch, William Hanna, and John Martin, younger in Airles. Inter alia, the minister gave in the account of the sufferings of honest, godly people in the late times, which was read, and is as follows : Margaret Laughlison, of known integrity and piety from her youth, aged about eighty, widow of John Milliken, wright in Drumjargan, was, in or about the year of God 1685, in her own house, taken off her knees in prayer, and carried immediately to prison, and from one prison to another, without the benefit of light to read the Scriptures; was barbarously treated by dragoons who were sent to carry her from Mahirmore to Wigtown; and being sentenced by Sir Robert Grier of Lagg to be drowned at a stake within the flood-mark, just below the town of Wigtown, for conventicle keeping and alleged rebellion, was, according to the said sentence, fixed to the stake till the tide made, and held down within the water by one of the town officers by his halbert at her throat, till she died."
(3.) The Minute of the Kirk-session of Penninghame, February 19, 1711. The part of the minute relating to the Wilson family is : "Gilbert Wilson of Glenvernock, in Castle Stewart's land, being a man to an excess conform to the guise of the times, and his wife without challenge for her religion, in good condition as to worldly things, with a great stock on a large ground (fit to be a prey), was
harassed for his children who would not conform. They being required to take the Test and hear the curates, refused both ; were searched for, fled, and lived in the wild mountains, bogs, and caves. Their parents were charged, on their highest peril, that they should neither harbour them, speak to them, supply them, nor see them; and the country people were obliged by the terror of the law to pursue them, as well as the soldiers, with hue and cry.
"In February 1685, Thomas Wilson, of sixteen years of age, Margaret Wilson, of eighteen years, Agnes Wilson, of thirteen years, children of the said Gilbert-the said Thomas keeping the mountains, his two sisters, Margaret and Agnes, went secretly to Wigtown to see some friends, were there discovered, taken prisoners, and instantly thrust into the thieves' hole as the greatest malefactors; whence they were sometimes brought up to the Tolbooth, after a considerable time's imprisonment, where several others were prisoners for the like cause, particularly one Margaret Maclauchlan of Kirkinner parish, a woman of sixty-three years of age.
" After their imprisonment for some considerable time, Mr David Graham, Sheriff, the Laird of Lagg, Major Winram, Captain Strachan, called an assize, indicted these three women, viz., Margaret Maclauchlan, Margaret Wilson, Agnes Wilson, to be guilty of the rebellion at Bothwell Bridge, Airsmoss, twenty field conventicles, and twenty house conventicles. Yet it was well known that none of these women ever were within twenty miles of Bothwell or Airsmoss; and Agnes Wilson, being eight years of age at the time of Airsmoss, could not be deep in rebellion then, nor her sister of thirteen years of and twelve years at Bothwell Bridge its time. The assize did sit, and brought them in guilty, and these judges sentenced them to be tied to palisades fixed in the sand, within the flood mark, and there to stand till the flood overflowed them and drowned them.
"They received their sentence without the least discouragement, with a composed smiling countenance, judging it their honour to suffer for Christ's truth, that He is alone King and Head of His Church, Gilbert Wilson, foresaid, got his youngest daughter, Agnes Wilson, out of prison, upon his bond of a hundred pounds sterling, to produce her when called for ; but was obliged to go to Edinburgh for this before it could be obtained. The time they were in prison, no means were unessayed with Margaret Wilson, to persuade her to take the oath of abjuration, and hear the curates, with threatenings and flattery, but without any success.
age,
"Upon the eleventh day of May 1685, these two women, Margaret Maclauchlan and Margaret Wilson, were brought forth to execution. They did put the old woman first into the water, and when the water was overflowing her, they asked Margaret Wilson what she thought of her in that case? She answered, 'What do I see but Christ wrestling there? Think ye that we are sufferers ? No, it is Christ in us, for He sends none a warfare on their own charges.' Margaret Wilson sang Psalm xxv., from the 7th verse, read the eighth chapter of the Epistle to the Romans, and did pray, and then the water covered her. But before her breath was quite gone, they pulled her up, and held her till she could speak, and then asked her if she would pray for the king. She answered that she wished the salvation of all men, but the damnation of none. Some of her relations being on the place, cried out, 'She is willing to conform,' being desirous to save her life at any rate. Upon which Major Winram offered the oath of abjuration to her, either to swear it, or return to the waters. She refused it, saying, 'I will not; I am one of Christ's children ; let me go.' And then they returned her into the water, where she finished her warfare, being a virgin martyr of eighteen years of age, suffering death for her refusing to swear the oath of abjuration and hear the curates.
" The said Gilbert Wilson was fined for the opinion of his children, harassed with frequent quarterings of soldiers upon him, sometimes a hundred men at once, who lived at discretion on his goods, and that for several years together; and his frequent attendance in the Courts at Wigtown almost every week, at thirteen miles distance, for three years time; riding to Edinburgh on these accounts, so that his losses could not be reckoned and estimated, without doubt, not within five thousand merks, yet for no principle or action of his own ; and died in great poverty lately, a few years hence. His wife, a very aged woman, lives upon the charity of friends. His son Thomas lived to bear arms under king William in Flanders, and the castle of Edinburgh ; but had nothing to enter the ground which they possessed, where he lives to certify the truth of these things, with many others who knew them too well."
Dr Stewart minutely examines the roll of the Sessions of Kirkinner and Penninghame, and the Presbytery of Wigtown, and shows that the different members had ample opportunities of knowing the truth of the story of the sufferings of the two martyrs which they attested.
Sheriff Napier has replied to Dr Stewart's book in his " History Rescued in answer to History Vindicated ;" but it is not a reply. It does not set aside any of Dr Stewart's proofs that the martyrs actually were drowned. Dr Hill Burton is a writer of Whig sympa. thies; but he is an Episcopalian, and has really no bias in favour of the Covenanters, so that his judgment upon Sheriff Napier's " History Rescued " may be regarded as impartial. In a note appended to his " History of Scotland," Edinburgh, 1870, vol. vii., p. 549, as it was passing through the press, he
says: "Of course this [i.e., ' History Rescued') had to be read before final correction, that it might be seen whether it contained any new and unexpected discovery. But the two hundred and seventy additional pages revealed no other discovery, save a remarkable instance of that well known frailty of heroic natures, which deprives them of the capacity of knowing that they are beaten."
As might be expected, the Wigtown martyrs have been the theme of poetry. One of the happiest of Mrs Stuart Menteith's ballads, in her "Lays of the Kirk and Covenant," is that entitled "The Martyrs of Wigtown." The eloquent page in Lord Macaulay's history, in which he tells the story of their end, has inspired Mr Millais to one of the best efforts of his pencil in his " Margaret Wilson," in Once a Week, some years ago.
The date "uth May 1684" is plainly a misprint for 11th May 1685. The testimony of Robert Pollock is dated January 23, 1685, and the succeeding testimony of Thomas Stodart is August 12, 1685, so that the chronological order requires 1684 to be corrected to 1685, the date on the monument in Wigtown Churchyard over the grave of Margaret Wilson.-Ed.]
PON the uth of May 1684, (1685) Margaret Lauchlane
in the parish of Kirkinner, and Margaret Wilson in Glen
vernock in the shire of Galloway, being sentenced to death for their noncompliance with prelacy, and refusing to swear the oath of abjuration, by the Laird of Lagg, [i.e., Sir Robert Grierson, Captain Strachan, Colonel [Winram] Mr David Graham, and Provost Cultron 11.1., of Wigtown), who commanded them to receive their sentence on their knees, which they refusing, were pressed down by force till iney received it: and so were by their order tied to a stake within
the sea-mark, in the water of Blednoch near Wigtown, where, after they had made them wrestle long with the waves, which flowing, swelled on them by degrees, and had sometimes thrust them under water, and then pulled them out again to see if they would recant, they enduring death with undaunted courage, yielded up their spirits to God.
The former was a widow woman of about sixty-three, of a most Christian and blameless conversation, a pattern of piety and virtue, who having constantly refused to hear the curates, was much pursued and vexed, and at length taken by the soldiers while she was devoutly worshipping God in her family, and being indicted of being at Bothwell Bridge, Airsmoss, and twenty field conventicles, and as many house conventicles, after sore and long imprisonment, without necessary refreshments of fire, bed, or diet, at length suffered this cruel death.
The other (Margaret Wilson), a young woman of scarce twentythree years
of age, after she with her brother, who was about nineteen, and her sister fifteen years old, had been long driven from their father's house, and exposed to lie in dens and caves of the earth, wandering through the mosses and mountains of Carrick, Nithsdale, and Galloway, going to Wigtown secretly to visit the foresaid Margaret Lauchlane, was taken by the fraud of one Patrick Stuart, who, under colour of friendship, having invited her and her sister to drink with him, offered them the king's health, and upon their refusal of it, as not warranted in God's Word, and contrary to Christian moderation, went presently out and informed against them; her sister was dismissed, as being but fifteen years of age, upon her father's paying a hundred pounds sterling for her ransom; she being detained and examined, whether she owned the king as head of the Church and would take the abjuration-oath ; not answering to their pleasure, but adhering to the truths of Christ, was in like manner condemned, and after great severities of imprisonment, suffered the foresaid death; being put oft into the water, and when half-dead taken up again, to see if she would take the oath, which she refused to her last breath. While her fellow sufferer was wrestling with the waves, as being put first in to discourage her; the persecutors asked her what she thought of that sight? She answered, "What do I see but Christ (mystical) wrestling there?" One of the times that she was taken out of the water they said, Say "God save the king :" she returning with Christian meekness, "I wish the salvation of all men,

Jeremy Corbyn Win Will Rob Labour Of Its Greatest Asset
By Neil Winton on September 2, 2015 in Britain, Politics

Labour Favoured To Win; Can Miliband Lose It For Them?
By Neil Winton on October 5, 2013 in Britain, Politics
Tories Need To Tempt UKIP Votes To Win Majority. Cameron Doesn't Seem Aware Of This, Relying On Miliband Weapon.

Economic storm brews, but Cameron's on the ball
By Neil Winton on October 6, 2011 in Politics
Cameron's priorities boggle the mind, but if he fails, there's always Ed "Better keep your fingers crossed that nothing seriously bad happens" Listening to our callow political leaders at the annual political party conferences you would never guess that Britain faced economic meltdown, or that next year the world will have to handle an […]
Anyone halfway civilized would have deferred to elder brother David Miliband
By Neil Winton on September 28, 2010 in Politics
Ed must have been aware that his victory would destroy David "That's why I say that Ed Miliband is an arrogant, thoughtless, selfish fool who by his actions show that he is unqualified to lead" When Ed Miliband decided to stand for the Labour Party leadership he must have been aware of the consequences.

WHY WOULD CAMERON WANT TO TAP MILBURN FOR EQUALITY ROLE?
By Neil Winton on August 15, 2010 in Politics
Milburn wanted to trash standards to give the poor a legup. Tories traditionally raise standards, not level them down "Maybe the only solution is grab the pitchforks and march on Westminster".

Labour deliberately destroys opportunity for the poor, then pretends to wonder why
By Neil Winton on July 22, 2009 in Politics
The bare-faced chutzpah of Alan Milburn was matched only by the incompetence of the BBC interviewer. Former Labour Health Minister Milburn was blathering on about how the gap between rich and poor in Britain had widened not narrowed. He had authored a report for Prime Minister Gordon Brown which found that opportunities […]
Labour makes hard work of everything, as well as disguising the truth
By Neil Winton on March 25, 2009 in Politics
Top marks to Sunday Telegraph columnist Melissa Kite for her splendid idea about why the Labour party calls itself er, the Labour Party. I'd always thought that "Labour" was meant to distance the party from its true Communist/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist underpinnings. We all know that indeed this is whence Labour's brothers and commissars began and continue their […]

Under the Lid - Rising Sun
UK Games Expo is coming
by Peter Ray Allison on 03/05/2018
The UK's largest hobby games convention, UK Games Expo (UKGE), is set to take place at the Birmingham NEC next month. Currently in its twelfth year, the UKGE will run from 1st to 3rd June. Last year the event attracted around 32,000 people, and even more are expected to attend this year.
A whopping 300 games companies are expected to attend, from independent start-ups to major developers in the industry. All will be there to release their latest games and to demonstrate their new prototypes. These include UKGE's major sponsors; Games Workshop, Catan Studios and Warcradle Studios.
This year's UKGE will be the biggest yet, with the addition of a full 2nd Hall with even more exhibitors as well as more gaming space – because there can never such a thing as too much gaming space at a gaming convention.
UKGE will be welcoming a special guest from the UK gaming industry: Ian Livingstone is one of the founding fathers of modern tabletop gaming, creator of the Fighting Fantasy series and co-founder of Games Workshop.
As well as board games, UKGE also boasts the largest Role-playing Games schedule in the UK, with hundreds of games sessions in dozens of games systems over the three days. Magic the Gathering events are planned, and UK Games Expo also hosts British Historical Games Society events.
There will be a dedicated Publisher-Designer track, where budding games designers can find out how to design and publish their game ideas.
UKGE will also be playing host to a variety of tournaments, including the Catan UK Championships, the Carcassonne UK Championships, and the Fantasy Flight European championships, including huge X-wing games.
UKGE is not just for dedicated gamers. Families and interested visitors are just as well catered for, with a dedicated family zone and demonstrations throughout the event of all the best and newest games both for families and those looking for more complex games. Demonstrators will be on hand throughout the day to introduce new players to the games, making it an easy, safe, and fun event to attend.
Alongside all that is a food festival – because, let's face it, gaming is hungry work – and a full seminar programme, looking at all aspects of the games world
Day, weekend and family tickets for the UKGE are available now and can be booked online, here.

Due to the certainty of much needed rain, the 5th Annual Power Band Classic has been moved to the Hot Springs Convention Center. We extend many thanks to the staff of the convention center for pulling off a miracle, and accommodating The Classic at the very last minute.
A football field size performance area has been drawn inside the convention center, with spectator seating in the right hand end zone. Even though this is not our regular venue, it is exciting to provide an inside experience, resembling the acoustics the students would experience in one of the domed fields at a Bands of America Super Regional, or Grand Nationals competition.
Admission at the gate will be $5.00. More information will be posted soon, so check back.
The address of the Hot Springs Convention Center is: 134 Convention Blvd, Hot Springs, Arkansas.

In a pivotal three-hour speech, China's President Xi Jinping on Wednesday painted a rosy picture of the country's accomplishments over the past five years. But how does China really stack up with the rest of the world when it comes to the economy, the environment and its military? When Xi assumed leadership of the ruling Chinese Communist Party in late 2012, the country was in pretty good shape. While the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent recession had taken its toll on China's economy, it still grew by 7.8% in 2012, and the year before had overtaken Japan to become the world's second-largest economy.

Wait, Django Might Crossover With This Legendary Franchise?
Yet another day in the Sony hack scandal of 2014, and apparently the Men in Black/22 Jump Street film isn't the only crossover Sony would like to see happen. An exchange between Amy Pascal, co-chairman of Sony Entertainment Pictures, and Academy Award-winning director, Quentin Tarantino, discussed a potential crossover between Django Unchained and Zorro.
According to Business Insider, Pascal takes the old flattery approach. She allegedly explains to Tarantino how much she enjoys his work and then asks if they can find some time to get together and talk about doing a cross-over between Django and Zorro.
Yes, the email was annoyingly written in all caps, but Tarantino still expressed interest in his response and said it sounded like fun. And it'd be a fun pair for fans to watch on screen as well. Of course the two heroes mentioned, in case you don't know are Django, who most recently appeared in 2012 film Django Unchained starring Jamie Foxx and Zorro. Django was originally a character who appeared in a number of spaghetti westerns, the first self-titled in 1966. The westerns take place after the American Civil War, and Django, a dismissed Union soldier gets caught up in a violent race war. The modern Tarantino version takes place before the Civil War, and Django Freeman, a freed slave, pairs with a German bounty hunter in search of his wife, and the two basically end up going to war with a nasty plantation owner. The character is super badass and becomes quite the gunslinger.
And then there's Zorro, which came even before Django. The character first appeared in 1919 in a pulp magazine series, and later turned into books and eventually adapted in over forty films. The most recent being The Legend of Zorro starring Antonio Banderas. The character has a very distinct look, with a black-clad mask and cape. He's an outlaw that defends people against tyrannical officials and other villains with a knack for publicly humiliating them.
There is already so much material on both these characters, that a film combining them would be an incredible feat. But, if anyone has the ability to conquer it, it's definitely Tarantino. Not only did he direct Django Unchained, but also Tarantino has already done some work pairing up the two outlaws. As a follow up to his film, Tarantino created a comic book series entitled "Django/Zorro". The series is set several years after the events of Django Unchained when Django goes on a bounty hunt and encounters the famed Zorro. Zorro becomes a mentor to Django and the two start to work together.
With all this work Tarantino is doing on the comic, writing a screenplay shouldn't be too difficult. And it could bring about potential for a entire new series of movies including this bound-to-be dynamic duo. Fan of old westerns will be excited to watch some of their favorite classic characters brought to life once again, and for others it will be interesting to see these characters set in the styles of modern film. In separate emails discussing the plans for Sony's future movie schedule the crossover is dated to come out sometime in 2017.
