Civilization VI is here. The whole of human history, its nations and leaders, arrive. But who are they and what can they do? We've gathered them all here so you can decide just who you'll play in your next effort to achieve absolute world domination.
Our list includes every single Civ 6 leader, from the original collection right up to those released as post-launch DLC, along with their vital stats and trailers. That's 31 unique civilizations from a huge variety of nations; from ancient behemoths like Mongolia and Rome, all the way to modern giants such as America and Australia.
Civilization VI made our list of the best strategy games on PC.
Each of Civilization 6's nations come with a unique leader, unit, tile improvement, and ability, so it's vital that you choose a civilization that will help you with your long-term plan. Looking for a Faith-based victory? Try Nubia and they're Pyramids. Need an early defence bonus? China's Great Wall can help. Decide what your overall goal is, and then peruse the leaders below to find your perfect civilization.
Civilization 6 Cree
- Leader: Poundmaker, a chief of the Plains Cree who lived in the mid-19th century and worked hard to make peace with the Canadian government.His leader ability, Favourable Terms, causes all alliance types to grant shared visibility. When trading with foreign cities, camps and pastures in that city will provide additional food for the Cree, and additional gold for their trade partner.
- Unique unit: the Okihtcitaw, which roughly translates to 'warrior'. They replace scouts, and get a free promotion and increased combat strength.
- Unique tile improvement: Mekewap, which provides housing and production. When adjacent to luxury resources, it also provides gold, and when adjacent to bonus resources, food.
- Unique ability: Nihithaw, which grants a free trader unit when you discover Pottery. Additionally, when a trader enters an unclaimed tile within three tiles of a Cree city, it will claim that tile for your empire.
The Cree get a lot of early-game advantages, with a stronger scout and a quick trader who can claim tiles as soon as you find a place to send it. Spam Okihtcitaws to find potential trade partners while hoovering up ruins. Handily, their strength should also give you a strong enough army to make some early conquests, which will give you more cities to send trade routes to and from, which in turn means more territory. Beeline economic techs for more trade routes and run expansionist policies to further lean in to all these advantages.
Civilization 6 Mongolia
- Leader:Genghis Khan, as if it could be anyone else. Big bad Genghis united many of the nomadic tribes of Northeast Asia in the early 1200s, before proceeding to kick all the ass with them, forging the largest contiguous land empire in history. His leader ability, Mongol Horde, grants a +3 combat bonus to all cavalry units and a chance to capture enemy cavalry when defeating them in battle.
- Unique unit:Keshig, Genghis's elite household guards. Keshigs are fast-moving horse archers who can confer their movement speed to other units in formation with them – perfect for rapid expansion with settlers.
- Unique tile improvement:the Ordu,which replaces the stable. Ordu translates to 'palace tent' – it was the centre of a Mongolian tribe, serving as a mobile headquarters. It grants a movement bonus to any cavalry units trained in its local city.
- Special ability:Örtoo,named fora system of supply routes used by Genghis Khan and his successors. Starting a trade route will immediately establish a trading post in the destination city, and the Mongols receive a level of diplomatic visibility for having a trading post in any city of a civ. Further, all Mongolian units get a +3 combat bonus for each level of this visibility.
The Mongols are the third civ to be added in the comingRise and Fall expansion. Appropriately, they're cavalry-based conquerors – the obvious play is to beeline Horseback Riding, then Stirrups, and go around killing everyone. Bolster your natural cavalry advantages with trade routes, and consider a land grab based on Keshigs (both fighting normally and escorting settlers). As strong as Mongolia seem in the first half of the game, most of their advantages vanish when cavalry become obsolete, so you'd better be ahead by then. Equally, plundering incoming trade routes and spamming pikemen seem like fairly simple counters in multiplayer.
Civilization 6 Netherlands
- Leader:Queen Wilhelmina, who saw the Netherlands through two world wars and 58 years of rule. Her 'Radio Oranje' leader ability grants culture for every trade route to and from a foreign city, and bolsters the loyalty of any city that sends a trade route to another Dutch city.
- Unique unit:De Zeven Provincien, a class of warship during the Age of Sail, which served as a ship of the line during the Anglo-Dutch wars. It has increased range and combat strength, and receives an additional combat bonus when bombarding defensible city districts.
- Unique tile improvement:the Polder,whichcan be built on water tiles next to the coast and provide food, production, and a little housing. These bonuses scale with later techs.
- Special ability:Grote Rivieren.Representing the canals and waterways upon which the Netherlands founded their mercantile culture (and often their territorial boundaries), this ability grants large adjacency bonuses for campuses, theatre squares, and industrial zones when built next to a river. Specifically, the yield looks like +2, to judge from the reveal video. Completing a harbour will also claim available adjacent tiles for your empire.
The Netherlands are coming in theRise and Fall expansion, and are a bit of a jack-of-all-trades civ with a clear focus on water. Polders look strong, converting otherwise empty water tiles into food, production, and housing. Assuming they are land tiles as they seem, the Netherlands are the only civ who can convert water to land, which could enable some unique strategic plays. Otherwise, not a huge amount leaps out about the Dutch – settle next to rivers and exploit that adjacency bonus according to your preferred victory type. Culture would be our pick, assuming you'll be doing a lot of foreign trade.
Civilization 6 Korea
- Leader:Queen Seondeok, who ruled Silla, one of Korea's three kingdoms, from 632-647. Her 'Hwarang' leader ability grants +5% Science and +5% Culture to all cities with a Governor.
- Unique unit:the Hwacha, a rocket battery and a returning unique unit from Civilization V. The Hwacha is a ranged unit that stands out during the Renaissance for its raw strength, but it can't move and fire on the same turn.
- Unique district: the Seowon,whichreplaces the Campus and can only be built on hills. Unlike the Campus – which derives its science bonus purely from adjacencies – the Seowon gives a fixed science yield of +6. That's huge, especially in the early game, but it goes down by one for every adjacent district.
- Special ability:Three Kingdoms.Korea's unique ability causes mines to produce bonus Science, and farms to yield bonus Food, if built adjacent to a Seowon.
The first civ to be revealed from the comingCiv6 Rise and Fall expansion, Korea are all about the science, just like they were in Civ V. We imagine Science bonuses must be tricky to balance since they lead to techs which then further strengthen your science output, and thus magnify themselves once established. To us, it seems there's every chance that'll happen with Korea: beeline to a Seowon and surround it with mines to get a science edge that not even a lucky Great Library will touch.
Civilization 6 Khmer
- Leader: King Jayavarman VII, who ruled the Khmer Empire (in modern Cambodia) from 1181-1218. His 'Monasteries of the King' leader ability enables Khmer to grab adjacent territory, as well as bonus Food and Housing, when Holy Sites are built on a river.
- Unique unit: the Domrey, a ballista mounted on an elephant. The Domrey is stronger than the Catapult it replaces, exerts zone of control, and – excitingly – can move and shoot on the same turn. That's a powerful recipe for early warfare.
- Unique building:The Prasat,whichreplaces the Temple and provides a Relic Great Work slot. Additionally, any Missionaries produced here will generate a Relic when killed in religious combat.
- Special ability: Grand Barays.Khmer's unique ability grants bonus Food when farms are built adjacent to Aqueducts, and Aqueducts provide both Faithand an Amenity.
A third civ joins the game with the ability to steal tiles, and with a powerful move-and-fire siege weapon, too. There's every reason to make the most of this in the early game with a bit of warmongering, but don't neglect Faith output – a religious victory is an obvious play for Khmer.
Civilization 6 Indonesia
- Leader: DyahGitarja, a Javanese queen regent. Her prime minister was Gajah Mada – Indonesia's leader in Civ V – alongside whom she pursued a massive expansion of her empire.Her leader ability, modestly entitled 'Exalted Goddess of the Three Worlds', grants bonus Faith to coastal cities and allows her to purchase Naval units with Faith at a discount. It also eliminates the movement cost for religious units to embark or disembark.
- Unique unit: the Jong, which replaces the Frigate. It is faster, gains extra combat power if it's in a formation, and confers its movement speed to all units in said formation.
- Unique tile improvement: the Kampung,which provides Housing, Production and Food for each adjacent Fishing Boat, and can be improved through further tech research later in the game.
- Special ability: Great Nusantara. Indonesia's uniqueability will cause coastal tiles to provide minor adjacency bonuses for certain districts, while Entertainment Complexes will also grant an extra Amenity if they are adjacent to a coastal tile that isn't a lake.
Do you play on Archipelago maps? Do you like winning? Look no further. Indonesian cities will absolutely thrive near the coast, and strong cities enable you to pursue practically any strategy. That said, you're missing an opportunity if you don't invest heavily in Faith: the Jong makes an ideal escort unit to spread your Missionaries all over the world for a religious win, but for the more martial-minded among you, you can invest Faith in your navy to dictate what happens on the water.
Probably don't pick Indonesia on Pangaea maps.
Civilization 6 Nubia
- Leader: Kandake (Queen) Amanitore. Nubia make their debut in the Civilization franchise under Amanitore, who ruled the ancient Kushitic Kingdom of Meroë at a time when its builders were flourishing; more than two hundred Nubian Pyramids were built around her reign. Appropriately, her leader ability – Kandake of Meroë – is all about production. It gives +20% production towards all districts, which rises to +40% if there is a Nubian Pyramid adjacent to the city centre.
- Unique unit:Pitati Archer. Is both stronger and faster than the Archer it replaces. If you're in a belligerent mood, abuse Ta-Seti to spam these early, go barbarian hunting, and enjoy a deadly army of experienced ranged units. If you start with lots of luxury or bonus resources, upkeep is solved (see Ta-Seti).
- Unique tile improvement:Nubian Pyramid. Provides faith, and gives bonuses based on adjacent districts, or food if adjacent to a city centre. Can only be built in deserts, desert hills, or floodplains. Requires Masonry.
- Special ability:Ta-Seti.Nubia get +50% production towards ranged units, and all ranged units get a +50% bonus to experience gain. Also, all Mines give +1 production if built on strategic resources, and +2 gold if built over luxury or bonus resources.
After some basically incidental bonuses with Germany and Russia, Civ VI finally gets a pure production-focused faction in Nubia. Beeline to Masonry, get those Pyramids up, and enjoy a borderline stupid +40% production bonus to every single district you'd like to build, not to mention some extra food to grow your city. Pyramids are limited to deserts, but your start bias should enable you to get at least three powerful cities up and running early doors. A strong army of high-ranked ranged units should be equally easy to develop, and that's a lead that'll be hard to rein in.
Civilization VI Macedon
- Leader:Alexander the Great.Finally.Itdidn't feel like Civ without Alex – he's been in every game in the series and rightly so, as perhaps the most successful general the world had yet seen at his time. Predictably, Macedon under him is one of the strongest military civs in the entire game: his unique ability is To The World's End, which reduces war weariness, so Macedon can stay at war for longer. Additionally, Alex, like Teddy, has his own unique unit: the Hetairoi replaces the Horseman, and comes with a free promotion.
- Unique unit:Hypaspist. Macedon's unit replaces the Swordsman and gets bonus combat strength when besieging districts, plus extra support bonuses.
- Unique building:Basilikoi Paides, which loosely translates to 'royal page school'. Produces science whenever its host city trains a non-civilian unit, and gives additional bonuses when training specific military units. Judging from the video, it looks like you can build these in encampment districts.
- Special ability:Hellenistic Fusion. Whenever Macedon captures a city, they get various bonuses according to the districts it has – a eureka moment toward a civic is shown as an example of this in the Macedon announcement video.
Wow, that looks strong. Warmongering civs often have to stop kicking tail to catch up on science or culture, or just because of war weariness, but with Macedon and Alex, you keep your foot on the gas forwaylonger. If you're not killing everything in sight for at least as long as your UUs are relevant, you're doing it wrong.
Macedon, like Persia, were added to Civilization VI in the spring 2017 update. Check theMacedon orspring updateannouncements for more.
Civilization VI Persia
- Leader: Cyrus II, also called Cyrus the Great. Through a series of brilliant campaigns and surprise invasions, Cyrus established the Achaemenid empire – the largest the world had ever seen until the conquests of Alexander the Great. His ability is Fall of Babylon, which grants bonus movement to all Persian units after declaring a surprise war. Cyrus also gets reduced diplomatic penalties for surprise wars.
- Unique unit:Immortal. Persia's famous elite infantry replace Swordsmen. Immortals get a ranged attack, but unlike most ranged units, also have strong melee defence.
- Unique improvement:Pairidaeza,or Persian Gardens. Provides culture, gold and appeal, with bonuses for adjacent districts and city centres. Their yields increase over time as you advance through the tech and civics trees, so build them up early to become a cultural or economic power by the end-game.
- Special ability:Satrapeha.Persia gets a free trade route when Political Philosophy is researched, and receives bonuses to internal trade routes.
Persia were added to Civilization VI in the spring 2017 update. Check the Persia or spring update announcements for more.
Civilization VI Australia
- Leader: John Curtin, Australia's 14th prime minister and its leader during most of the Second World War, when he defended the nation from the Japanese and unified its many states, putting the country on firm footing to recover after the war. His ability is Citadel of Civilisation, which grants Australia bonus production at the start of a defensive war, or whenever it liberates a city.
- Unique unit: Digger. The affectionate nickname for Australian troops in the 20th century, Diggers replace Infantry. They get bonus combat strength when fighting outside friendly territory, or on land tiles adjacent to water.
- Unique improvement:Outback Station. Unlocked with the Guilds civic, and upgraded with Steam Power and Rapid Deployment, Outback Stations provide food and production, with bonus food for adjacent pastures. In addition, new pastures will trigger a 'culture bomb' effect, and will steal adjacent tiles from other civs and city-states. In the video above, it looks like this will only occur when a pasture is built next to an existing Outback Station.
- Special ability:Land Down Under.Cities get extra housing when built on coastal tiles, and campuses, commercial hubs, holy sites and theatre squares get additional yields when built on tiles with charming or breathtaking appeal.
This is the first time Australia are 'officially' added to a Civilization game. They don't have a confirmed release date or price yet, but if they cost the same as Poland, expect them to go for £3.99, or $4.99 US. You can learn more at the announcement here.
Civilization VI Poland
- Leader:King Jadwiga, also called Hedwig, Poland's first female monarch. Crowned 'king' because it was 1384 and 'queen' meant consort back then, and the Polish lords who hated her intended husband wanted to make clear that she should rule. Her ability is Lithuanian Union; if you founded a religion as Poland, it will become the majority religion in any rival city whose territory you steal through Golden Liberty. Jadwiga also gets bonus gold, culture and faith from relic great works, and extra Holy Site adjacency bonuses.
- Unique unit:Winged Hussar. If it does more damage than its opponent when attacking, it pushes the enemy unit back a tile. Enemies who can't retreat take additional damage.
- Unique building:Sukiennice, or Cloth Hall. Provides bonus production from foreign trade routes, and bonus gold from domestic ones.
- Special ability:Golden Liberty.When you complete an encampment or fort in friendly territory, it will claim nearby tiles,evenif they belong to a rival civ. It looks like this will destroy enemy Wonders rather than claim them for yourself, which is still a pretty horrid result for your opponent. One of Poland's military policy slots is also turned into a Wildcard slot.
Poland are Civ 6's first paid DLC, and are available to purchase now. You canpick them up on Steamfor £3.99, or $4.99 US.
Civilization VI America
- Leader:Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States. He gives America a combat bonus for fighting on the home continent and gives a bonus to national park's cultural output. He also has his own unique unit, the Rough Riders, a special type of cavalry that get combat bonuses in hills, give culture for kills on the home continent and are cheap to maintain.
- Unique unit:P-51 Mustang.A superior fighter aircraft that does extra damage and has better range.

The scale of mobile payments in China staggers the Western imagination.
In 2017, $15.4 trillion in mobile payments were processed, 54% by Alipay, and 39% by Tencent's WeChat Pay. By the most generous estimation, the U.S. market, though growing steadily, processes a tiny fraction of that amount.
The payment solutions company SwiftPass, headquartered in Shenzhen, China, is looking to change that with the humble QR code. When consumers think of mobile payments in the U.S., the NFC employed by Apple Pay and Google Pay gets more attention, but it is the QR code that has had greater success, employed by Starbucks, and many independent coffee shops and quick-service restaurants using private-label solutions.
"Our customers are the banks," Tong Liu, international business development director at SwiftPass, told Bank Innovation. He noted that the company typically grows in new markets by working with acquiring institutions, and getting merchants to adopt the technology first.
The service, now available in more than 40 markets including the U.S. and Canada, began in China and formed early partnerships on the acquiring side with Ant Financial and Tencent, which together operate the country's dominant and ubiquitous payment platforms, said CEO Daniel Xian.
SwiftPass settled on QR codes because of their cost-effectiveness and ease of use for merchants. SwiftPass gives a QR code to the merchant to acquire payments, and that code can be displayed a number of ways. "You don't even need a smartphone," said Liu. "A merchant can set up a card with a QR code by the register."
But the company is not only about QR codes. It offers a full stack of payments solutions, including provisioning virtual credit cards, cryptocurrency payments, and cross-border payments. It can also help merchants with marketing campaigns, gift cards, and loyalty programs.
"Mobile payments advanced quickly in China because of the lack of development of credit cards," Liu said. "Merchants can adopt mobile payments at low cost, and it is more efficient for them." Liu pointed out that merchants using mobile payments enjoyed lower MDR (merchant discount rate) or interchange fees than standard card use, as well as essentially universal acceptance, always key for merchants.
Another advantage of mobile payments is additional data to merchants, Liu said, and this may be important for establishing mobile payments in the U.S. via loyalty and rewards "Mobile allows more communication between merchant and user," he said. "The user makes a purchase, and the merchant can make an additional offer."
In its many markets, SwiftPass's business development team helped banks acquire the merchants, Liu said.
"The history of SwiftPass is the history of mobile payments in China," CEO Daniel Xian said. The company grew to its present 40-plus markets helping spread WeChat and Alipay.
The U.S. may not enjoy the same objective conditions as China, but Xian still sees success for mobile payments in the U.S. "It takes time and needs time to develop the habit. Getting merchant scale is easy, but scaling users is different."
Though banks are often criticized for letting opportunities pass them by, Xian said banks in both China and world widely were not asleep while payments grew beside them and always seeking opportunities to provide better and comprehensive services to their clients. "Banks might have developed their own payments & systems," he said, "but in the past, they hardly compete with Tencent & Alipay and other global fintech giants, etc." Tencent won because it has over 1 billion social media users, and people open their app dozens of times a day. " In the competition between Tencent and Alibaba, Alibaba needed to spend lots of money on the consumer side to educate the user."
In the U.S. he said, it will be similar. "The market is still waiting for a serious player, or by a combination of bank and fintech company, to burn money to earn market share."

Theme: The personal rituals shared between lady friends.
Written by Melissa
One thing I'm not good at is routine or rituals. I find it a struggle to stick to a rigid timetable. I'm the queen of variation. Was amongst those who skipped with joy at the introduction of flexible work hours. And "lady rituals" are a no no. It's a struggle to put deodorant on. I wax my legs only because it means I don't have to bother with them for another six weeks, and even then, my work is patchy, literally. Too many summer engagements when I'd look down to see a hairy bracelet around one ankle. I avoid any interference with my bikini line as I've found pruning requires extra effort and any hair with follicles like eagle claws deserves to stay there. They only punish you with in-growing hair and puss bubbles. Besides there's never a good time to own an itchy crack.
But lady-friend rituals, I slip into like silk stockings. Call the time and place and I'm there. It usually involves a combination of the following: wine, food, music, living rooms, green spaces. I tend to shy away from gendering. Girls in pink. Boys in blue. But I have to confess, as I've grown older, my friendships have become more one-sided. Perhaps it's because I've been in a relationship six years and my pheromones have been oozing "taken mate" (though some call this body odour). I haven't quite put my finger on when my male mates disappeared. I've got couple-mates and mates of my boyfriend who I enjoy hanging out with, but my boyfriend is always there. I can't remember the last time I hung out with a boy who was just my platonic boy mate, me and him, sharing time together. My mate John once took me to the Royal Society of Surgeons Hunterian Museum in Holborn to see things cut in half and displayed in formaldehyde – that was nice. But John moved up North. Joe moved to Sweden. Ben got married and disappeared inside a stack of nappies. I amassed two boy mates from six years at two universities. Dorian, who litters my facebook with profanities but never comes to my parties (also a dad). Which leaves Stuart, who bakes me peanut chocolate cookies at the weekend, he's a keeper.
So with that, I've come to rely on my lady folk. And what a pleasure this has been. It started with my original party crew – that group of mates you meet in your early twenties and share cigarettes and toilets with. We used to stay up all night playing Singstar and vinyl until the neighbours complained, one particular neighbour thought we were crazy voodoo people after lighting an 8-foot tall burning man in the corner of a garden not much bigger. And we'd talk, deep stuff that sounded intellectual because words like dialectic would be slung in. I remember having an epiphany about my master's dissertation at a Serge Gainsbourg tribute with Jarvis Cocker, leaving my seat to write furiously on any napkin the waiter could give me. The next day I read it through my hangover, excited that the dawn of my genius had risen but it was basically a sketchy load of crap. My mate Kate, who always consoles me over a pot of tea, told me this regularly happens to her in the haze of sunshine and cider. Kate lived above me and we became close friends. I cried when she got pregnant; I'd lost my drinking buddy. Cried more when she called London a day, moving her, John, and baby Iggy back up North. Aside from yellow police MURDER signs she'd navigate the buggy around, what really did it was Iggy's first word, 'ball', sounding like Phil Mitchell from Eastenders. Kate's soul is a fusion of London and New York but her heart is found in the Lakes District, Cumbria.
Despite my own shortcomings, I have a friend who I'm addicted to the smell of, Flora. Funny how just writing this and seeing her name makes me laugh. So yes, Flora smells nice. I wish I could bottle it. I feel a kind of sisterhood vibe when we're together. It started at a garden party. Flora had shortish very blond hair. We giggled all night. We both had boyfriends at the end of their life span. We both became single. We went to Thailand with another lady friend, Lizzy, and that really solidified it all. Once she had me, hook, line and sinker, she left to teach for two years in Hong Kong. Another one who wanted to pause button London's grind. I lost Kate, Lizzy, Lottie, Lucy (she came back, then left again), Karin and Chloe, not to mention all my postgrad buddies, all to the transience of our Capital, in which I was born and bred. I hoped Flora would return but she just married a guy out there and is expecting her first child.
Much as I don't dig a routine or ritual, I'm not massively comfortable when friendships change. It's something that never comes easy and takes time to accept. I just found out I'm pregnant, and last night had to give my apologies to the Sushi & Wine Wednesday over in Oval with the fun-time lasses from Newcastle and Brighton. When I told them, I got the reply 'another one bites the dust' with a series of red wine emojis. Now I'm the one disturbing patterns, changing the status. For my original party crew, I'm playing catch up – they're babied up and bagging bin-liners for me. To the subsequent friendships, I'm spearheading the way. The first to lay down the wine glass. Like my GMGM buddy, Jess wrote in her last piece, who knows how having a baby changes things. But for now, my friendship hopes to grow stronger and certainly isn't going anywhere. Just like my bikini line.

Patrick Kielty's family rejected 'revenge' offer from IRA following father's murder
Co Down comedian Patrick Kielty has told how the IRA offered "revenge" for the murder of his father by loyalist paramilitaries.
Kielty's father Jack was shot dead by the UFF in 1988 in Dundrum.
The comedian makes the claim in a new BBC 1 documentary set to be broadcast on Wednesday evening.
He said that his family rejected the IRA's offer "in no uncertain terms."
In 'My Dad, the Peace Deal and Me', Kielty reveals how his uncle was approached by the IRA at the graveyard.
He says an IRA man said to his uncle: "We could properly use a couple of good smart, strong, strapping lads like those Kielty lads if they are interested in revenge."
Kielty said: "They were told in no uncertain terms where to go. My dad died for nothing - he wasn't a political figure, he wasn't taking a stand.
"He had a building firm, he employed both sides. That wouldn't be considered a stand anywhere else. He was just doing the right thing."
Three men were convicted over the killing but were freed from prison after the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
The documentary sees Kielty explore the legacy of the Good Friday Agreement 20 years on. He reveals he voted in favour of it.
However, he meets DUP leader Arlene Foster, whose police officer father was shot by the IRA but survived.
The former First Minister of Northern Ireland herself survived a bomb attack on her school bus. She told Kielty that she did not vote in favour of the agreement because of prisoner releases.
She said: "How can you allow people who have committed some of the most hideous crimes just walk free as if they had done nothing?"
Kielty tells Mrs Foster that he voted 'yes' despite knowing it would lead to release of the men who murdered his father.
"That's true for you, but for others they want justice," she replied.
"Sadly, there are some people that still want retribution. That's why, 20 years later, we're talking of the legacy of the troubles and struggling with how to deal with it."
Around 500 prisoners were released under the terms of the agreement. More than half of them from the IRA.
Among the other people the comedian meets in the documentary are former UVF prisoner and PUP politician Billy Hutchinson and the founder of the 'Children in the Crossfire' charity, Richard Moore.

A friend of mine is working on the celebrations surrounding the Volvo Ocean Race and flagged this photo competition to me. It seems the race is everywhere – Lyric fm are broadcasting from there today and it's been all over the media for the last few weeks. The competition sounds kinda cool – the idea is to demonstrate through photos the amazing quality of life in the west of Ireland. I'm really late coming to this and the deadline for photos is tomorrow but if you were there over the last few weeks and have deadly photos as a result head over to the pix.ie pages and upload. There's loads of camera gear on offer for comp winners.

2014 Honda-Riley TUDOR Prototype
With Mazda and Nissan back into top-level U.S. racing with its own TUDOR United SportsCar Championship prototypes, Honda Performance Development (HPD), Honda's North American racing company, has created a brand new Daytona Prototype race car.
Powered by a twin-turbocharged, race-spec version of the 3.5-liter, V-6 engine found in numerous Honda and Acura road cars and pickup trucks, the Daytona Prototype LMP1 machine will be run by Starworks Motorsport in this year's TUDOR USCC series.
Honda declined to unveil the amount of power this new engine generates, but said that the unit utilizes numerous production-based components, including block and heads, crankshaft, direct injection fuel system, valvetrain components and alternator. Additionally, HPD also made use of Honda's stock oil filter.
This is not the first time the Japanese manufacturer dusts off the J35 engine for motorsport use. Variations of the mill have been previously seen motivating race cars in Japan's SuperGT Championship, the One Lap of America rally (created by Brock Yates) and the iconic Pikes Peak International Hillclimb.
The new LMP1 one entry will join Honda's efforts in the LMP2 category, where Extreme Speed Motorsports will continue to race two Honda ARX-03b vehicles this season.
Click past the jump to read more about the Honda-Riley TUDOR Prototype.
2014 Honda-Riley TUDOR Prototype
Displacement:3.5 L
0-60 time:4 sec. (Est.)
Top Speed:200 mph (Est.)
car segment:
body style:
Unlike its competitors, Mazda's attempt to win the prototype class in the new TUDOR United SportsCar Championship will be fueled by a diesel engine. Specifically, the Japanese are bringing their Skyactiv technology to American tracks in the shape of a modified 2.2-liter, four-cylinder engine that generates 450 horsepower and 580 pound-feet of torque.
Power is sent to the forged aluminum Motegi wheels via a six-speed sequential XTrac transmission operated by paddle shifters, while a set of carbon AP brakes will be in charge with preventing the prototype from going in the green.
The Daytona Prototype-approved body features a comprehensive list of aerodynamic tweaks that could enable diesel-powered Mazda to take on the almighty Audi R18 e-tron quattro. Unfortunately, the Skyactiv prototype won't be seen at Le Mans this year, leaving the Ingolstadt stable to race against Porsche and Toyota.
2014 Ford Riley Technologies Daytona Prototype
Just like Honda, the 2014 Ford Riley prototype is also using a 3.5-liter, V-6 engine. However, the latter comes with an EcoBoost badge and already has two Daytona International Speedway records to brag about. Both of them were established in October 2013 when the prototype set 10-mile and 10-kilometer speed standards from a standing start at 210.017 mph and 203.010 mph respectively.
Developed in conjunction with Riley Technologies, the prototype racer sports an aerodynamic shell created by Ford production designer Garen Nicoghosian and Ford Racing chief of aerodynamics Bernie Marcus.
A Ford Riley EcoBoost prototype will be used by Chip Ganassi Racing, who switched from BMW, throughout the entire 2014 TUDOR United SportsCar Championship season.
Press Release
Honda has expanded its attack on the 2014 TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, and will join the Daytona Prototype category for the first time later this month at the 62nd annual Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.
Honda has a history of success at the Florida endurance racing classic, including LMP2 class victories in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013, and top-three overall race finishes in 2007 – the company's debut in sports-car racing under the Acura Motorsports banner – and again in 2011.
Honda Performance Development (HPD), Honda's North American racing company, has developed a new, 3.5-liter, twin-turbocharged Daytona Prototype version of the production J35 engine, the latest of several HPD racing applications for the V6 power plant found, in various forms, in a wide range of Honda and Acura passenger cars and light trucks.
"This is a great opportunity for HPD and our customer teams in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship," said Steve Eriksen, HPD vice president and COO. "Adding a Daytona Prototype effort alongside the proven HPD-Honda chassis and engine combination in LMP2 provides Honda with a strong and balanced attack in the inaugural TUDOR Championship."
Honda joins Chevrolet and Ford in the Daytona Prototype manufacturer ranks and becomes the only company to field efforts in both categories that make up the new Prototype class in the TUDOR United Sports Car Championship.
Honda Enters Daytona Prototype Competition
In the companion LMP2 prototype category, HPD produces a complete chassis-engine package, including the ARX-03b chassis and Honda 2.8-liter HR28TT twin-turbo V6 engines, in competition with both Nissan and Mazda. This combination results in an impressive five-manufacturer lineup vying for Prototype honors in the 2014 TUDOR championship.
Both HPD-developed Honda engines used in the TUDOR championship are derived from the same Honda J35 series of production V6 engines and include relevant twin-turbocharger technology, along with the efficiency provided by direct fuel injection. Key production-based components that are utilized include block and heads, crankshaft, direct injection fuel system, valve train components, drive-by-wire throttle, alternator, sensors, fasteners, etc. The engine even utilizes a stock Honda oil filter.
Other variants of the engine have been raced in Japan's Autobacs SuperGT Championship, the One Lap of America competitive rally and the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.
The Daytona Prototype Honda Riley package will debut at Sebring fielded by Starworks Motorsport, while Extreme Speed Motorsports will continue to field a pair of HPD ARX-03b Hondas created to LMP2 specifications, continuing a partnership that began in 2013.
Honda Performance Development (HPD) is the Honda racing company within North America. Located in Santa Clarita, Calif., HPD is the technical operations center for high-performance Honda racing cars and engines. The company marked its 20th anniversary in 2013.
As an engine supplier to the IZOD IndyCar Series, Honda has scored 204 race victories in both CART and IZOD IndyCar Series competition since 1994 and powered Scott Dixon to a series-high four victories and the 2013 IZOD IndyCar Series drivers' championship.

Domain 2.0: Laptops and Portable Devices - Other Portable Devices
:: Return to the Index ::
Tablet PCs
Personal Digital Assistants
Laptops certainly aren't the only portable devices on the market and they certainly aren't the smallest. There are a wide variety of portable options available today, many of them providing some of the functionality of a computer. For example, an iPod can store music, contacts, photos, etc., however, these types of devices will not be covered by the exam because they aren't full-fledged computing devices. In this section, we are going to cover the devices that are essentially mini computers.
Tablet PCs:
Tablet PCs come in 2 different form factors called Convertible and Slate (see right images). Slate varieties are flat and thin much like a tablet of paper. Convertible varieties can be configured just like a laptop or have the screen folded on top of the keyboard so that it resembles the slate variety. These devices have many of the same ports and slots that a laptop does. Many will have USB and/or firewire ports, PC Card or ExpressCard slots, and ethernet connection. Most tablet PCs have Bluetooth and WiFi capabilities as well. What you won't find on most of these devices is an internal optical drive.
You may be wondering how these devices function without a mouse and keyboard. Tablet PCs use a device called a digitizer which is usually located behind the LCD screen. This input device allows you to interact with the screen using a special pen called a stylus. There are a couple of different digitizer technologies available as follows:
Active Digitizer - In most current tablet PC's, an active digitizer is used. An active digitizer, used in most tablet PCs, can track the position of the pen when it is in proximity to the digitizer. This feature allows the user to "hover" over items on the screen. This can provide helpful functionality such as the ability to view tooltips and auto-hidden items, and to navigate through menus without accidentally activating an item. The advantage of using active digitizer is that only movement of the stylus affects the mouse pointer and ignores other contact like your hand on the screen.
Passive Digitizer - Passive digitizers are also known as touchscreens. This type only knows where the position of the finger is when the user presses down on it. This causes the pointer on the screen to jump to the location of the press and instantly "click". Passive digitizers are either capacitive or resistive. The capacitive touch screen panel is coated with a material that stores electrical charges. When the panel is touched, a small amount of charge is drawn from the point of contact (the finger). Circuits located at each corner of the panel measure the charge and send the information to the controller for processing. Capacitive touch screen panels must be touched with an unprotected finger. The resistive touchscreen panel is coated with a thin metallic electrically conductive and resistive layer that causes change in the electrical current which is registered as a touch event and sent to the controller for processing. The resistive touchscreen panel can be operated by fingertip, stylus, and does not need direct skin contact in order to operate. Both capacitive and resistive touchscreens offer lower accuracy and a higher rate of error such as the case when a user's hand rests on the screen surface. This makes them less common in tablet PCs.
Tablet PCs are fully functioning computers that can run an operating system such as Windows XP Tablet PC Edition. What makes this operating system very different is that it allows the user input data by either tapping keys on a virtual keyboard (on screen), or writing in a special window which is converted to text using character recognition software. Speech recognition is also being used with tablet PCs.
Tablet PCs offer another form of input called Digital Ink. Digital ink allows you to draw or write on the screen without the tablet trying to convert it to text or interpretting it as a click or double-click. This is useful if you want sketch a diagram or take some quick notes, for example.
Personal Digital Assistants:
Also known as PDAs, these devices are similar in some respects to tablet PCs, but are much smaller - most of them being handheld size. Input to a PDA is similar to that of a tablet PC. They use a stylus and a touchscreen that is similar to a passive digitizer in behavior. They also include a virtual keyboard, can use character recognition, or digital ink as input methods just like tablet PCs.
PDAs use memory sticks like a digital camera. The most commonly used types now are MiniSD and MicroSD which are smaller versions of the SD standard that are commonly used in cell phones.
PDAs run special operating systems which include Microsoft Windows CE, PalmOS, PocketPC, and some even run Linux. Most of these operating systems have the capability to sync with your computer. They either come with a cradle that is connected to the computer via a USB port (usually), or they sync via bluetooth. When you place the PDA in a cradle, it not only charges the device, but syncs the information with that on your computer. For example, let's say you met an old friend and added their contact information into the contacts on your PDA. When you place it in the cradle (or connect via bluetooth), that contact will be added to your contacts in Microsoft Outlook (for example). If you add a contact in Outlook, it will sync to your PDA as well.
Most PDAs have a built-in infrared port that is used for "beaming" which allows you to wirelessly transfer data from one PDA to another. For example, this would allow you to beam a picture from your PDA to a friend's. The limitation of this is that infrared has a limited range so you have to be pretty close to the other PDA (i.e. same room).
Many cell phones are now providing PDA-like features, many of which even provide email and web browsing through the cell phone network.

Within the framework of an Education Partnership, UNESCO and representatives of the Sport Movement will gather to discuss the development of a values education through sport (VETS) resource aimed at practically supporting curriculum delivery and empowering youth to make informed decisions.
The Education Partnership comprises the International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education (ICSSPE), the International Fair Play Committee (IFPC), the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and UNESCO.
Following a call in March 2014 for research proposals to map curriculum requirements globally and develop a values-based education resource (online and hard copy), work on the material has begun. Partnership representatives will meet to discuss progress made and to plan for the next project phases, namely stakeholder roles and responsibilities, the finalization of the tool and a dissemination plan.
The resource will be culturally appropriate and include age-specific materials designed for use across all curriculum subjects.

Bucket List Worthy
One of the great joys of travel is discovering the amazing landscapes that a new destinations can reveal. Whether hiking along a mountain trail, driving through a remote desert or simply sitting in the sand on a lovely beach, there is an undeniable pleasure to simply sitting back and taking in the beauty of our surroundings. But that beauty seems to only be enhanced by the light of the setting sun. The warm glow of twilight casts long shadows across the Earth that are both tranquil and breathtaking. With that in mind, here are 5 great places to catch a sunset from around the globe.
Australia's vast and untamed Northern Territory provides visitors with the quintessential Outback experience. Much of the NT is a rugged wilderness that is equal parts beautiful and demanding. During the dry season, much of the backcountry is burned off in order to prevent uncontrollable wildfires, and the smoke and ash tends to hang in the air, enhancing the reds, pinks and yellows of the sun's last light. While Northern Territory sunsets are fantastic just about everywhere, I'd recommend a cruise aboard a sailing ship just offshore from the NT's capital of Darwin for the most absolutely stunning views.
With an almost unbelievable number of shades of reds and golds splayed out across its towering sand dunes and massive rock faces, Jordan's Wadi Rum is a captivating landscape any time of the day. In the early evening, the region, which was once famously home to Laurence of Arabia's ragtag resistance fighters, becomes ablaze with light and shadow. At that time of the day, the landscape becomes eerily quiet and the Earth practically stands still, bringing an unexpected peacefulness that is both welcome and profound.
The Serengeti is well known for being one of the best safari destinations in all of Africa. During the annual Great Migration, there are literally hundreds of thousands of animals on the move across its wide open plains. But the endless grasslands of the Serengeti also make for a dramatic backdrop for beautiful sunsets as well. Watching that glowing ball of fire slowly sink behind an acacia tree, while a herd of elephants wanders off into the twilight, is a sublime experience to say the least.
Selecting Hawaii probably seems like a bit of a cliche, but when a destination lives up to the hype, it is well worth mentioning. Watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean from just about any beach on Maui will deliver a memorable experience that travelers will be raving about for years to come. But for the best views, head to Launipoko Beach Park, a favorite destination for the locals that is generally free from too much traffic.
Located in northern Chile, the Atacama Desert is the driest place on the planet. Caught in the rain shadow of two mountain ranges, there are places in the Atacama that have not seen precipitation in recorded history. This makes for a rugged and harsh environment that features towering sand dunes, snowcapped peaks and a surprising amount of geothermal activity. As twilight creeps across the land, those landscapes are awash in shades of red and yellow, giving them a glow that must be seen to be believed. Catching a sunset over the massive salt flats in the area only adds to that otherworldly feel.

All breaches are not created equal. Those with malicious intent cost organizations on average nearly twice ($840,000) as much as those with non-malicious designs ($470,000), according to a new study commissioned by Solera Networks and undertaken by the Ponemon Institute.
The report, "The Post Breach Boom," surveyed security practitioners in the U.S., Canada, UK, Australia, Brazil, Japan, Singapore and United Arab Emirates. All participants in the study represent organizations that had one or more data security breaches in the past 24 months. The results were unveiled on Tuesday at the annual RSA conference.
While the cost of malevolent attacks will take a larger bite out of the company wallet, the fact that only 40% of survey respondents say they have the tools, personnel and funding to pinpoint the root causes should surprise very few.
"[The] study confirms that organizations are facing a growing flood of increasingly malicious data breaches, and they don't have the tools, staff or resources to discover and resolve them," said Dr. Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder, Ponemon Institute.
This theme of resource depravation and under preparedness was echoed at several of this week's RSA Conference sessions.
According to Mark Weatherford, Deputy Under Secretary for Cybersecurity at the Department of Homeland Security, who spoke on the federal government's cybersecurity "brain drain," finding enough personnel to handle these types of incidents is still a work in progress as government officials strive to build an information exchange to locate quality potential hires.
"Sometimes we literally write down names on the back of a napkin," he said.
Having the tools is one thing, but utilizing them in preparation for the inevitable breach should be the new global security mantra.
At her talk on the new cyber threat landscape, veteran prosecutor Kim Peretti, who spent years prosecuting some of the world's most sophisticated cyber crime rings as a senior litigator for the Department of Justice's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section, said current breach investigations are often not thorough enough.
"Criminals have changed and continue to try and maintain deep and prolonged access," she maintained.
Their aim is to return and do additional harm, something that could – and does – cost organizations far more than dollars.
Motivations and lack of resources aside, nearly a third of all malicious breaches were not even caught by the victim organization, according to the study. Instead, the impacted group is often notified by a third party, like law enforcement or a customer, or even discovered by accident.
Peretti maintains that information sharing is key to properly investigating and mitigating these cyber threats. She points to the recent Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks as evidence that a new effort towards collaboration can help lessen the impact of malicious breaches.
"The DDOS attacks are a great example of how important information sharing is," she said.
Knowing the source of such malicious attacks and being in a position to have that information beforehand is paramount to streamlining breach investigations. This sort of collaboration could eventually lead to shorter response times, another area where enterprises were lacking.
"Months are passing as [organization's] key information assets are left exposed," said Poneomon. "The results demonstrate a clear need for greater and faster visibility--as well as a need to know the root cause of the breaches themselves--in order to close this persistent window of exposure."
According to the study, it took affected companies on average 80 days to discover a breach and another 40 additional days to remedy the breach – a gap that needn't exist.
"Incident response is now outdated," said Peretti. "Within hours, it is now crisis management."
And as is evidenced by the study's findings, organizations need to react accordingly.

Imagine the scene – camping in the National Forest, sun on your skin, great company, delicious food, amazing music, comedy, the arts and more workshops than you can shake a stick at. Well I didn't have to imagine that was my weekend. Last Friday I packed up my tent and headed to Moira in The National Forest for Timber Festival.
After pitching our living quarters for the weekend we headed down to the main festival site. Grabbed some drinks from the on-site bar and wandered through the forest to see what sites befell us. We were definitely not disappointed – The Museum of The Moon astounded us, the sweet sweet tunes of Rhain Music amazed us and we nibbled on food from the on-site vendors. The biggest hardship was choosing from the masses of things to do. We decided to take it easy on our first night so we settled down on a grassy knowl for a night of serene and satisfying music. The drinks flowed and the setting was sublime.
Day 2 comprised of exploring Timber Festival, basking in the sunshine and taking in a comedy night. Mark Dolan of Balls of Fire was our host and newcomers Joey Page and Bilal provided laughs a-plenty. A particular favourite was the morning yoga sessions and also the tai chi. Perfect for aligning my body and soul. We also adored the woodland library which allowed us to take a breather from an action-packed weekend by relaxing with a good book in the supplied hammocks.
There were plenty of culinary options – burritos, Indian street food, pizza, burgers, vegan and veggie choices and ice-cream. They even had an on-site coffee van which made the most amazing iced coffees and flat whites.
There was so much to do at Timber Festival that we didn't manage to do everything. the live music acts were amazing. Folksy singers belting out songs in the sunshine were magic. One guest was even playing the harp. The harp gives out such a beautiful sound.
We departed Sunday evening so we missed out on the masked ball unfortunately. I would have loved to stay for that but I was back to work first thing Monday morning. Timber really is my perfect festival – a chilled laid-back atmosphere, great music and a whole host of activities to sink my teeth into. I can't wait for next year.
Sign up to the eNews at www.timberfestival.org.uk to be the first to hear about dates and early bird tickets for 2019.
*Disclaimer: The lovely people at Wild Rumpus gifted me tickets but all opinions are 100% my own honest thoughts.

11th Mile
A chef-owned restaurant in the heart of downtown Fredericton, 11th mile is often mistaken for a cocktail bar. But don't get it twisted, the food is the star of the show. 11th Mile's Instagram-worthy decor and modern soundtrack give it a big-city feel that has kicked off a fresh concept for the Fredericton dining scene. With a focus on Social Dining, a menu of shareable plates and craft cocktails encourages guests to stay awhile and enjoy the Maritime hospitality.
"Updating familiar drinks is a fun way to introduce people to unfamiliar ingredients, in this case: Campari. People are willing to try it because they recognize the Cosmopolitan, but this is usually the best Cosmo they've ever had."
Jennie Wilson, Owner/Mixologist
Make Cosmos Great Again
1 ½ oz Vodka
¾ oz Campari
¾ oz simple syrup
½ oz lime juice
½ oz lemon juice
For best results use fresh simple syrup and freshly squeezed citrus juice. Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, shake hard for several seconds, and double strain into a chilled glass.

I've recently been working with Mark Wilkinson, head coach at Windsor Boys' School Boat Club, to develop functionality and movement in rowers, with the specific aim of improving performance in rowing whilst preventing injury. We are trying to develop individualised training programmes to strengthen particular areas of vulnerability in athletes, as well as creating more exciting and challenging training programmes.
Rowing is, contrary to appearance, a pushing sport. Force is applied by the legs and glutes and then transmitted along the backs and arms to the oars. To do this effectively, the back must be straight throughout the stroke, particularly when the force is initially applied by the legs. To get further forward and increase the length of the stroke at the Catch, the body must tip forward and pivot over the hips during the Recovery Phase, with the back kept straight.
A common problem is that rowers don't pivot over their hips, but bend forward in their backs and collapse over the knees. This reduces their range and power, because the force is not transmitted to the arms as efficiently. That force instead pushes out through the back where the bend is, causing prolapsed discs and other injuries. So, finding a way to overcome this challenge not only increases rowing performance, but reduces injury. We have approached it using techniques learned from our own experiences with osteopaths, physiotherapists, rehabilitation and training as top level athletes.
The bending of the back usually comes from weakness in one or more areas: primarily the hamstrings and the thoracic region of the spine; also the glutes, calves and chest. These areas have become inflexible due to poor posture, lack of dynamic use, or the body limiting mobility to protect an old injury. As a result of immobility in these areas, the body enables the movement through hyper-mobility in other areas, particularly the spine.
To get these areas mobile we used dynamic ballistic exercise, as well as stretches from yoga and Egoscue. We put the body into positions where it cannot "cheat" and compensate for immobility in one area by hyper-mobilising other areas. Instead the body has to mobilise these areas to achieve the movement. Another effect of this training is creating awareness of the movement for the athlete. By feeling an exaggerated version of the movement he is aiming for, the athlete can achieve it in compound movements.
Based on only a few sessions the results have already been impressive, with greater mobility in the target areas, improved proprioception and greater self-awareness in the athletes of the movements they are trying to achieve. In my next post I will discuss specific exercises for mobilising particular "locks" and for developing feedback of particular movements to increase self-awareness.

Peace Through Violence: CNN's Radical Chic Moment
CNN screwed up. And it reminds me of an incident from 1970. A headline writer admitted that the Antifa terror group seeks "peace through violence." Later, presumably after receiving threats from Antifa terrorists, CNN removed the "peace through violence" sub-head. But the damage was done. CNN stumbled onto real news. Real news that exposes Antifa's terrorist aims. Before we get to the dangers of normalizing political violence, aka "terrorism," let's remember a famous party.Read more

Former Mexico coach Osorio takes charge of Paraguay
Paraguay have appointed Juan Carlos Osorio as their new coach following his World Cup exploits with Mexico.
Osorio's Mexico earned admirers for their style of play in Russia despite being under pressure from supporters prior to the tournament.
They were eliminated by Brazil in the last 16 and Osorio opted to part ways with Mexico thereafter , with other teams said to be keeping tabs on his situation.
The United States and his native Colombia were said to be particularly keen, with the latter reportedly initially bracing themselves for Jose Pekerman stepping down.
But instead Paraguay will be Osorio's destination, with his tenure to see him lead the South American nation at the 2019 Copa America and 2022 World Cup qualification campaign.
Paraguay have failed to qualify for the last two World Cups, most recently appearing at the 2010 tournament in South Africa.
