Therapy that tries to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of Ontario kids and youth is now illegal.
Bill 77, the "Affirming Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Act," was made law Thursday. In addition to banning "conversion therapy" for anyone under 18, it also makes sure that public health insurance won't cover it for anyone, of any age.
The bill was introduced by Cheri DiNovo, the New Democrat Party (NDP) MPP for Parkdale - High Park, in April. In a rather rare example of solidarity, the bill passed through its three readings without anyone speaking out in opposition. Many, in fact, spoke out in support of the bill.
Kathleen Wynne, Ontario's first out gay premier, said conversion therapy has no place in Ontario.
"It's so important that we make it clear that people have the right to be who they are in Ontario," Wynne said, according to the Toronto Sun.
The bill's Justice Committee hearing also brought out emotional testimony from Ontarians who've undergone various forms of conversion therapy. Mike Smith, now an LGBTQ support worker, said he was told he needed to be "fixed" in order to be happy, and that this message left him contemplating suicide."
"The messages they were sending to me is you can only be happy as a straight man," he told the committee.
Supporters of the bill say it could very well save lives. A 2010 study from Trans PULSE found 47% of trans people in Ontario age 16-24 had considered suicide and 19% had attempted to take their own lives in the previous year.

Nude by Nature BB 5-in-1 Miracle Cream in Light review and swatch :
This post marks the first time I've ever genuinely bought something for this blog. Sure, I say I'm buying things for the blog all the time, but that's just my fall-back excuse when I can't think of any logical justification for my purchase. For example:
You realize you don't actually wear eyeshadow.
I know that. It's for the blog.
Sucked in sensible friend, I really bought it because I wanted it for no reason.
I like Australian natural beauty brand Nude by Nature and I like BB creams, so simple mathematics tells me that I should really like Nude by Nature's latest offering, the BB 5-in-1 Miracle Cream ($19.95 AUD/50mL). BB creams, first popularized in Asia, are a foundation-like cream with added sunscreen and other skincare benefits. The Nude by Nature BB 5-in-1 Miracle Cream promises to deliver the 'miracles' of skin hydration, radiance, correction, and protection. That's a fairly low threshold for a miracle, isn't it, but oh well. On first swatch in Priceline, I was put off by the very light colour and sheer coverage, but I bought it anyway because there's not much information about this product available online yet.
The BB 5-in-1 Miracle Cream comes packaged in a squeeze tube:
On first squeezing some out of the tube, the BB 5-in-1 Miracle Cream in Light is a pink-based porcelain colour and has a thick, cream consistency. It has a comforting botanical smell.
However, once I rubbed it in, I found the colour adjusted more to my skin tone (or more likely, I adjusted to the colour). It didn't quite want to rub in for me, but when it did, it left a natural, satin finish. As you can see, the BB 5-in-1 Miracle Cream offers very sheer to sheer coverage.
There are times when I prefer sheer coverage, but probably not this sheer. I've only worn the Nude by Nature BB 5-in-1 Miracle Cream in Light once so far, but I found that although it felt lovely on my skin, it didn't have great lasting power. I do believe that BB creams are generally quite different from tinted moisturisers, but the Nude by Nature BB 5-in-1 Miracle Cream inLight is very much like one. If cruelty free + creamy texture + sheer coverage ticks boxes for you, then you're onto a winner. If you're a fair-bear, even better.
Now, I'm off to buy some totally nonsensical beauty products. IT'S FOR THE BLOG Post.
Note: As mentioned, Nude by Nature is a cruelty-free brand.

Questions About Reviews You Must Know the Answers To
What Are The Effects Of Using Natural Skin Care Products? There are lots of personal skin care products that are being sold in various retail stores which contain harmful chemicals that may be hard on the skin. The ingredients it has could be anything from synthetic fragrances, preservatives, dyes and detergents to which can potentially cause allergic reactions and dry out the skin especially those who are sensitive in some chemical compounds. As a matter of fact, not many have ideas on how to buy natural skin care products. You, might just be curious about these natural products but aren't certain on how to find them or, you could have just seen natural skin care merchandises in local store but not sure if they're good or effective to try. A number of department stores are carrying some products or brands but you can't be certain if they're good. It is relatively easy to shop for one than what you have in mind, just make yourself aware of the next points. The first thing that you ought to do is to figure out if you want skin care products or perhaps cosmetics. Well, if you are after the two, you should look for a company that sells both. Through this, it is guaranteeing that buying products you wanted will be more convenient. Companies that sell both skin care and cosmetic products have similar ingredients in all other products they sell.
A Simple Plan For Investigating Skincare
If you're only seeking for skin care products, then you might want to consider reading the store prior to deciding to buy. By doing so, you will have the chance to see reviews from customers or feedback from those who bought their products.
What Research About Skincare Can Teach You
Try finding a shop that carries a brand offering only natural products if you're more comfortable buying natural skin care products in a brick and mortar store. Be sure that you know the ingredients used in it if you've opted to buy a product from brands that are also selling synthetic products. Before shopping at a store, try reading about which brand the store has. You can get to read ingredients and also, research for the product before going to the store. As long as you do research and search for companies that have been in the business, shopping for natural skin care does not need to be hard. Doing so will make you happy and satisfied with your purchase and your skin would be less likely irritated when using ingredients that are organic. You are going to notice that your skin is brighter and glowing after weeks or months of constant use. These are just some of the many good benefits of using natural skin care products.

Twins Unravel Against Indians
CLEVELAND, OH -- The Minnesota Twins managed only two hits and struck out 16 times in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Cleveland Indians.
Minnesota grabbed an early 1-0 lead on a leadoff home run by Brian Dozier -- his 4th of the season -- off of Indians starter Danny Salazar.
It was all downhill from that point on for the Twins as Salazar retired 21 straight batters, surrendering just the one hit while striking out 11 in seven innings.
Conversely, Twins starter Trevor May struggled -- allowing nine hits and six runs (five in the fourth inning) over just four innings of work.
With the loss, the Twins fall to 18-14 on the season.
Minnesota will travel to Detroit to take on the Tigers on Tuesday night with Kyle Gibson set to take the mound against Alfrtedo Simon for a 6:10 p.m. start.

A car has crashed into security barriers outside the Houses of Parliament, injuring a number of pedestrians.
Metropolitan police have arrested one man in connection with the incident.
In a statement, Scotland Yard said:
At 7.37am today, (August 14), a car was in collision with barriers outside the Houses of Parliament.
The male driver of the car was detained by officers at the scene. A number of pedestrians have been injured. Officers remain at the scene.
We will issue further information when we have it.
NBC News correspondent, Vincent McAviney, posted this video from the scene:

— Vincent McAviney (@VinnyMcAv) August 14, 2018
In another tweet, the reporter said police are treating it as 'a counter terrorism-related incident'.
However, according to the Metro, it is not confirmed whether the incident is terror-related, yet counter terror officers are at the scene.
LATEST: Lolice radio just squeaked "treating as a CT related incident" – CT= Counter Terrorism. Huge police presence here now.
— Vincent McAviney (@VinnyMcAv) August 14, 2018
Several streets around Parliament Square, Millbank and Victoria Tower Gardens have been cordoned off, according to Sky News.
Armed police were seen leading the driver of the vehicle away in handcuffs and a number of ambulances are at the scene, as well as 'dozens' of armed police.
An eyewitness said it was 'very very dramatic'.
He said:
I seen smoke coming out of a vehicle. It's all been high speed – you've got the specialists coming in… it's been dramatic. [sic]
Sky's home affairs correspondent, Mark White, said:
This has taken an ominous turn, with the confirmation that pedestrians have been injured.
Anyone who knows this area will know that there is a filter off that allows vehicles to go into Parliament itself… there is a big barrier that comes across the road, designed to protect the buildings.
Parliament is currently in summer recess, meaning there are fewer politicians working in London at the moment.
However, there are still many other people working in Parliament and nearby areas, including political journalists.
A bus driver who saw the accident told Sky News:
I stopped the bus because of the crash, and police told us to 'move back'.
I think it's not a regular traffic accident, because there's a barrier there. So I don't know why someone would drive into the barrier.
I saw someone was arrested, but I couldn't see him closely. He was taken away very quickly.
Although it's reported a number of pedestrians were hit in the incident, Metropolitan Police have said no one is thought to be in a life-threatening condition.
They tweeted:
At this stage, officers do not believe that anybody is in a life-threatening condition. Cordons are in place to assist the investigation. Westminster tube station is closed.

BBC reporter, Callum May, said:
Parliament Square is now ringed by blue police tape. There is a large group of armed officers in the square.
Paramedics are treating a small group of people sitting on the ground outside the Palace of Westminster.
They are wrapped in silver blankets. One eyewitness, who declined to give his name, said he saw a small hatchback drive into a group of cyclists and then into the barrier outside the Palace of Westminster. The man said that the driver's action appeared deliberate.
Reinforced steel and concrete barriers were installed around Parliament after the 2017 Westminster Bridge terror attack.
UPDATE (August 14, 2.30pm)
The driver of the vehicle has been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences.
The suspect, in his late 20s, is not believed to be known to MI5 or counter-terrorism police, and is apparently not co-operating with officers, reports BBC.
Scotland Yard's head of counter terrorism Neil Basu said:
Given that this appears to be a deliberate act, the method and this being an iconic site, we are treating it as a terrorist incident.
He also added that there was 'no intelligence of further danger'.
There was no one else in the car, and no weapons have been found.
One woman was taken to hospital for serious but non life-threatening injuries.

This morning, mud on my morning walk. And now, the sun shining bright enough to fill the room where my son is napping with a soft, margarine light.
Spring is near.
I am looking forward to walking—running—on sidewalks clear of snow. I am looking forward to just running, not having to navigate over snow banks, ice patches. But I will miss the frozen bay, its bright white glow. I will miss the empty tree branches that rest their hands against the shoreline. Black against white. There is a clarity there, a predictability that gives me solace.
Last winter was one of the most difficult in a while. So much snow. Days canceled. Kids sick with every imaginable illness. The apartment on the market, trying to keep it clean for showings—constantly clearing away the salt that collected in the entryway, the muddy shoeprints, the extra dust born of days on end spent at home.
Last winter left me panicked. I didn't like the unpredictability of it all, the loss of control.
This winter, I told myself to try to let go. Illness and snow would happen. There was nothing I could do about that. I just needed to surrender. And remember that it would pass. It had to. It would. There was nothing to be afraid of.
I let it gestate in me, that knowledge. And it was better. It was. Not always. I panicked some this winter. I felt the weight of the dark days. The illness came. The snow came. But I was less encumbered by it, less afraid.
For this, I am grateful. The simple fact of asking, of making that intention.
I think it was around the same time that I asked to write. To write every day. I signed up for Jena Schwartz's class just as winter began. And I did it. I did that. And in between, I wrote. Every day. Every damn day.
Now I'm back. Writing again with Jena and a new group of beautiful writers. What good fortune. Just in time for new life to spring up all around me.
If you can't tell, I highly recommend Jena Schwartz's online writing classes. They're for anyone who wants to write, experienced or not. Any kind of genre. All you have to do is show up. No judgment, just support. It's a beautiful thing.

HighlightsTromsø | Husky safari | Sami reindeer herder encounter | Northern Lights dinner cruise | Aurora hunts on land | Sommarøy | Whale watching (in season)
Description of Northern Lights holiday, Norway adventureTromsø is in the far north of Northern Norway and is a well-known base for Aurora hunting. The city has much to offer, but once you escape the lights and head into the countryside there is a huge potential for witnessing the Northern Lights. Your holiday includes three guided Aurora activities and the chance to see the lights from the comfort of your own bed, whilst Aurora glamping. During the day you will meet a traditional reindeer herder and take part in a 5km dog sled safari.
Tromsø sits approximately 350km above the Arctic Circle. It is known as the Capital of the Arctic and has much to offer visitors. Theres a fantastic culinary scene, some fascinating Arctic heritage and many local attractions to enjoy. Whilst the city is at the heart of the Aurora Zone, it is away from the city lights that the best displays are found and, as the city is surrounded by Arctic wilderness, you dont have to travel far to witness some amazing Aurora displays.
To maximise your Northern Lights viewing potential, we have included three guided Aurora hunts in this five-night break. You split your time between the city, an amazing Aurora Camp and the stunning island of Sommarøy and each offers its own Northern Lights appeal.
From Tromsø you will hunt by minibus, allowing you to cover greater distances and outrun any localised cloud cover to hopefully capture a display.
A real Aurora hunting highlight, however, is a night of luxury glamping in a wilderness camp on the island of Kvaløya, roughly 40 minutes from Tromsø. The camp is set in dramatic natural surroundings and the deluxe tents have panoramic windows so if you are lucky, you may witness the Northern Lights from the comfort of your bed! During your stay, you will also enjoy a 5km dogsled safari for yet another unforgettable experience.
You will then also spend two nights searching for the Northern Lights on the stunning island of Sommarøy which has very little light pollution.
This holiday also allows you to explore the Arctic waters surrounding Tromso, search for marine and birdlife whilst enjoying stunning views of the fjords during a cruise. The city is surrounded by mountains and the views back towards the land are spectacular. Whilst seals and seabirds are a prime attraction, for departures between December and the 25th of January, the voyage will focus its attention on whale watching. Orcas and humpbacks are annual visitors and so with a little luck, you may witness these majestic mammals.
The island of Sommaroy will then further introduce you to the dramatic scenery of Northern Norway. This fishing community retains its traditions and charm. We have left your time relatively free on the island so you explore at your own pace. If you would like to include additional activities, you can add a wildlife safari by minibus to your program and search for the likes of moose and white-tailed eagles. See the Personalise section of the holiday page for more details.
Scandic Ishavshotel (nights 1-2) - Situated right by the quayside, youll only have to walk approximately 50 metres from the Hurtigruten ferry to reach this hotel with fantastic views. The Ishavshotel has a lovely modern design with free Wi-Fi, a restaurant and bar area.
Wilderness Camp North Tour (night 3) - Wilderness Camp North Tour is an amazing glamping experience, located on the island of Kvaløya, only forty minutes from Tromsø. The tents are pretty luxurious with a large, cosy double or twin beds and they have panoramic windows which provide views of the landscape and of the sky. You can potentially witness the Northern Lights whilst tucked up in bed. The tents are spacious and there is a seating area from which to enjoy the views whilst having a hot drink or some fresh fruit from the minibar. The camp is set in a genuinely wild location, with dramatic mountain peaks surrounding a snow-covered valley. There is a central cabin where you will enjoy home-cooked meals, prepared using fresh ingredients. There are no showers at the camp, but there is a water pump which provides fresh water whenever you need it.
Sommarøy Arctic Hotel (nights 4-5) - Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and located within the picturesque coastal town of Sommarøy, your stay here allows you to witness the Norwegian coastline at its best. The Sommarøy Arctic Hotel is located within a traditional fishing community and this means that you will get to sample some of the fruits of the sea in the hotel menus.

Departure information
The leaders are not guides theyre not there to shepherd you around. Instead, theyll let you know which local restaurant serves great value food without running the risk of travellers tummy. Theyll allow you to avoid hour-long queues at train stations and attractions.
We like to think of small group travel as the Goldilocks option. It is independent travel without the fuss, worry and bunk beds and organised travel without the coaches. And its cheaper than a tailor made tour. Its sits somewhere in the middle and we think its just about right.
Have big, life-enriching experiences that would be impossible to organise without lots of time and insider knowledge.
Make the most of your holiday time by letting someone else do the hard work and boring logistics!
Peace of mind
Small group tours take care of the security aspects and provide a safety net should anything unexpected happen.
If you dont have three months to spend exploring, small groups trips let you cover more ground in less time. Your days are not spent queuing for tickets or finding hotels so you can squeeze more into your holiday.
Solo travellers whod like company
Likeminded travel companions plus peace of mind for those travelling alone. Single supplements are usually available providing privacy if you want it.
Less confident travellers
Stray from the tourist trail without worrying about getting lost, and meet local people without dealing with the language barrier.
Couples and friends have private rooms, and you can choose to eat alone or not. Single supplements give solo travellers their own room.
There wont be any free time
Free mornings or afternoons let you explore on your own, or just relax.
The accommodation will be basic
Trips are as high or low end as you like. Though off the beaten track destinations wont have luxury hotels, this is all part of the adventure.
I wont like the other travellers!
Tour operators try to create groups with a similar demographic age, families, activity levels... Chances are, youll even make new friends.

Carbon reduction
Your holiday will help support local people and conservation. We must also reduce CO2. Learn about the CO2 emissions of this holiday and how to reduce them.
As a company we have a deep sense of environmental responsibility as we work primarily in pristine wilderness destinations. We work closely with our local guides and suppliers to make sure that they share our ethos.
All of our guides operate a strict leave no trace policy during all activities and ensure that group sizes are managed to limit any effects on the local environment.
Trails which are used are well managed and maintained to limit any erosion and campfires use sustainably sourced wood and generally use maintained fire sites.
The accommodation suppliers we work with all have their own policies to manage waste and recycling. In Tromsø the hotel operates a Room for Responsibility programme which outlines their environmental policies.
They support non-profit organisations in providing food, shelter and clothing to those in need they also support and promote the growth and development of hospitality and tourism industries.
The hotel in Sommarøy measure and report all of their energy, water and waste usage so that they can record any changes. The hotel is also proudly labelled by Nordic Ecolabel, which was established in 1989 with the purpose of providing an environmental labelling scheme that would contribute to a sustainable consumption. To be granted an Ecolabel there are stringent environmental and climate criteria that must be fulfilled. The hotel is constantly aiming to improve and better their environmental policy. Organic food is provided in their restaurants where possible and recycling bins are available throughout.
Tromsø and its surrounding area have benefitted greatly over the past decade from an increase in tourism. This industry has replaced some of the more traditional industries which have seen steady decline. This growth has enabled the region to help slow the migration of young people to the larger economic regions further south.
This holiday ensures that both the modern culture of the region and the traditions of the indigenous Sámi people of Norway are explored. Guests will meet with a traditional reindeer herder and gain an understanding of their way of life here in the far north.
The hotels we use feature a range of local produce where possible and utilise the local suppliers in this remote region (wherever possible). This allows the tourism multiplier effect to spread the benefits of tourist expenditure more widely.
Our hotel in Tromsø also supports a variety of projects supporting underprivileged people as part of their corporate and social responsibility plan.
2 Reviews of Northern Lights holiday, Norway adventure
Reviewed on 02 Apr 2019 by Vicki Wiles
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Experiencing the arctic snow and ice and seeing the Northern Lights. It was fun being given really good cold weather clothing so that we could be out of doors happily for reasonably long periods. We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights on our first try, which was very exciting, and the guide took a good slow shutter speed photo of us with the lights behind us, which is very hard to reproduce on a mobile phone when you have cold bare hands.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
We had a week in southern Norway seeing Bergen and Oslo, using trains and airbnb before we flew north to Tromso for this 6 day package. This worked well as we got to see more of the country and its cities. Take layers of thermals rather than lots of big jumpers. Glamping in deep snow is great fun and suprisingly warm - be brave and go for a walk in the deep snow even if you arrive at dusk. Some of the all-in-one cold suits are on the generous side, so you
may be better off going for a smaller size than you usually use. There were no boots provided by the hotel on Sommarøy so do make sure you take good waterproof non slip boots yourself. Make sure you do the cable car ride in Tromso - you can walk across the bridge to get there.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The trip to the Sami base just outside Tromso was much better than we expected in that it was fun feeding the reindeer and hearing about Sami culture and history while sitting round a roaring log fire. We were surprised at how uncommercial the trip was...no artifacts for sale for example. It felt as if we were helping to keep that Sami family in business and that it was non exploitative. All the places we visited were dependant on visitors and felt sustainable.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
It was excellent. The only down side was that the Clarion Hotel Aurora in Tromso felt a bit down at heel and the afternoon tea with waffle maker made the ground floor smell like a funfair. Our room was big but gloomy, old fashioned and not very well designed. The only English TV channel had very poor reception and was unwatchable. Might Responsible Travel start using one of the other hotels in Tromsø? Overall we were very impressed that were expected wherever we went and that things flowed efficiently. The hotel on Sommarøy was excellent with very impressive food but no boots provided with the warm clothing. Thank you for a great trip.
Read the operator's response here:
Thank you for taking the time to complete your online review your feedback is very important to us and we are delighted that you enjoyed your overall experience in Norway, it seems like youve both had quite an adventure! Its wonderful to hear that you were lucky enough to witness the Northern Lights in all their glory during your trip, they truly are a spectacular phenomenon.
We will share your comments with our local partners who always appreciate hearing from guests and together we will work to address any areas for improvement. Ahead of next winter season, we will be reviewing our hotel options and will of course take your comments regarding The Clarion Aurora Hotel on board when doing so.
Once again, we would like to thank you for your feedback and we hope you are able to travel with us again in the future!
Very best regards,
The tour operator.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Seeing the Northern Lights
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Bring all of the items on the list that the tour company advises (balaclava, hand & foot warmers, etc)
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I think it benefited local people
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Loved every minute. The lodging was clean and comfortable. Food options were great - plenty of vegetarian and seafood options. All of the activities were fun
and the guides were top notch.
The only thing I didn't love was the Reindeer farm. I felt it was exploitative. While I enjoyed the dog sledding, the guide was rough with one of the dogs which was upsetting, hence why I gave it 4 stars vs 5

Just before Christmas, Google and the UN-FAO announced that they are to collaborate to make geospatial tracking and mapping products more accessible, providing high-technology assistance to countries tackling climate change and much greater capacity to experts developing forest and land-use policies. "For FAO, this is not just a partnership. This is a strategic alliance," said FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva.
This partnership will see Google Maps providing 1200 trusted tester credentials on Google Earth Engine to FAO staff and partners, while also providing training and receiving feedback on users' needs and experiences. Ironically, the software which FAO bring to the partnership (Open Foris) has been developed with the financial support of Finland, Germany and Norway.
The agreement shows the power of geo-information to transform lives; in this case by enabling FAO workers in the field to quickly get access to key information. It is a powerful reminder of the public good benefits which EO technology can bring.
It also shows once again how European investment and innovation is not fully exploited to the benefit of the European industry and this chimed with the recent report which I read from GP Bullhound looking at the relative performance of Internet companies in Europe and the US (see my previous blogpost). It is clear that we do not lack innovation in Europe but we do somewhere lack the ability to turn this into global business – as Google has done and of course the other "FANG's" (Facebook, Apple, Netflix, Google) which have dominated the US market over the last year, not to mention Uber and Airbnb.

To do lists don't need to be complicated—plenty of people use a pen and paper for the job without any problem. And yet a new to do list app seems to come out every day. Why? Because keeping track of your tasks is an intensely personal thing, and people will reject anything that doesn't feel right pretty much instantly. That makes it hard to find the right app.
To that end, we've been hard at work researching the best to do apps, trying to find the best ones for various use cases. We started by finding the best apps for every platform: Android, Windows, macOS, and iPhone/iPad. Research for these pieces was exhaustive: We tried the top-rated apps in every respective app store, spent a lot of time reading other roundups, and spent way too much time migrating our personal to do lists from one app to another.
And now we're offering you what we feel is the cream of the crop.
What Makes a Great To Do List App?
When it comes to do lists everyone has different criteria. We kept this in mind as we tested applications and noticed a few features that made apps stand out. The best to do list apps:
- Make it fast to add and organize tasks. Ideally a task is added and categorized in a couple taps or keystrokes.
- Offer multiple ways to organize your tasks. Tags, lists, projects, and due dates are all helpful, and the best apps offer at least a few categories like this.
- Remind you about self-imposed deadlines. Notifications, widgets, emails—the best applications make it obvious when something needs to be completed.
- Offer clean user interfaces. Well-designed to do apps fit into your workflow so you can get back to what you're supposed to be doing.
- Sync between every platform you use. Which platforms is going to depend on what you personally use, but we didn't consider anything that doesn't sync between desktop and mobile.
We tried to find the best applications that balance these things in various ways. None of these apps will be right for everyone, but hopefully one of them is right for you. Let's dive in.

Todoist (Windows, macOS, Android, iPhone, iPad, Web)
The best cross-platform to do app for balancing power and simplicity
Todoist isn't the most powerful to do list out there. It's also not the simplest. That's kind of the point: This app balances power with simplicity, and it does so while running on basically every platform that exists. That's a strong selling point—which is probably why Todoist is one of the most popular to do lists out there right now, with over 10 million users.
Adding tasks is quick on every platform in our tests, thanks in part to natural language processing (type "buy milk Monday" and the task "buy milk" will be added with the next Monday set as your due date). You can put new tasks in your Inbox and then move them to relevant projects; you can also set due dates. Paid users can create custom filters and labels, and there are also some basic collaboration features.
Todoist is flexible enough to adapt to most workflows but not so complicated as to overwhelm. Overall, this is a great first to do list app to try out, especially if you don't know where to start.
Todoist price: Free; some features, including labels and attachments, require a subscription that starts at $3 a month.
Automate Todoist and connect it to 1,000+ apps with Todoist integrations on Zapier
TickTick (Android, Windows, macOS, iPhone and iPad, Web)
Best cross-platform to do list with a built-in Pomodoro timer
TickTick is an up-and-coming to do list app that offers a wide array of features on just about every platform you can imagine. Adding tasks is quick thanks to natural language processing. There's also a universal keyboard shortcut offered on the desktop versions and pinned notifications and widgets on mobile, which makes it quick to add a task before getting back to what you're doing. Tasks can be organized using lists, tags, and due dates, and there's even the ability to add sub-tasks to any task.
TickTick offers all of this with apps that feel native—the macOS version is distinct from the Windows version, for example, in ways that make sense given the differences between those two systems. TickTick also offers a few features that are above and beyond what other apps offers. First of all there's a built-in Pomodoro timer, allowing you to start a 25-minute work session for any of your tasks. Second, there's integration with various third-party calendars, allowing you to see your tasks and your appointments in one place. It's a great collection of features and well worth considering, especially if you sync between various platforms.
TickTick price: TickTick offers a free version. Premium subscriptions, which offers features like white noise for the Pomodoro timer and custom swiping actions, start at $2.40 a month
Microsoft To-Do (Android, Windows, Web, iPhone and iPad)
Best to do list for Microsoft power users (and Wunderlist refugees)
In 2015, Microsoft bought Wunderlist and put that team to work on a new to do list apps. Microsoft To-Do is the result of that, and you can find Wunderlist's DNA throughout the project. The main interface is clean and friendly, adding tasks is quick, but there's a lot of flexibility below the surface.
But the real standout feature here is the deep integration with Microsoft's ecosystem. Outlook users can sync their tasks from that application over to Microsoft To-Do, meaning there is finally a way to sync Outlook tasks to mobile. Windows users can add tasks using Cortana or by typing in the Start menu (for example you can type "add rice to my shopping list" and rice will be added to a list called "shopping.")
There are a few Wunderlist features still missing in To-Do; collaboration isn't offered, for example, and there's no macOS version. Some longtime Wunderlist users might want to stick with that application, even though Microsoft plans to shut it down at some point. A free migration tool can pull tasks over when the time comes, so there's no rush to switch.
Microsoft To-Do price: Free
Automate Microsoft To-Do and connect it to 1,000+ apps with Microsoft To-Do integrations on Zapier
Things (macOS, iPhone, iPad)
Best blend of powerful features with elegant design for Apple users
To do list apps tend to fall into two categories: the complex and the minimalist. Things is somehow both.
That is about the highest praise I can give a to do list app. This is an application with no shortage of features and yet it always feels simple to use. Adding tasks is quick and so is organizing them, but there's seemingly no end of variation in ways to organize them. Areas can contain tasks or projects; projects can contain tasks or headers that can also contain tasks; even tasks can contain sub-tasks if you want. It sounds confusing but it isn't, which really speaks to how well Things is designed.
Other applications offer these features but Things does it in a way that never feels cluttered, meaning you can quickly get done with looking at your to do list and get back to whatever it is you're doing. Combine this blend of functionality and beauty with features like a system-wide tool for quickly adding tasks, integration with your calendar so you can see your appointments while planning your day, intuitive keyboard shortcuts, reminders with native notifications, and syncing to an iPhone and iPad app.
The only downside here is the complete lack of versions of Windows and Android, though this decision is probably part of what allows the team to focus on making such a clean product. If you're an Apple user, you owe it to yourself to try out Things.
Things price: The macOS version costs $49.99 but offers a 15-day free trial. The iPad version costs $19.99 and the iPhone version costs $9.99.
Automate Things and connect it to 1,000+ apps with Things integrations on Zapier
Omnifocus (macOS, iPhone, iPad)
Best option for Apple users with a very specific organizational system
Omnifocus is nothing if not flexible. This Apple-exclusive application is built around the Getting Things Done (GTD) philosophy trademarked by David Allen, but an array of features means it can be used for just about any organizational system you can imagine. There are three different kinds of projects you can set up, for example, depending on whether you need to do tasks in a specific order or not. There are six main views by default, allowing you to organize your tasks by things like due date, projects, and tags. You can even add more views, assuming you have the Pro version.
You get the idea. Omnifocus is a power users dream, with more features than anyone can hope to incorporate into a workflow, which is kind of the point: If there's a feature you want, Omnifocus has it, so you can organize your tasks basically any way you can imagine.
Syncing is offered only between Apple devices. There is a web version, currently in testing, but it's intended for occasional usage away from your Apple machines than anything else. Non-Apple users should look elsewhere.
OmniFocus price: OmniFocus for Mac starts at $39.99 after a 14-day trial. The Pro version, which allows you to customize the sidebar with your own views among other features, costs $79.00. The iPhone and iPad version starts at $39.99 and also offers a 14-day free trial.
Habitica (Android, iPhone and iPad, Web)
Best for making doing things fun
Games are fantastic at motivating mundane activity—how else can you explain all that time you've spent on mindless fetch quests? Habitica, formerly known as HabitRPG, tries to use principles from game design to motivate you to get things done, and it's remarkably effective. You can add tasks, daily activities, and habits to a list. You also have a character, who levels up when you get things done and takes damage when you put things off. You can also earn in-game currency for buying offline rewards, such as a snack, or in-game items like weapons even silly hats.
This is even better when you join a few friends and start a party. You can all fight bosses together, but be careful: Fail to finish some tasks on time and your friends will take damage. If that doesn't motivate you nothing will.
What's the downside? Habitica isn't a great to do list for managing long-term projects, so you might need something else for that. But if motivation is your problem, Habitica is well worth a spin.
Habitica Price: Free. A $5 per month subscription unlocks features like task histories and exclusive in-game items.
Google Tasks (Web, Android, iPhone and iPad)
Best for heavy Gmail and Google Calendar users
Gmail and Google Calendar have long offered an integrated tasks list but for a long time there was no way to access those tasks on mobile. Google Tasks changed that, offering an Android and iPhone/iPad version to compliment the web version.
The app itself is spartan. Adding tasks is quick, particularly if you spend a lot of time in Gmail anyway, but there's not a lot of organizational offerings: There are due dates, lists, and nothing else.
So this isn't the most robust task list, but the best to do app is one that's always handy. If you're the kind of person who always has Gmail open on your computer it's hard for any application to be more handy than Google Tasks. The mobile versions make those tasks accessible on the go.
Google Tasks price: Free
Automate Google Tasks and connect it to 1,000+ apps with Google Tasks integrations on Zapier
todo.txt (Plaintext file; apps for Android, Windows, Mac, iPhone and iPad)
Best plaintext system for taking control of your to do list
Most to do lists give you no control over your data. Your tasks live inside the app, not in a document you can edit, and syncing is handled by whichever company made the app. If you don't like this, todo.txt is a great alternative.
The idea: Your to do list is a literal text document which lives on your computer. Every line in the document is a task. A few standard formatting allows for sorting.
- Capital letters in brackets, ie
(A), set the priority of a task.
- Single words starting with a plus sign, ie
+ToDoArticle, assign tasks to a project.
- Single words starting with @, ie
@computer, assign a context to a project.
- Adding a lowercase x to the beginning of a task means that it is complete.
There are a few other additions, but you get the basic idea: It's a format for organizing your tasks in a text document. There's an official command prompt app for adding and completing tasks, but there are also graphical interfaces for every most platforms: todotxt.net for Windows, TodoTxtMac for macOS (seen above), SwiftoDo for iPhone, and Simpletask for Android are all great options.
It's not for beginners, but it's extremely flexible once you you get a handle on things. If sticking to a system is hard for you I highly recommend giving this system a try.
todo.txt price: Free, though some dedicated apps have a small price attached for extra features.
Nozbe (Web, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad)
Best cross-platform GTD app offering project templates
Wish you could find a full-featured GTD system that syncs outside the Apple ecosystem? Nozbe fits the bill. This web application offers native versions for various platforms and also offers a wide array of organizational features. Tasks can be sorted into projects, and you can even create project templates if your work tends to have a certain amount of repetition. Nozbe also offers collaboration features, meaning you can use it to organize tasks as a team.
The app itself can be a little complicated to get started with, owing to the wide array of features. Take some time to learn everything, however, and you'll find it's all less complicated than you're imagining.
Nozbe price: Subscriptions start at $8 a month, and there's 30 day free trial.
Automate Nozbe and connect it to 1,000+ apps with Nozbe integrations on Zapier
Remember the Milk (Android, iPhone and iPad, Web)
The best choice for keyboard shortcut lovers
Did you forget about Remember The Milk? It's been a long time since this application got many headlines, but it's been quietly competent all of these years. And it's still one of the best options for users who don't like taking their fingers away from the keyboard. The desktop version of this app makes it easy to add a bunch of tasks in quick succession.
But Remember The Milk also provides very straightforward mobile versions, as well as syncing with Outlook for Pro users, meaning this a great way to quickly add tasks and have them show up everywhere. Give this app a chance if you haven't thought about it for a while; it might surprise you.
Remember The Milk Price: Free, but some features including subtasks, reminders, and widgets require a $39.99 per year Pro subscription.
Automate Remember The Milk and connect it to 1,000+ apps with Remember the Milk integrations on Zapier
Any.do (Android, iPhone and iPad, Web)
Best for people who forget to use to do apps
Any.do offers a really slick mobile app that makes it quick to add tasks, organize them into lists, and add due dates. But where this application really shines is with its daily "Plan my Day" feature, which forces you to schedule when you'll accomplish your various tasks so that you remember to actually do things. Any.do also integrates nicely with Google and Outlook calendars, allowing you to see your appointments and your tasks in one place. This is exactly what you need of you're the kind of person who adds things to a list and forgets about them.
The web version isn't quite as slick as the mobile version, because it can feel cluttered at time and doesn't offer much in the way of keyboard shortcuts. Still, Any.do's mobile version along makes a compelling reason to give it a shot.
Any.do price: Free. The premium version, which offers color coding, location-based reminders, and recurring tasks, costs $2.99 per month.
Other Options
We tried to focus on dedicated to do applications in the list above, but plenty of other software can fulfill the same feature. Here are a few ideas if none of the above options quite fit what you're looking for:
- Project Management apps like Trello and Asana can be very useful as to do lists, so look into those if none of these systems work for you.
- Note-taking applications like Evernote, OneNote, and Google Keep can also work quite well.
- Sticky note applications can also work in a pinch. So can a piece of paper. Don't overthink things!
- Wunderlist used to be a no-brainer for lists like this, and is still quite nice. The problem, as stated above: Microsoft bought Wunderlist and is shutting it down at an undetermined point in the future. The intended replacement, Microsoft To-Do, is outlined above.
- Google Sheets can be your to do list, as my colleague Deb outlined.
Finding the right task management system is hard because it's so personal. To that end, I'm sure there will be other apps to check out in the comments below, so please keep reading there if you want even more suggestions.
This post was originally published in April 2018 by Andrew Kunesh and updated in April 2019 to refine the list of options.

America By Siegrid Raible I have been thinking lately about my country, America, and what it means to be an American. I was born in Brooklyn, New York, sixty-six years ago.

Dual same-sex wedding an in-flight first
Two homosexual couples have entered the record books after tying the knot on board an aircraft, news which may be of interest to people looking to buy gay condoms.
Aleksandar Mijatovic and Shantu Bhattacherjee from Germany said I do alongside lesbians Ewa Tomaszewicz and Gosia Rawinska from Poland.
The newlyweds were chosen to become the first people to have a dual same-sex ceremony while soaring thousands of feet above the ground.
They boarded the SAS Scandinavian Airlines Airbus A340 on December 6th and exchanged vows during the flight to New York.
According to the Pink Paper, the chief commercial officer of the carrier Robin Kamark said: "SAS is the national airline of three of the world's most liberal and progressive countries in the world … so we feel this is a natural celebration of love."
Back in May 2009, easyJet announced it was looking to introduce in-flight marriages officiated by pilots.

49ers' stats and facts against Bills
Number of the day
Season-low third-down conversions for the 49ers (in 13 attempts). San Francisco was 0-for-2 on fourth-down tries, so even though it gained 300 yards and averaged 5 yards per play, its time of possession was 24:49 — the fourth time during the five-game losing streak that the 49ers have held the ball for less than 25 minutes. Buffalo converted 8 of 13 third downs.
Next game
The streak of 100-yard games by opposing running backs could continue as the 49ers host Tampa Bay and Doug Martin, left, on Sunday. The NFL's second-leading rusher last year, Martin has missed three games with a hamstring injury, but is expected to return as the Bucs come off their bye.
The Big 3
Noteworthy stats from Sunday's game:
Rushing yards gained by the Bills, who averaged 7.1 per carry and had three players with at least 60
Receiving yards for 49ers WR Torrey Smith, who had only 106 combined in his first five games
Games this season in which the 49ers have scored first. Buffalo trailed 10-7, then outscored S.F. 38-6

Industry-leading adult toy manufacturer launches new wireless vibrating egg just in time for the Valentine's Day couples rush.
One of the bread-and-butter products of the pleasure product industry, remote controlled wireless vibrating eggs are accessible, easy to use and easy to get creative with making them the ideal couples' sex toy. Great for both internal and external stimulation, vibrating eggs can be used a variety of ways in the bedroom and due to their popularity, you can find one under most brand names.
Rapid technological innovation, however, has changed the functions and features of this staple toy in recent years, so Loving Joy decided it's time to release a re-vamped version of their classic Loving Joy Remote Control Wireless Egg that was launched all the way back in 2011.
Sebastian Gonzalez, Loving Joy CEO has said:
"Considering that the old Loving Joy vibrating egg has been around for 7 years now, it's still one of our bestsellers – you just can't beat a classic. But we also had to recognize that consumers these days might look for something more sustainable, so we sought to offer an environmentally friendly version too, one, that is USB-rechargeable.
The new Loving Joy wireless egg has an incredible 10 functions that can be controlled from up to 20 feet away with a sleek and easy to use remote controller. This high quality sex toy is coated in smooth silicone making it entirely body-safe and even more comfortable and pleasurable to use.
The battery operated Loving Joy Vibrating Egg will always have a place in our catalog, but we found that actually, there's place there for a new, great Loving Joy addition too."
The new Loving Joy Remote Controlled Love Egg with 10 Functions is available to purchase from the official Loving Joy Adult Toy Store today. If you would like to become a stockist of this incredible remote controlled egg then please feel free to contact us via email and one of our team members will get back to you as soon as possible.

* Tender Notice for the Laboratory Equipment-2018 dated 12.09.2018
Raidighi College, situated by the largest mangrove of the world, strives continually towards enlightening the inhabitants of this remote, rural landscape – with the dream of spreading higher education among the needy enthusiasts belonging to the Schedule caste and tribes, mostly. A view into their daily choirs would place the matter in a more appropriate perspective. Raidighi is surrounded by a number of rivers, river-inlets and dense vegetation of the Sunderbans that nurture a large number of floras and faunas, the most beautiful and the fiercest of them being the Royal Bengal tiger, obviously. Hence, inhabiting for almost hundred years now, the people of this land live perpetually on a trapeze, with life and death on either side. 90% of the total population live below the poverty line, and they often have to put their lives at stake to secure a living – be it by fishing, or by collecting honey or by cultivating crops in these hostile, muddy lands. Despite being only 100km. away from the Eastern metropolis Kolkata, due to a weak conveyance, it has not been easy for Raidighi to get a sustained taste of the urban lifestyle and culture. Yet, it must be acknowledged that Raidighi throbs with its own unique dialect, philosophy and folk idiom.

CROWN POINT | The blessings that many people share should also lead them to look to the needs of others, the Rev. David Hirtle says.
Hirtle, the pastor of Crown Point First Congregational Church, said with that in mind, they're starting to plan for this year's free Community Thanksgiving Dinner in Crown Point.
"Crown Point churches and businesses and community friends are again joining together to ensure that those Crown Point residents who are alone or those who might not have the means to celebrate Thanksgiving will have a traditional meal," he said. "The meal is designed to rekindle friendship and promote fellowship in our community."
This year the meal, consisting of all the traditional fixings, will be served at the United Methodist Church's Fellowship Hall on Creek Road in Crown Point on Wednesday, Nov. 22 from 4:30-7 p.m.
Hirtle said the meal is a collaborative between and the faith communities of Sacred Heart/St. Patrick's, Crown Point United Methodist and First Congregational churches.
He said they are grateful to Debro's On the Way Café, Crown Point Telephone Company, Crown Point Citgo, Hap's Market, Village Auto, Crown Point Teachers Association, the Post Office Team, Champlain National Bank, Gunnison's Orchard, Torri's Hair Dresser, the Knapp Senior Club, Avery Energy, Crown Point Central School, Hammond Library, Lake Champlain Physical Therapy, Crown Point Health Center, and many individual citizens in the Crown Point area.
"Many are joining us to make this a true community time of fellowship and thanksgiving," Hirtle said. "Where possible, the meal will be served with locally grown and prepared items. We are gratefully looking for staff to help us ensure the success of our community meal.
If you are able to help carve turkey, mash potatoes, cut pies, set up, serve and help clean up, please contact us."
Call Hirtle at 518 597-3398 or Yvonne DuShane at 518 597-3212 to volunteer.
"We are limited in the delivery of meals this year," Hirtle said. "If you are a Crown Point resident and unable to physically join us for dinner or have no one to pick up your meal and would like a meal, we are asking that you call, and we will send someone to deliver your meal."
Hirtle said it's a total community effort to ensure fellowship and a traditional hot meal for those who might not have one otherwise in Crown Point.
There will be no charge for the Crown Point community meal.

Peace full place in Normandie
Championship course laid out in the woods of the historical park of Champ de Bataille.
Champ de Bataille is a woodland course being part of the castle park and following natural valleys and water hazards. For 60 hectares, the course follows century old trees, bracken filled undergrowth and huge rhododendron bushes.
The course was created in 1990 by the American architect Robin Nelson and the French landscape gardener Thierry Huau who has maintained the natural beauty of the site. Please note that the course has been modified and the two new holes (12 and 13) were designed by the French architect Jean Manuel Rossi.
