HUAWEI'S MATE 10 is the most recent flagship big-screen handset from the Chinese manufacturer, and it goes up against the regular contenders in the form of Samsung's Galaxy S8+ and Note 8 and Apple's iPhone 8, as well as cheaper rivals like the OnePlus 5T.
With Samsung planning an earlier than usual launch of its next flagship S series device, is the Huawei Mate 10 Pro worth splurging on just a couple of short just weeks ahead of the next crop of releases at MWC 2018?
On paper at least, the Mate 10 Pro demands some attention – touting some top-end specs, and a wealth of additions to the core Android OS, and with a retail price of £699, it's not the most expensive phone at the high-end of the market, either.
Design and hardware
Huawei's been refining the finish of both its hardware and software in recent years, and the result for the Mate 10 Pro is a flagship that feels almost as premium as devices like the similarly sized Samsung Galaxy S8+, albeit without the same curved edge design. It's worth noting to avoid any accidents that the regular Mate 10 isn't waterproof, but the Mate 10 Pro is.
Like its high-end rivals, the phone is a combination of a metal chassis with a glass rear panel, and the finished product is an impressive package – but not one for anyone that hates fingerprints all over the front and back of their phone.
To the right side of the 6in (2160×1080, 402ppi) OLED display is the power button and volume rocker, while the left side of the chassis houses only the combined microSD and SIM slot. At the bottom of the phone is the USB-C port, and there's no 3.5mm headphone socket in sight, so you'll need to use the included adapter if you want to use wired headphones.
Notably, on the rear of the phone, the Leica-branded main camera has a 20MP monochrome sensor and a 12MP RGB sensor that combine to form higher resolution images. You also get a dual-LED flash and optical image stabilisation on the camera too. Sitting beneath the camera arrangement is the zippy fingerprint sensor that unlocks the phone in almost no time at all – you're not left waiting around to see if your print has been registered.
Returning to the front of the device, the selfie camera is a more regular affair, comprised of an f/2.0 wide-angle lens and 8MP sensor.
Powering everything along is Huawei's own Kirin 970 octa-core CPU with i7 co-processor, and a Mali-G72 MP12 GPU. RAM is either 4GB or 6GB, depending on which model you have – we've reviewed the 6GB RAM model with 128GB storage.
You also get a "neural network processing unit", which is essentially Huawei's response to artificial intelligence-based processing units in some other Android and iPhone handsets. It's harder to say specifically when this processor is being used, but it kicks into life for things like object identification when you're taking photos and predicting which apps you might need to use next, as well as on-the-fly language translations.
Similarly, depending on where you're buying your Mate 10 Pro, there are a few different colours to choose between – Midnight Blue, Titanium Grey, or Mocha Brown. In the UK, only the 128GB version is being sold so far.
Software, EMUI 8
Running beneath Huawei's Emotion UI is Google Android Oreo (8.0), and while the most recent version of Android is still very much there, there are a few changes worth calling out.
Aside from minor appearance tweaks, the most notable EMUI 8.0 features are the AI-based integrations in some of Huawei's own apps that draw on that neural processor. For example, the camera makes use of it for object identification and the photo gallery app uses a smart loading mechanism that detects when you're quickly scrolling past photos looking for a specific one so that you don't need to wait for all the thumbnails to load.
The Navigation Dock is another EMUI 8 feature that you'll either love or never use. In short, it places a virtual joystick-like button on your screen that functions as the traditional home, back and recent buttons found at the bottom of most Android handsets. You still have the option of using the regular virtual buttons at the bottom of the screen if you want to keep both options in play at once though.
If you do go for the Navigation Dock option, it'll take a little while for you to get used to navigating your phone with it, but when you do, you won't miss reaching for the usual buttons.
There are some productivity features tucked in the new UI too, including an option to connect the Mate 10 Pro to a PC (via a USB to DisplayPort or HDMI) for a full computer experience, a bit like Samsung's DeX setup but without the need for a dock.
Overall, and thankfully, EMUI 8 is now refined enough to allow you to have things pretty much like stock Android, or as customised as you can make it with Huawei's tweaks. Regardless of how you like your phone, none of the EMUI changes are likely to leave any previous Android user feeling lost.
I did have a few minor software niggles – EMUI has historically not played nicely with the password manager I use, for example. In this case, the phone consistently removes one of the permissions required to let you log into apps automatically. It's no deal-breaker, and likely won't be a problem for 99.9 per cent of potential purchasers, though.
Unlike some other Huawei devices tested in the past, the Mate 10 Pro does a good job of keeping most of the proprietary functions out of the way, unless you choose to actively use them. The UI night mode is a neat option you don't see many places, even if it doesn't work with third-party apps on the phone.
User experience & battery
There are certain things you come to expect on a high-end smartphone; nowadays, that means things like waterproofing and biometric security – and you'll find these on the Mate 10 Pro too.
However, what you perhaps don't expect is a design that does so well at making the 6in panel feel smaller than it really is, and with a magical coating that makes it positively suicidal the moment you place it down on a surface.
Seriously, it's slightly more slippery than oil and appears to generate its own kinetic forces that propel it off any given surface. The result is that after just a few weeks of use, the review model we have is peppered with fairly significant scratches.
Nonetheless, assuming that most normal people would use the phone with a case and screen protector, it's not likely to be much of a problem in everyday life. Oddly – and most importantly – that rear glass panel doesn't make the phone slippery when being held.
Minor gravity issues aside, the overall performance of the phone is outstanding – it didn't hang or lag once, not even when playing graphically demanding games or taking on some pretty serious multi-tasking and app switching. Given the internals of the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, that's perhaps not overly surprising, but it's a feeling that should be invaluable for a regular buyer using it as an everyday phone.
The expansive display, at 6in, is one of the best things about the phone – being both bright enough to remain visible on sunny days, and with enough pop to the colours to make movies and games really shine. Like the back of the phone, however, it is a bit of a fingerprint magnet.
Another of the best features of the Mate 10 Pro is its large 4,000mAh battery pack, which will see heavy users through a full day, and regular users up to two-days of battery life. It's an impressive feat that many phones claim, but few deliver against. Combined with the speedy performance and instant unlock fingerprint scanner, the overall impression of the handset is one of absolute capability.
Theres also an IR blaster, an almost retro throwback that I entirely appreciated, in the Mate 10 Pro too, but no 3.5mm headphone jack (though there is one in the regular Mate 10).
For reviewers that want to pore over the detailed camera specs, the P10 Pro's Leica setup gives plenty to play around with – both in terms of different camera modes (portrait, wide aperture mode, moving image, etc.) and the hardware that has gone into making the camera in the phone.
That hardware, co-developed by Leica, consists of a 20MP monochrome sensor, combined with a 12MP RGB sensor, and unlike previous generations, truly seem to now show the point of the partnership.
Combining images from dual sensors is supposed to deliver sharper, better-balanced photos, even if you're shooting in dingy conditions. And thankfully, this time it actually works.
Whereas most smartphones demand well-lit environments, the Mate 10 Pro is perfectly happy in a darkened corner of a room. In fact, you might find that photos you do take in bright sunlight, for example, end up a little more overblown due to all that light. It's really just quibbling though; the camera takes some excellent shots in both conditions.
What that means is that the Huawei Mate 10 Pro delivers a camera experience that's good enough to truly rely on for grabbing a quick, but excellent, shot. Plus, you have the option to play around taking some great monochromatic snaps too, using just the 20MP monochrome sensor.
That really is a big deal – knowing you can pull your phone out and snap a solid picture whatever you're trying to capture, in any environment, is no small feat for Huawei's phablet line.
And if you do want to dive deep into manual mode or play around with a wealth of different options, that's all present and waiting for you too.
In short Smartphones have, in recent years, faced two huge challenges to the user experience. One of those is delivering longer battery life, while still increasing processing power, and the second is low-light camera performance. With the Mate 10 Pro, Huawei's cracked both of those in one magnificent handset.
The weakest point of a Huawei phone, for me, has always been the software but even EMUI 8 mostly just stays out of your way if you want it to.
Sure, it doesn't have the same alluring curves of something like the S8/S8+, and it does have a tendency to launch itself off of tables, but the Mate 10 Pro delivered a near flawless user experience throughout the testing, which is much harder to achieve day-in, day-out over weeks.
With a retail price of £699, it's £100 cheaper than the same size Pixel 2 XL (plus that only has 64GB of storage, not 128GB) or S8+, nearly £200 below the Note 8's RRP and £200 more expensive than a OnePlus 5T with 128GB of storage. That puts the Huawei in a bit of a bind – having tested both the S8+ and the Mate 10 Pro, its performance is equally good, I just happen to prefer the look of the Galaxy series, but probably not to the tune of £100 more. And while it's a fair whack more expensive than the OnePlus, it also feels a fair amount more 'premium', as it should.
In the end, the Huawei Mate 10 Pro is a phone with which it's hard to find significant faults and easy to discover bits that you like, and you probably couldn't ask for a lot more in a phone than that.
The good
Outstanding performance, excellent low-light camera performance, speedy fingerprint scanner, beefy battery.
The bad
Huawei's EMUI won't appeal to all, the handset is incredibly slippy.
The ugly
Bartender's score

Québec International invites you to the 11th edition of the Québec City Healthcare Industry Forum, held on December 5 and 6, 2017 at the Hilton Québec.
Innovation has always been an overarching theme of the Québec City Healthcare Industry Forum over the years. Rich and unifying, this focus has led attendees to explore innovation in all its facets, from R&D to marketing, validation to integration. Anyone who ponders innovation knows that it has many definitions. While it is difficult to agree on a single meaning, one thing is for certain: innovation creates value.
As in previous editions, the 2017 Québec City Healthcare Industry Forum will spark discussions between stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem and the life science spheres. The aim is to maximize the benefits of integrating industrial and scientific innovations, for patients, clinicians, the healthcare system and Quebec's economy. Over the years, the Forum has addressed topics and encouraged discussions that resonated with decision-makers, as demonstrated by the new 2017-2027 Life Sciences Strategy Quebec adopted, to which many people have contributed. It is clearly important to continue nurturing such reflections by building more bridges between innovators and the system's different stakeholders.
We hope you will join us in paving the way for better integration of health innovations. In this 11th edition of the Forum, we will once again attempt to find new avenues for optimizing care trajectories. The healthcare system will be the focus of our discussions, so the innovators can fully contribute to its improvement. The industry and system will be called to develop a joint understanding of the issues and a shared vision of their respective contributions to optimizing care trajectories. In addition to building bridges, we will be developing a common language during this Forum!
As always, attendees can expect a quality program. Plenary sessions, case studies, expert talks, workshops and friendly competitions are planned this year. Some 250 participants will exchange ideas in a dynamic atmosphere that will lead to even more concrete discussions highlighting the benefits technological innovations bring.
CONSULT THE AGENDA FOR THE 11TH QUÉBEC CITY HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY FORUM (in French)
The Québec City Healthcare Industry Forum is organized by Québec International, in collaboration with its program partners: BioQuébec, Génome Québec, Norton Rose Fulbright, Innovative Medicines Canada and Amorchem.

Hi Rosemary, thanks for being interviewed! First easy question... Where did you grow up?
My Dad was a logger, so when I was a child, we lived in a logging camp and that was great. We (me, sisters, friends) had a rare freedom when we went out to play; we only needed to be back for meals. A big year in our school was fifteen students. The camp was a community with its own hall for dances, Christmas concerts, and badminton. We had lots to do. On the down side, we were insulated from the world. I won't say I had a hard time when we moved to a town so I could go to high school, but for a while I was shy and nervous but kids adjust fast when they must, and I made friends and carried on.
Did you have a love of words back then?
Well... I still hear my teacher's voice! She emphasized spelling, grammar, and writing paragraphs, but I was probably more interested in drawing a picture about the paragraph subject, rather than writing it down. I had a love of story from very early on though - I pestered my mother to read the funny papers of the newspaper to me, and I wanted to know every word in every balloon. I was almost seven when I started school but, because of my teacher, I read well by the end of the school year. For all six years of elementary school, I had one teacher, and she read to us every day. I didn't write stories then, but I drew pictures and every picture had a story. I had running stories in my head, and could stare into space rehearsing the latest scenes. Sometimes though I did this when I should have been working on my arithmetic problems. My parents were readers, and when there was nothing on television, either due to poor reception or programming, we all read.
Did you go to University?
Well, yes. Twice. After high school, I completed two years of a teacher education course at the University of Victoria, in Victoria, British Columbia. At the end of the second year I was a young wife with a new baby, and no money to complete the course and obtain a degree. Fast forward about three decades, three children, (I won't say how many husbands) and five jobs, one of which I was at for over twenty-two years: I resigned and enrolled in Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Richmond, BC where I focused on Creative Writing and Geography, earning an Associate of Arts Degree in Geography.
Is writing your full-time job?
It is now. I retired from nine-to-five work five years ago, but I started writing as a serious endeavour in the mid '90s after fantasizing for years about a 'writing' life. Why it took me so long to get at it I can only put down to raising a family, maintaining a home, and working full-time; when I finished for the evening there was little left in the tank. And yet, I know of many writers with the same challenges who produce masses of output.
Tell me about your very first writing engagement.
Hmm, I'm not sure it qualifies as an engagement, but in 2003, shortly after I went back to university, several incidents in my life reminded me of my elementary school education and my teacher. Initially I started an essay on how this teacher - Alice Marlatt - had influenced my life, but I had some questions for my mother as Alice and her family had remained a good friend of my parents long after the years in camp. My mother said that she thought that before Alice died, she had dictated her memoirs. When I contacted Alice's daughter, she sent me tape recordings, letters, and pictures and with her endorsement. This initial essay became a book.
What are you working on at the moment?
OMG! How long do you have? I am finishing Five Nights in a Turtle – a travel memoir on camping Hawaii in a Volkswagen van - a journey both external and internal. I also have a first draft of a mid-grade story, and a mid-grade story outlined, several finished essays and articles that are in various stages of submission, a collection of related short-stories to be unified and polished, travel pieces outlined, drafted, finished, some family history stories and my ongoing memoir... for starters.
What really inspires you?
Inspiration arrives, as it has since I was a child, continuously. Apparently I will write about anything, but I like writing about internal exploration, revelation, and discovery - my own and others.
What is the process of transforming that initial moment of inspiration, or idea, into actual words on paper?
Thinking it out in broad strokes in my head, hand-writing into note-book without thinking - just scribbling as fast as I can whatever comes into my head, then the same process into a Word document adding points, plots or ideas as I think of them, then taking the dog's breakfast of words and grouping ideas etc., and eventually forming sentences and paragraphs. During the process I think about the focus of the piece, or the point I want to make, or the plot points if it is a fiction piece.
Do you have a particular writing location?
I love my desk. I love my office, which is also the guestroom for my grandchildren when they visit. I don't usually attempt to write when I have Granny Duty though, but it seems they are happiest playing together when I am in the room, even if I am not part of the games. My two year-old grandson hands me a car to hold in my 'garage,' in front of my keyboard, my footstool has been kidnapped and pressed into service as a cave, and my granddaughter has asked me to say goodnight to the stuffed toys that are not nocturnal, so I am present and part of the story. Childhood is an ongoing story whose plot and characters keeps changing depending on whatever pops into their heads, and in which toys suddenly transform their uses. When my grandchildren are not in the house, this room retains their joy. My memories of their games and how they just play without 'editing,' helps me put a gag on my own internal editor and just write as it comes.
What are your plans for the future?
I suppose that depends on how much future I think I have. I'm a late bloomer, but that big future frost could nip off many potential blooms. Until then, I won't shy from long projects - perhaps some of my offshoots will carry on if I can't.
Name your THREE most favourite books and why.
Oh, darn, this is always hard. At what stage of my life? When I was a child, I consumed any stories related to animals: Black Beauty, Bambi, Lad, My Friend Flicka, The Sun Horse (and yes, I loved horses), but rounded this out with Anne of Green Gables, Swiss Family Robinson, Robinson Crusoe, and anything Enid Blyton. Of these, I think The Sun Horse remains my favourite because my Dad gave it to me for Christmas (I still have it), and because Catherine A. Clark was a Canadian and the story took place in B.C. It was my first realization that authors were not all foreign and a good story can take place anywhere.
In adulthood I read Harold Robbins, Robert Heinlein, Stephen King, James Michener, James Clavell, Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, Philip Roth (Portnoy's Complaint), and all Tolkien (I have read the Lord of the Rings a dozen times over the last forty years). My mother had a full set of Daphne DuMaurier. Devoured. When I discovered the Bronte sisters and Jane Austen, they too were consumed. Also read Lolita and Moll Flanders (in the days before internet, I have no idea how these fell across my reading path), For Whom the Bell Tolls, Dr. Zhivago, and Island (Aldous Huxley). This is about all that comes to mind in a hurry, and of the bunch, my adult favourite has to be Lord of the Rings. On every reading, I find details that I missed and comments which resonate differently with every passing decade. I love the writing for its humour, characters, and complexity. When I read Tolkien, I am in Middle Earth, and the trials of this earth disappear. Maybe it is time for another read.
In my Seniorhood, I read much more non-fiction than before, a lot related to research for various projects. The Dalai Lama's Cat, The Invisible History of the Human Race, and The Happiness Project are recent reads, but not related to present projects. I also try to read works by those in my writing group and those in my writing organization (Federation of BC Writers). Even if the writing is not to my taste, one of them could be the next Hemingway, Tolkien, or Clark!
Lastly... what does writing MEAN to you?
Well answering all of your questions has been a lot of work and taken a lot of time. But it was writing, which is what I love to do and, apart from some of the silliness, it forced me to consider my answers. And so it goes with writing. For as many thoughts I write, many more come back to me - writing is the ultimate perpetual motion machine. I am sure this is not profound and other writers experience the same circular kinesis.
Since I was first able to hold a crayon and scribble, I have created stuff. Drawing pictures, oil painting (by numbers), led to knitting / crocheting / sewing and various crafts. The thing with writing is that the tools are simple –a piece of paper and a pen or pencil. It is a craft that goes wherever I go, and I have often filled time by scrawling stuff, and it doesn't make my hands sticky.
Thanks so much Rosemary, and thank you for your wonderful contributions to WAR and THE SEASONS. Don't stop writing!

The Emmy nominations were full of surprises when it comes to who was nominated in this year's race, and they were equally surprising who was left out. (Click here for a list of some of this year's shocking inclusions.)
Among the most surprising was the nearly complete shutout of "Arrested Development," which received only a single acting nomination (Comedy Actor for Jason Bateman) and was snubbed in writing, directing, and Best Comedy Series. The series was nominated all three years of its original FOX run, winning in 2004, but Emmy voters rejected its Netflix revival.
Another previous winner left out of the race this year was Julianna Margulies, nominated three years in a row for "The Good Wife," winning in 2011.
Perhaps even more surprising was the snub of "Modern Family" star Eric Stonestreet, who had been nominated all three years of the show's run, winning twice (2010, 2012). He's the lone adult actor from the show sitting out this year's event.
RELATED: Emmy Award nominations: 'American Horror Story,' 'Game of Thrones' lead, 'House of CardS' makes history
RELATED: Top 15 biggest Emmy jaw-droppers: Laura Dern, Connie Britton, etc.
"Boardwalk Empire" and its star Steve Buscemi had been nominated for Best Drama and Best Drama Actor the past two years. It was expected to fall out of the top category this time around, but Buscemi also surprisingly missed out on an acting bid this year.
FOX's "New Girl" also fell out of favor. Though many had expected a first-time nomination for lead-acting contender Jake Johnson, he was snubbed, as well 2012 acting nominees Zooey Deschanel and Max Greenfield.
It was a bad morning for FX dramas: "Justified" and "The Americans" were snubbed in almost alll major categories, though Margo Martindale received a Drama Guest Actress bid for "Americans"; she previously won Drama Supporting Actress in 2011 for "Justified."
"Downton Abbey" did well overall, with repeat nominations for many of its actors, but legendary actress Shirley MacLaine didn't make the cut for Drama Guest Actress for her role as Elizabeth McGovern's mother.
"House of Cards" also had a strong showing, including nominations for Drama Series, Drama Actor (Kevin Spacey), and Drama Actress (Robin Wright), but that didn't extend to supporting actor Corey Stoll, snubbed for his role as embattled congressman Peter Russo.
The Sundance miniseries "Top of the Lake" also did well, with nominations for Best Movie/Miniseries, Movie/Mini Actress (Elisabeth Moss), and Movie/Mini Supporting Actor (Peter Mullan), but Oscar-winner and multiple Emmy-winner Holly Hunter was left out of the Movie/Mini Supporting Actress race.
Even after an emotional breast-cancer storyline, nominations from the TCA and Critics' Choice, and an aggressive campaign by NBC, Monica Potter couldn't break through with her first nomination for "Parenthood."
And though "The Amazing Race" has dominated the Reality-Competition category for nine of the last 10 years, this year host Phil Keoghan was left off the ballot for Reality Host.

Brake Pad, Disc & Shoe Measurement
The inspection and maintenance of the brake systems is critical to the safety and efficiency of all rail operations.
MRX Technologies has a suite of measurement systems developed specifically for the condition monitoring of brake components.
The Brake Pad Monitoring System (BPMS) uses precision technology and tailored software to provide accurate and reliable wear measurements.
Roll-by measurements provide a set of 3D spatial curves and a precise profile of the brake pad, braking plate and wheel.
Brake pad thickness is calculated and sent to a controller (and can also be recorded for monitoring of components over time) for instant reference.
The BPMS is installed in a secure enclosure and can be used independently or as part of an integrated rail vehicle measurement system.
The BPMS in brief:
• A valuable tool for planning maintenance
• Can be used to trigger an alarm for damaged/missing pads
• Can be integrated with other VEMS modules
|The condition monitoring of brake components is essential.
|A Brake Pad Monitoring System installed on a track.
|MRX provides measurement systems for components such as brake shoes.
The Brake Disc Measurement System (BDMS) creates precise profile measurements of both wheel-mounted and axle-mounted brake discs (or both if required).
The non-contact system operates on a roll-by basis, providing images and precise measurements and the BDMS can trigger an alarm for any serious abnormalities with the brake disc.
Measurements provided by can be used in plotting the wear and usage of brake discs for effective maintenance planning by the operator.
The BDMS in brief:
• Measures wheel or axle-mounted brake discs
• Provides precise measurements
• Non-contact
MRX also has a system specifically designed for the accurate and regular measurements of brake blocks (or shoes) for each wagon wheel.
The Brake Shoe Monitoring System (BSMS) provides an immediate check of brake block wear condition against specified wear limits, creating a wear history which is used to anticipate available brake wear life.
By using roll-by images and measurements to identify abnormal wear rates (as well as damaged or incorrectly installed brake blocks) rail operators can prevent accidents and safety hazards from occurring.
Other benefits of this technology include:
• Reduced inspection costs
• Enhanced maintenance management information
• Extended component usage life

Newspapers do a good job telling me what happened yesterday, but they'd be a lot more impressive if they could tell me what's going to happen tomorrow. ~ Fuzzy Zoeller
I'm sitting here, trying to think up a good introduction to this post, when I realize there is no good one. Today's news is depressing. If it's not sheep cruelty, then it's 9 Palestinian youths killed while watching the World Cup. There's also a measles outbreak in Washington, due to unvaccinated children and so on. Just open up your local newspaper or news website to see.
Don't forget the useless news, such as Tracy Morgan vs. Wal-Mart, or a model grabbing two cups of ice cream.
And last, but not least, the stupid news: people thinking Steven Spielberg killed a real dinosaur, politicians stating that sodomy is causing AIDS due to a "sperm enzyme", the Selective Service reminding 14,000 centenarians to register for the draft, blah blah blah.
We relish news of our heroes, forgetting that we are extraordinary to somebody too.
—Helen Hayes
I try to find good and uplifting news, both locally and nationally. The only good news I can find in WRAL is an upcoming Super Moon, someone winning a $2 million Powerball prize, and a milk deal at the local Harris Teeter.
Believe me, I tried to find good news locally. But, as we all know, bad news sells.
Don't worry, I'm not going to rant about that. Maybe.
I use Pocket to store all my news articles, advice columns, etc. I'll see a link on Twitter or Facebook that I want to read, add it to Pocket and read it later (usually at work…). A good portion of the articles I've saved are from MentalFloss.com.
Some of my recent reads:
- 11 Ways Big Cats Are Just Like Domestic Cats (did you know big cats make kitty biscuits?)
- 11 Classy Insults With Classical Greek and Latin Roots (try fitting ructabunde into your daily conversation, I dare you)
- 5 People Who Were at the Wrong Place, at the Wrong Time—Multiple Times (I don't think I'd ever leave home if I were them)
- The Amazing Fact Generator (margarine used to be dyed pink!)
Then again, my Pocket has some strange articles, such as talking about the sex lives of humanitarians, people thinking their dogs are smarter than they really are (Stormy IS smart!), and a Venezuela airport charging for the privilege of breathing clean air.
I don't think this post has a point, except to share a bunch of links. I might make that a regular thing.
Here's a picture of my newest cube acquisition. I haven't named him yet, any suggestions?

The Sun is in a row with the makers of its former 3D football comic after the paper's new cartoon strip killed off the Warbury Warriors team in a plane crash on Saturday, writes Dominic Ponsford.
Striker 3D ended its 18-year association with The Sun last week in order to launch a standalone comic featuring the computer-generated football team.
The company is also in dispute with The Sun over an £85,000 series of ads taken out to launch the new comic, some of which it says were pulled by the paper at the last minute.
Striker 3D managing director Steve McKenlay said: "We've had 500 e-mails from readers saying they were appalled by the way The Sun's treated Striker. A lot of them were saying they were not going to buy the paper any more."
Striker 3D paid £85,000 for a series of adverts last week to mark the end of the comic strip appearing in The Sun and to tell readers it was launching as a comic in its own right.
The company ended relations with The Sun after it refused to continue to give the paper first rights on new comic strips.
According to Striker 3D, the first advert was pulled last week because it announced Striker was leaving before The Sun had told its readers it was going.
The Sun then allowed the Striker ads to appear in the newspaper until last Thursday. Striker 3D claims it paid for a half-page advert to appear in the paper on Friday, the first day The Sun would be published without the strip, but that it received a call at 5.45pm on Thursday to say the ad had been pulled because the comic was now a competitor.
The Sun launched its new comic strip, The Premier, on Saturday with a double-page spread. In it a plane, apparently carrying Warbury Warriors, was shown crashing into the sea. A young boy was then shown laying flowers outside a football ground and saying: "There's only one team in town now."
McKenlay said: "I find the whole thing puerile. That promotional spread on Saturday provoked a massive response from people who read Striker."
A spokesman for The Sun said: "Any problems between [Striker 3D chief executive] Paul Nash and The Sun have been resolved. There's no legal dispute between us."

In Isaiah 62:6-7 God is calling watchmen to pray night-and-day for peace and restoration.
Jesus says in Luke 18:7 that if we pray night and day the Father will make right what is wrong.
"7 Days on the WALL" is a national call to every expression of the Body of Christ in South Africa to take one week to earnestly seek God for spiritual breakthrough in our nation by praying night-and-day. It is part of a world-wide 24/7 prayer movement seeking revival in the nations, that has constantly grown since the late 1980's.
Since the establishment of this initiative in South Africa in 2013, more than 4,000 local churches, schools and different groups across the nation have each taken at least one week to pray for revival in their churches and communities. Another growing phenomenon is the development of local community-based prayer networks. Since September, 2013, 47 such networks have been established that are calling the local body of Christ to pray.
Imagine all 900+ cities and towns in South Africa praying in 7 Day watches for:
SPIRITUAL AWAKENING OF THE CHURCH – Isaiah 62:6-7
SALVATION OF THE UNSAVED – Acts 15:16
SOCIAL JUSTICE – Luke 18:7-8
It only takes 24 individuals
to pray for one hour per day
to cover all the hours of the week!
Why Now? Why 24/7?
Social unrest, a struggling economy, a severe national drought, and other serious challenges faced by South Africans at this time, are causing people all over the nation to lose hope. There is a growing need for Christians across the Body of Christ, to unite in sustainable persevering prayer for our nation.
Simple Strategy
- Set up a creative 24/7 prayer room at you church, or a neutral venue in your community.
- Establish a 24/7 "prayer wall", encouraging believers to fill all the hours of the week.
- Encourage different groups in your church to take specific hours in corporate prayer during the 168 hours.
- Organise corporate prayer/worship meetings in the mornings and evenings.
- Do prayerwalks in different parts of your community.
- Preach on prayer and revival a few Sundays prior to your 7Days.
- Make space for the young people to have there own prayer meeting, a half-night, or even an all-night of prayer on Friday or Saturday.
- Include different types of prayer, worship and testimonies as part of your corporate meetings.
Register your 7Days online and receive more prayer information and practical guidelines. You can also register by contacting the Jericho Walls Office at firstname.lastname@example.com or 021 919 7988.

Captain America and Hawkeye #631
- Story by
- Cullen Bunn
- Art by
- Alessandro Vitti and Matteo Buffagni
- Colors by
- Javier Tartaglia
- Letters by
- VC - Joe Caramagna
- Cover by
- Matt Hollingsworth and Patch Zircher
- Publisher
- Marvel Comics
"Captain America and Hawkeye" #631 opens with Hawkeye facing off against a transformed Captain America. That Cap is a messy amalgamation of Dire Wraith manipulations, dinosaur bones and the Star-Spangled Avenger, resulting in a nightmarish and sprawling visual.
While I like the weight and posture Alessandro Vitti puts into the characters, I find his panel layouts have room for improvement. The heavy shadows and flailing symbiote tendrils muck up a fight between Cap and Hawkeye so badly that I can't discern why Hawkeye's swearing, and honestly, I decided I really didn't care enough to try and dissect the panel and chose instead to move on. A little bit later in the issue the art shifts and the heroes become blockier. I presume this is where the art transitions to Matteo Buffagni, but there are still some poorly composed panels throughout "Captain America and Hawkeye" #631.
Stegron's appearance in the issue is less dinosaur-man from his classic adventures and more reject from "Dragon Tales." His physique is slippery and bends more like a sea serpent than a dinosaur and his actions in this book are uninspired, especially his bouncing explanation of what exactly is going on. It comes together poorly, shoehorned into a confrontation between Stegron and this title's headliners, obviously constructed to complete any missing details in the narrative of this adventure.
A while back I read a tweet from a letterer who said something to the effect of, "I think writers just pound their heads against the keyboards to come up with some of these sound effects." With a gigantic beast bellowing "Hsssss-rrrrkkkk-krrsskk!" I wouldn't be at all surprised if it were referring to this story.
Of course the story doesn't do much to move forward, with Cap and Hawkeye not that much farther along than they were in the first chapter of this four-part story. Cullen Bunn continues to write Hawkeye as a wisecracking upstart who grumpy ol' Cap just doesn't understand. That is disappointing as at this point in the characters' relationship, I feel the duo had gotten beyond that. Drop that into a slow moving story and this series is losing me pretty darn quickly.
The team-ups of my youth were concise stories, complete in an issue or two at the most. Sure, there were underlying subplots and maybe even a recurring villain or two that would stretch beyond the team-up, but the stories were easily attainable, interesting, fun reads that had good to great art and fun interplay between the characters teaming up. "Captain America and Hawkeye" is getting long in the tooth and needs to wrap soon before it collapses under its own weight as it tries to figure out what it wants to be. This is a potentially fun concept, it just needs to be a little more deftly executed.

New York, Oct 6 (ANI): It looks like Jude Law doesnt have any plans of settling down.
According to a source, the Hollywood actor was spotted "scoping out The Box for girls," in New York last week.
Apparently The Talented Mr. Ripley actor met one of the dancers at the show and took her back to his room in Gramercy Park hotel.
"Jude met one of the dancers after the show and took her back to his room at the Gramercy Park Hotel. She stayed holed up in there for three days, the New York Post quoted Law, as saying.
Another witness also confirmed seeing Law at the hotel''s Rose Bar last week, although his publicist claimed he was in London "vacationing with his kids." (ANI)

Known for its palm trees and sandy beaches, fresh salt air and cobalt blue Pacific, Santa Barbara is everything you hope California will be. And during the Fall, the beach town comes to life in the colors, sights, sounds and tastes of the season. Grab a front-row seat as local fishermen kick-off the beginning of lobster season and winemakers rejoice with the success of a fruitful harvest. The month of October features a variety of celebrations to enhance your next corporate incentive trip, meeting or event.
Celebration of Harvest Frolic through the vineyards during Santa Barbara Vintners Association's Celebration of Harvest. This signature fall festival pays tribute to the bounty of the year's harvest, during which vintners take a break from the vineyards and clear to pour their wines and share tales. Guests can attend winery events ranging from winemaker dinners to barrel tastings from different varietals of six unique winegrowing areas, from over 100 wineries that call Santa Barbara home.
Santa Barbara Beer Festival Spend a fall afternoon of phenomenal microbrews, food and tunes at the Santa Barbara Beer Festival where attendees will receive a tasting glass and the opportunity to cruise the beautiful grounds of Elings Park, sampling the best brews in the west. If your guests are not in the mood for beer, don't worry. Wine and cider are also available for tastings.
Harbor & Seafood Festival In Santa Barbara, seafood is this town's specialty. And at the crack of dawn, local fishermen have already been hard at work bringing in the fresh catch of the day from the Santa Barbara Channel. At the Santa Barbara Harbor & Seafood Festival, guests have the change to meet the local fishermen and get a first-hand look (and taste) as seafood is served fresh off the boat and on to your plate. The annual event also coincides with lobster season, so bring your appetite!
Santa Barbara Chowder Festival In its seventh delicious year, the Santa Barbara Chowder Festival offers guests a chance to relish in savory-goodness as the area's best restaurants and chefs compete for the title of "Best Chowder in Santa Barbara." Local wineries and breweries sample alongside live music and live auctions. Last year's winner was Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara. Who will take home the Chowder Champ crown this year?
So, in the name of all things delicious, take that extra bite, have one more sip of wine and savor Santa Barbara's popular October events and festivals. The AlliedPRA Santa Barbara team is ready to help kick-start your fall programs. Click here to get started.

Paul gives direction to pray and give thanks for all men, and the reason why, 1-7. The duties of men and women respectively concerning public prayer, 8-10. Women are not permitted to teach, 11-14. And a promise given for their encouragement in child-bearing, 15.
1 I exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 For kings, and for all who are in authority, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 Who wishes all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all—the testimony in its own due times, 7 For which I am ordained a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ, and do not lie), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
8 I wish therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
9 In like manner also, [I wish] that women adorn themselves in decent apparel with modesty and sobriety, not with braided hair, gold, pearls, or costly array, 10 But (which is proper for women professing godliness) with good works. 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman, being deceived, was in the transgression. 15 Although, she will be saved in child-bearing, if they continue in faith, charity, and holiness, with sobriety.

This post is not a recipe since I haven't been brave enough to attempt it, but the frugal budget can accomodate ready made kim chi. For Western palates, making friends with this strong character may take a few tries but its brightness, tang, and fire make the taste very worth acquiring. There are many varieties of kim chi in Korea, but by far the most common and most available locally is cabbage kimchi.
There are so many great things to do with kim chi. Scramble an egg, mix in kim chi, and eat with rice for a great, balanced meal any time of the day. (You can vary the same ingredients by making kim chi fried rice and topping with a fried egg.) I have also made pretty good veggie burgers with chopped kim chi for flavouring. Don't recommend putting it on nachos. Trust me on this one.
Kim chi chigae is kim chi with pork, tofu, and green onions in a stew like concoction; I love how the kim chi is the seasoning and the vegetable at the same time. You want to use older, sour kim chi for this - look for kim chi whose leaves have a krauty translucency without traces of green. Ratio of kim chi to proteins should be about equal. (I would do 1 part pork and 1 part tofu to 2 parts kim chi, but adjust to taste; can even do all pork or all tofu for vegan version.) Dark sesame oil is optional but is a very worthwhile investment due to its attractive flavour/cost value. Heat a small pool of oil (cooking or sesame) in a deep frying pan or sauce pan and brown the pork - you can use cubes, pork belly, ground pork, or even ribs. If you are using the fattier cuts you might want to drain them after browning since the fat doesn't add much to the dish. Add kim chi and stock/water for a soupy consistency and stew for about fifteen minutes; add diced tofu and a chopped green onion and cook for ten more minutes or until pork is tender. Eat with rice. To nutrition power up this meal, make brown rice instead of white and mix bean sprouts into the rice pot to cook at the same time.

Napa Rose
Napa Rose is located inside Disneyland's Grand Californian resort, but you don't have to buy a park pass to dine here. The restaurant attracts visitors and locals alike, with its upscale atmosphere and consistently spot-on plates. The head chef at Napa Rose is highly decorated and has cooked for the likes of the James Beard Foundation. As its name suggests, the restaurant is inspired by the Napa Valley wine country in Northern California. The menu reflects the fresh flavors, ingredients, and characters that have become so synonymous with the area's cuisine. An extensive wine list provides an excellent selection for wine by the glass, by the bottle, or expertly paired with your meal.
Napa Rose, 1313 Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, CA, USA, +1 714 635 2300
Healthy Junk
Yes, Healthy Junk is entirely vegan, but meat lovers may not even notice. Their food really is that good. The small restaurant is located on Anaheim's historic Center Street Promenade. The interior is an eclectic mix of old and new, with a hipster-chic vibe. The menu is seasonally driven and lets veggies outshine the rest. Regulars flock to Healthy Junk for filling salads like the mighty kale or the mango tango but don't think that all they serve is rabbit food. Hearty fan favorites include a burger (vegan, of course) topped with a crispy Anaheim chili pepper, vegan beef fajitas, and a Philly cheese steak (spelled chez stake, so there's no confusion for carnivores).
Healthy Junk, Unit B, 201 W Center Street Promenade, Anaheim, CA, USA, +1 714 772 5865
Baci di Firenze Trattoria
Get ready for an evening out, where you can feel worlds away from Southern California. Baci di Firenze Trattoria has been bringing a taste of Italy to Anaheim for almost a decade now. Tucked in a strip mall near the Santa Ana River, this little spot can be easily missed. But step inside and you'll be greeted with friendly service and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The menu features expected Italian classics like pastas, veal dishes, and risottos. For a fresh take on tradition, try the lobster ravioli or the chicken with mushrooms, artichokes, and flamed-brandy demi glaze sauce.
Baci di Firenze Trattoria, 416 N Lakeview Ave, Anaheim, CA, USA, +1 714 282 2220
Olive Tree
Please don't confuse this great restaurant to a similarly named, bad Italian-esque chain. Olive Tree in Anaheim is family-owned and serves authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. Since opening a decade ago, the restaurant has garnered numerous awards and accolades from local newspapers, magazines, and restaurant circles. The menu features traditional, home-cooked dishes that taste genuine. Go for standards like falafel, hummus, and shwarma, or venture outside of your comfort zone a bit; your palate will definitely be rewarded. Try the musakhan: roasted chicken with onions and fragrant spices like sumac and saffron. Or, go for stewed lamb with freekeh: a hearty grain that comes from wheat.
Olive Tree, 512 S Brookhurst St, Anaheim, CA, USA, +1 714 535 2878
Anaheim Packing House
The Packing House isn't just one restaurant but a charming historic building turned into a one-stop-shop for foodies. You can dine on anything from Indian food to crêpes to Vietnamese cuisine, all under one roof. Indulge in creative comfort food at Kroft or go a little on the lighter side with Japanese food at Orange TEI. For a unique night out, visit The Blind Rabbit, a 20s-themed speakeasy serving craft cocktails and tasty, well-thought-out small plates, burgers, and desserts. Each of the restaurants in the Packing House is highly rated, so you simply can't go wrong.
PokiNometry offers a truly unique, customizable fresh seafood experience. Customers line up in cafeteria-like fashion and craft a bowl of goodness that is all their own. First, you choose a base of rice, salad, chips, or a wrap. Then comes the filling. Crab meat, avocado, cucumber, and white onion get scooped on and then you get a choice of eight different sushi-grade fish options. Finally, top it with sauces and garnishes, and you're ready to eat. Regardless of your selections, you can be sure that each ingredient is as fresh as possible. PokiNometry has been hugely successful in Anaheim because customers just can't get enough of their made-to-order, personalized, sushi heaven in a bowl.
PokiNometry, 184 S Harbor Blvd, Anaheim, CA, USA, +1 657 208 3488
Pour Vida Latin Flavor
A great restaurant on Anaheim's historic Center Street Promenade is Pour Vida Latin Flavor. This south-of-the-border joint opened in spring of 2015 and has won over the hearts of local diners. The chef is well known in the area for his work in other great restaurants so that has helped spread the word about his newest venture. At Pour Vida, the menu is bright and energetic, with robust flavors and ideas. Salads and tacos get an upgrade with creative ingredients and combinations. Beef tacos are made with skirt steak and then jazzed up with pineapple, ginger, and soy. Fish tacos are made chic with lobster and roasted corn chipotle relish. For a real kick, order the pasión caliente fresh-pressed juice: a mix of carrot, habanero pepper, passion fruit, apple, black peppercorn, and lemon. It's sure to cure whatever ails you.
Pour Vida Latin Flavor, 185 W Center Street Promenade, Anaheim, CA, USA, +1 657 208 3880
The Ranch
With updated style, The Ranch brings a bit of the Wild West in a modern way. The restaurant and saloon is the brainchild of the owner of a tech company but feels far from the busy world of California's current tech industry. Instead, step inside and be transported to rural America, where home-style food is made from scratch. The menu features traditional American fare, made with the highest quality ingredients. Steaks are hand-cut, and sourced from US ranches. The lamb is always grass fed, and likely to be flown in from a farm in Colorado. Side dishes like green bean casserole and twice-baked potatoes round out the feeling of down-home cooking. The Ranch also hosts live country music and is a great place to put on your cowboy boots and throw down on the dance floor.
The Ranch, 1025 E Ball Rd, Anaheim, CA, USA, +1 714 817 4200
Reunion Kitchen & Drink
The folks at Reunion Kitchen & Drink have created a space for people to gather and enjoy good food. Service is of the utmost importance, as a guest's experience is top priority. Simply put, it's a comfortable place to enjoy a great meal with friends. The interior of the restaurant is light and airy, with an open kitchen, so you can see right where your meal is coming from. The food is inspired by comfort classics but gets twisted to make something new and exciting. Fan favorites include dishes like turkey pot pie, fried chicken with mashed potatoes, biscuits, and gravy, and a ham sandwich with barbecue sauce and swiss cheese. Stop by Reunion Kitchen & Drink for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and get ready for one of the most relaxing, unpretentious meals you've ever had.
Reunion Kitchen & Drink, 5775 E Santa Ana Canyon Rd, Anaheim, CA, USA, +1 714 283 1062
Thuyen Vien
With an eye on fresh veggies, Thuyen Vien cooks up a fusion of authentic Vietnamese dishes, sans the meat. The restaurant is hidden away in a strip mall, under a sign that simply says, 'Pho Veggie.' But don't pass up this gem. The dining room is small but clean and quaint. At Thuyen Vien, the portions are generous, and pricing is extremely affordable, with most dinner entrées under $15. House specialties include dishes like garlic chicken, banana leaf tacos, and pumpkin curry. And of course, they make a phenomenal bowl of pho that is always popular. Keep in mind that even though the menu lists items as meat dishes, everything is happily made without the use of animal products and with vegetarians and vegans in mind.
Thuyen Vien, 1740 S Euclid St, Anaheim, CA, USA, +1 714 490 0242

IAIN HUME is back in training and in contention for a return to the Tranmere Rovers side taking on Chesterfield at Prenton Park tomorrow.
The Canadian international frontman (right) was ruled out of the midweek win over Hartlepool because of a thigh injury.
That has cleared up leaving Hume to contest a vacancy in attack created by the absence of Chris Dagnall. Calvin Zola and Gary Jones will also be pushing for a recall.
Manager Brian Little said the Chesterfield game would have presented the ideal opportunity to leave teenager Dagnall in the side but the striker is suspended for one game after being sent off for an over-exuberant celebration of his winning goal against Hartle-pool on Tuesday.
Little reports short-term casualties Tyrone Loran and Paul Linwood are not yet fit enough for consideration.
