Christmas may be close, but not everyone wants to frolic around in Christmas jumpers, photocopy their butt cheeks and dress up like a sexy Santa (we're looking at you Kevin). Even if they do, we all need a little light, or even dark, relief now and then from the baubles, tinsel and festive cheer. If you're planning a Christmas night out or looking ahead to the New Year then don't follow the crowd, let us help you do something different. We've sifted through the glittery shit, beyond the festive cliches to seek out alternative and quirky nights out in London that could spice up your Christmas.
1. Orange is the New Black: Prison Cocktail Bar in London
If you're bored of the standard drinking experience then Alcotraz, a high security prison that's hiding an alcoholic secret, might get your juices flowing – literally. This immersive theatrical cocktail bar inspired by the infamous Alcotraz challenges you to smuggle in your favourite tipple. Donning an orange jumpsuit you need to make your way past the guards and find the warden, who has a selection of homemade syrups, juices and bitters from his previous life as a barman. He'll mix you up some cocktails with your favourite tipple.
Open Thursday to Saturday tickets for this experience are £30, which includes your prison pack for the duration of the sentence, minimum 4 cocktails from your smuggled liquor of choice + 1 hour 45 minutes inside the prison.
2. Immerse yourself in a load of balls at Ballie Ballerson
Everyday we are surrounded by people talking a load of ball, so why not spend your evening frolicking in them? We know what you're thinking, the last thing you need is another night out clubbing with a bunch of dicks, but we promise you're gonna love the balls that fly at you at Ballie Ballerson, the ultimate adult playground. There's ball waterfalls, ball pits, UV twisted balls – so many balls.
Moving on from the ball innuendos, this new Shoredtich venues promises to provide visitors with nostalgic hedonism and unparalleled instagram opportunities. Covered with a 70 metre glowing UV mural twisting around three ball pits, there's also an extra deep VIP pit for those serious about their balls or a private pit on the street. If this place doesn't have you 'balling' with laughter then we don't know what will. Got time for one more innuendo? Course we have. Don't do the same old pub crawl next weekend, grow a pair and head on over to Ballie Ballerson where balls flying at you is not only a given, it's celebrated.
3. Victorian immersion at The Hope and Piano Works in Farringdon
Farringdon just got interesting. Especially if you love getting your Victorian glad rags on or like to dabble in some Steampunk cosplay. You can start your night at our newest London venue The Hope, where you can enjoy some bevys at their gin bar before you're greeted by our escape room host, Gabriel. He'll lead you to Lady Chastity's boudoir, which is dripping in Victorian decadence and laden with cobwebs that are hiding unexpected surprises along the way.
Solve the clues to win the wine so you can enjoy a bottle post game before you make your way to Piano Works, which is less than 10 minutes walk down the road. A music venue in a listed Victorian basement where musicians play songs by request. Beyond the thrill of a human jukebox, here you can enjoy a wonderfully bizarre cocktail menu, a hearty steak or just sing and dance into the night. Now that's a quirky night out with a Victorian twist.
4. Dead dolls and wonky workshops in Islington
If weird and wonderful is your vibe and you don't have an innate fear of dolls, then Islington has two alternative gems for you. One of it's kind, our most recent game creation Poppa Plock's Wonky Workshop is hidden in the depths of The Depot in Islington. Book a game late afternoon or early evening to kick off your night where you'll be greeted by Wynne, the wind up doll who longs for new friends. The room is packed with warped dolls and rigged retro toys to keep you on your toes. After a good clue-solving session with us you can continue the theme by heading over to The Dead Dolls House to enjoy a night of debauchery and decadence.
From a Dalston pop-up and a brief stint at Hoxton Square, The Dead Dolls House now has a permanent home at what was once Islington's House of Wolf. Here you will find three whimsical floors of fun working your way up you can explore the Roald Dahl inspired ground floor parlour, 2nd floor library and dining room or third floor ballroom. Boasting 'signature illustrations and a lush neutral palate with flecks of colour' here you can enjoy some noms on their unique menu, including their Dead Dolls burger with fermented horseradish ailoi, truffled pecorino and onion marmalade or indulge in their tasty cool craft and eclectic cocktail menu.
5. Don't just drink – dance, create and make while you're at it
Wouldn't it be great if there was a bar that didn't just serve drinks, but also helped you do something? Well, there is. By day Drink, Shop & Do is a mild-mannered King's Cross cafe and spritz bar, by night it transforms into a merry den of drinking and dancing, where guests can reconnect with their inner big kid.
They have a calendar packed with playful activities including a Destiny's Child or Britney dance class, lampshade making workshop or, if you're feeling festive, Christmas decoration making. The building is an old Victorian bathhouse, so the setting is decadent and quirky, just the right atmosphere to get your creative juices and your favourite drinks flowing. It's free to get in before 10pm and party 'til 2am and if you are hanging the next day you can return for their infamous brunch with unlimited bagels, 'hair of the dog' booze and board games all day.
6. Quench your saucy thirst at Hester's HideOut
Is it just us or is Farringdon hiding away some real quirky night out gems lately? Not only do you have our epic escape room at The Hope and Piano Works (the human jukebox), you can also find Hester's Hideout, a subterranean and sexy retreat hidden below the notorious Exmouth Market. A decadent den rich in history where you can sip on cocktails as you immerse yourself in the amazing talents of the surrounding burlesque dancers, musicians and performers who will entertain you into the early hours.
A bit of history for you. The venue was previously-named Clerkenwell Tavern and the guv'nor let his basement become the hot post for market workers who liked a wager or shady deal to conceal their trades from the prying eyes of drinkers upstairs or bobbies on the beat. Fast forward to today and the space is now hailed as an 'immersive cabaret and cocktail destination', but the history hasn't been left behind. Mixologists prepare vintage recipes left by the traders, alongside modern, molecular tipples that arrive smoking and bubbling to the table.
Ready to get your quirk on?
There are so many quirky nights out in London to explore, we hope this has helped you dip your toe in the waters so you can be less 'basic' and more experimental for your Christmas night out or New Year plans. If you're planning on taking your other half out then you might also enjoy having a gander at our blog with some great creative date night ideas or you can find out more about our escape games here.
What are you still doing staring at the screen? Get your mates together and go get your quirk on at one of these weirdly wonderful hotspots.

Cooperation between Investigators and Prosecutors in Pre-Trial Investigation: Investigators' Viewpoint
Nowadays, it would be difficult to imagine a person investigating a case individually, without coordination of actions with other subjects, especially when complex, multi-episodic cases are investigated. The efficiency of solved crimes, investigation and prevention partly depends on cooperation between prosecutors and investigators. The work of the subjects in crime investigation is multiple; therefore, it is necessary to coordinate reciprocal understanding between them. The Code of Criminal Procedure raises doubts and discussions about cooperation between prosecutors and investigators. In juridical literature, much information on cooperation among pre-trial officers exists. However, the practical question of cooperation between an investigator and a prosecutor has not yet received sufficient attention. Therefore, the main purpose of this article is to examine the pre-trial investigators' attitude to cooperation between prosecutors and investigators, to single out the main forms of cooperation, and to make suggestions for more effective cooperation. The article deals with an empirical research done by the author in the form of a questionnaire, in which pre-trial investigators from national police institutions were questioned about the problems of cooperation between prosecutors and investigators.

Students investigate the energy of a projectile. They use a simulation of a projectile fired from a cannon to study the law of conservation of energy.
Students first explore the simulation, changing the blast energy, launch angle, and projectile mass to allow the projectile to "land" in the target box.
Next, students drag the projectile along its path, noting how potential and kinetic energy change. They identify the points of minimum and maximum kinetic and potential energy.
Students use data to confirm that the total mechanical energy of the system remains constant. They also examine a graph of kinetic energy vs. time, and compare it to their predictions.
Finally, students create a graph of potential energy vs. time, and compare it to their predictions.

Patient centered outcomes pertain to a patient's beliefs, opinions and needs in conjunction with a clinician's medical expertise and assessment. The rise of patient-centered outcome (PCO) measurement parallels increased interest in patient-centered care. PCO measures offer the opportunity for more meaningful measurement of health outcomes informative enough to guide treatment decisions. However, it has been suggested that, for practical and scientific reasons, existing PCO measures are currently not capable of delivering the kind of quality assured measurement required for high-stakes decision making. Potential solutions include: addressing the lack of units in PCO measurement through recourse to mathematical models devised to define meaningful, invariant, and additive units of measurement with known uncertainties; establishing coordinated international networks of key stakeholders guided by five principles (i.e., collaboration, alignment, integration, innovation and communication); better use of technology leveraging measurement through item banks linking PCO reports via common items, common patients, or specification equations based in strong explanatory theory. And finally ensuring PCO measurement always is associated with: (1) a clear definition of the measurand in regards to the intended clinical use; (2) a clear definition of the clinically allowable error of measurement; (3) international cooperation and consensus to navigate the complexities of the development of metrologically sound reference measurement systems; and (4) continued clinical validation of newly calibrated measures. In this article, we illustrate the principles to improve PCO measures with examples from breast cancer, vision-related patient-reported outcome measures, and dementia clinician-reported and performance outcome measures.
Objective: To evaluate the Patient Participation in Rehabilitation Questionnaire (PPRQ) according to Rasch measurement theory. Method: Five hundred twenty-two post-discharge patients from a neurological rehabilitation unit were included. The PPRQ questionnaire comprises 20 items rated by a cohort of 522 patients about their experiences of participating in rehabilitation. The measurement properties of the PPRQ were evaluated by Rasch analysis of the responses. Results: The Rasch analysis of 20 items showed some major misfits, particularly three items addressing the involvement of family members. After removing those items, the model fit improved and no significant DIF remained. Despite improvements, person values (−2.96 to 4.86 logits) were not fully matched by the item values (−0.61 to 0.77 logits). Neither did the t test for unidimensionality meet the criterion of 5%, and local dependency was present. The unidimensionality and local dependency could, however, be accommodated for by four testlets. Conclusion: The PPRQ-17 showed that a ruler with a reasonable and clinical hierarchy can be constructed, although the expectations of dimensionality and local dependency need to be evaluated further. Despite room for further development, PPRQ-17 nevertheless shows improved measurement precision in terms of patient leniency compared with previous evaluations with classical test theory. In turn, this can play a crucial role when comparing different rehabilitation programs and planning tailored care development activities.
Objective: To analyze definitions and related requirements, processes, and operationalization of person-centered goal-setting in the physiotherapy research literature; to discuss those findings in relation to underlying principles of person-centeredness; and to provide an initial framework for how person-centered goal-setting could be conceptualized and operationalized in physiotherapy. Methods: A literature search was conducted in the databases: CINAHL, PubMed, PEDro, PsycINFO, REHABdata and Scopus. A content analysis was performed on how person-centered goal-setting was described. Results: A total of 21 articles were included in the content analysis. Five categories were identified: 1) Understanding goals that are meaningful to the patients; 2) Setting goals in collaboration; 3) Facing challenges with person-centered goal-setting; 4) Developing skills by experiences and education; and 5) Changing interaction and reflective practice. These categories were abstracted into two higher-ordered interlaced themes: 1) To seek mutual understanding of what is meaningful to the patient; and 2) To refine physiotherapy interaction skills, which we suggest would be useful for further conceptualization. Conclusion: In this analysis, we interpreted person-centered goal-setting in physiotherapy as a process of interaction toward a mutual understanding of what is meaningful to the patient. Future research may explore how to integrate mindful listening, embodied interaction and continuous ethical reflection with different assessments and treatment methods.
Development of novel therapies for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is constrained by the lack of available methods for preclinical diagnosis, despite extensive research on biomarker identification. The EMPIR NeuroMET project unites National Measurement Laboratories, clinicians and academics, to overcome limitations in measurement methods and provide a better understanding of how to improve, combine and analyse measurements in AD diagnosis and treatment. Comparability through SI (System of International Units) traceability and uncertainty analysis is an, as yet, unmet requirement for regulatory approval of biomarkers, patient centred outcome measures, clinical thresholds and new therapeutic drugs. We will report on:
Improved reference methods to underpin the production of calibrators and improve measurement comparability of established biomarkers has the potential to further the understanding of AD and boost research for disease modifying therapies.
Did you ever wonder how to account for biases such as ceiling eects in your (cognitive) data?
Metrological quality assurance of human-based responses is in its infancy and analyzing categorial data and other human responses is challenging. However, there is a need to tackle those challenges to ensure that decisions about health care are made correctly. Quality assured comparability, interoperability and decision-making can successfully be done by applying sound metrological approaches to enable traceability as well as stressing declaration of measurement uncertainties. In the seminar, we present metrological approaches to ensure quality assurance of categorical data,such as cognitive assessments and other human-reported responses. This is followed by a hands-onworkshop where you are welcome to bring your own or freely available data for analyses.
Alongside a lack clinically validated, minimally invasive diagnostic tools for early diagnosis and/or monitoring of disease progression in Alzheimer's Disease (AD), there are no sound metrological assessment protocols and measurements for cognition, nor measurement comparability through SI (System of International Units), traceability and uncertainty for regulatory approval of biomarkers. As part of the on-going EMPIR HLT04 NeuroMET project in which several national metrology institutes work together with clinicians and academics to overcome specific measurement issues to improve diagnosis and disease progression, we describe here the justification for and development of the 'NeuroMET Memory Metric' (version 0.1).
Re-examination of traditional widely used 'legacy' cognitive assessment protocols using invariant measurement theory aims at more accurately capturing the patient's cognitive ability and improving the analysis of correlations with various AD biomarkers. Two principal elements provide sound metrological underpinnings: (i) a correct formulation of a measurement model; and (ii) proper handling of the ordinal cognitive data. In turn, this enables formulation of novel construct specification equations for patient cognitive ability as a function of diverse biomarkers (e.g., in plasma, CSF and saliva together with MRI/MRS data) as well as for cognitive task difficult as a function of test design.
To further improve the accuracy in patient's cognitive ability work is now in progress to develop a NeuroMET Memory Metric based on legacy cognitive assessments (e.g., MMSE, Corsi Block Test, Digital Span Test). This work can be ascribed a level-5 construct theory. This means the realization of more fit-for-purpose, better targeted and better administered cognitive measurement systems. It will also enable traceable calibration of both additional cognitive tasks as well as the effects of intervention (or disease progression) on the cognitive ability of each individual patient.
Fundamental reappraisal of metrology, beyond superficial analogies with traditional measurement instruments, is needed if ordinal properties – such as 'counted fractions' (bounded by zero and one), performance metrics for ability tests, customer satisfaction, etc - are to be included in an extended quantity calculus for a new SI. Regarding a human being (or other 'probe') as a Measurement Instrument with Rasch measurement theory (i.e., postulating a Generalised Linear Model link function z = θ – δ, of a 'probe' attribute θ and a 'target' attribute δ) not only handles ordinal properties of the measurement system response, Psuccess, but also attribute separability in restitution; essential to underpinning measurement traceability and uncertainty. Examples from person-centred care (e.g., of Alzheimer 's disease patients) will demonstrate causal Rasch models relating task difficulty and patient ability to explanatory variables such as test sequence entropy and brain atrophy, thereby enabling novel certified reference materials for traceability.
In establishing metrological quality assurance in healthcare, one major hurdle is the correct treatment ofordinal data typical of questionnaires, performance tests and other categorical data collected widely in care.Despite being known well over a century, there are still many examples of measurements in healthcare – forexample, (i) on-line tables of percentage performance indicators (e.g. fraction of patients seeing a doctorwithin seven days) and (ii) correlation plots for Alzheimer sufferers of cognitive scores against biomarkerconcentration – where the 'counted fraction' distortion of scales is not compensated for. The Rasch form ofgeneralised linear model not only handles counted fraction ordinality but also enables separation of objectand instrument attributes (such as task difficulty and patient ability) essential for metrological restitutionin measurement systems in healthcare. A perspective is given of a new kind of certified reference materialemploying causal Rasch models in terms of construct specification equations for metrological item bankingin the social sciences. This is part of the response to a recent call for: 'a new international body to bringtogether metrology, psychometrics, philosophy, and clinical management to support the global comparabilityand equivalence of measurement results in patient centred outcome measurement to improve healthcare'.
Background: Neurodegeneration is an incurable, debilitating process which presents a growing medical and economic challenge due to our aging population. Alzheimer's disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. Objectives: Currently, there are no minimally invasive diagnostic tools which allow for early diagnosis or monitoring of the progression of disease in patients. Methods: The European EMPIR NeuroMet 15HLT04 project (2016 – 9) is helping to address these objectives by exploring innovative techniques for early diagnosis and monitoring, based on non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging approaches, and developing improved clinical assessment protocols focused on monitoring declining cognitive functions. Results: As a case study, the person-centred measurement of cognitive ability is examined, where better analysis of correlations with brain atrophy is enabled thanks to the Rasch metrological approach. A new model of the metrology of ordinal data, including performance metrics and restitution is presented. Conclusions: An example is given of how the Rasch invariant measure theory can improve contemporary studies of possible correlations between neurodegeneration in patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease – specifically failing cognitive ability – and brain atrophy. It is the first time to our knowledge that the known distortions - revealed by the Rasch psychometric model - of measurement scales in common clinical instruments for cognitive assessment have been corrected for in correlation studies. Possibilities of higher resolution and more reliable clinical decisions open up.

As this season of housecleaning in the software draws to a close, we took the opportunity to release a few more fixes and usability improvements. They're coming this next Wednesday, April 27.
At Church Community Builder, our journey will always be about trying to provide insight that helps you, as church leaders, be more effective. We are so much more than a software company! God has blessed us with a lot of amazing people who have experience in church leadership and a tremendous heart for the local church (and church leaders like you!). This blog is inviting you into the conversations we have on a daily basis. We want to hear your voice as you lead from the frontlines of Kingdom work!
This month's release is going to introduce new features and redesigns that will provide a better and more secure online giving experience, and ease your Sunday morning stress with improved volunteer management tools. This upcoming Thursday, September 8, we'll be rolling out these exciting new changes — and we think you're going to love them.
As school starts and you gear up for your fall programs, we've been concentrating on making our software a better experience for you, and we are happy to deliver some amazing fixes and improvements to existing features. We are especially excited for the release of our revamped Metrics dashboard on August 25. This updated toolset consolidates your critical data into easy-to-understand graphics that are always available and up-to-date to help you make better decisions. If your church has the Deluxe version of our software, your new Metrics tools will automatically give you even more access to and control over the kind of data you need to see. Please note this new dashboard will be visible to all Master Administrators and Executive Pastors as designated in your church's software.
Here at Church Community Builder, we believe that better data enables better decisions. Where gut instinct, anecdotes, and best guesses can mislead, objective data cuts through the haze and provides solid information to consider. Whether the decisions you're making are about facilities, finances, discipleship growth, or more, the stakes are high for you as a church leader — sometimes even eternal. The data you need has to be easy to find, customize, and compare.
Starting on August 25, our revamped Metrics dashboard will give you that data, helping you learn more about your church than ever before. If your church has the Deluxe version of our church management software, your new Metrics tools will automatically give you even more access to and control over the kind of data you need to see.

You then will not have to fret about buying jewelry to match each outfit that you just just purchase. Assume selection and you'll have multiple selection for an outfit.

Escrow – Now You Know
I have been tackling a bit of work concerning source code escrow. Source code escrow is the deposit of source code of software with a third party escrow agent. This source code can be released to a licensed user of the software – but only if the business or party licensing the software files for bankruptcy (or similar), or otherwise fails to maintain and update the software as it promised in the software licence agreement.
Unlike most compromises, escrow doesn't leave both parties grumpy. The software provider can keep its source code secret, while the licensee can be safe in the knowledge that if anything goes wrong then software which is valuable (or even central) to its business can continue to be maintained and work properly.
Source code escrow originated around 1975 and today the NCC Group is the world's largest software escrow provider. In order to enliven this post I called them for some interesting statistics about how many source code escrows they process annually. Unfortunately they declined to provide any details.
So let's discuss instead the provenance of "escrow". The word is apparently derived from the French word escroue meaning "scoll" or "roll of writing". In France in the middle-ages an owner of property executed a kind of deed conveying land to another party on the fulfilment of certain conditions. This deed, the escroue, was given to a third person with instructions that it would take effect as a deed on the performance of an act or event – such as payment of a designated sum of money, or perhaps delivery of a delicious pain au chocolat. This concept was brought to England and in time the term escroue was Anglicised – to escrow.
So now you know. And If you ever win a pub quiz off the back of this you owe me a pint.

Buying personal care products that have not been tested on animals is easier than ever before!
Especially in California where, due to the efforts of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Social Compassion in Legislation, Senator Cathleen Galgiani, and many other groups and individuals, all cosmetic products sold in California will soon be cruelty-free. Senate Bill 1249, signed in September by California Governor Jerry Brown, will make it unlawful for cosmetic manufacturers to sell any cosmetic in California if the final product or any component of the product was tested on animals after January 1, 2020, with some exceptions for regulatory requirements.
During the year that we worked on SB 1249, we spent many days at the California State Capitol, testifying in support of the bill, attending rallies, and speaking with the press. We needed to look and feel our best and, using personal care products tested via human-relevant methods, we were able to!
While we expect the law to have a nationwide impact, it doesn't take effect until 2020. However, huge personal care brands CoverGirl and Dove have both recently announced their new cruelty-free status. The combination of consumer demand for cruelty-free products and impactful laws like SB 1249 are sure to make even more brands change their product testing ways soon. Until then, for those who want to support products that were developed using nonanimal testing methods, some homework is still required. To make things easier, we made a list of some of our favorite products that are not tested on animals (nor do they contain animal ingredients).
The Essentials
Facial Cleanser
Youth to the People is a stellar clean beauty brand. Their vegan Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser has garnered hundreds of positive reviews, with many noting that it works well for all skin types.
For a less expensive option, Acure makes a great range of facial cleansers, including this Brightening Cleansing Gel, which is sulfate-free and paraben-free.
Bar Soap
Dr. Bronner's Bar Soap is a great option for those with sensitive skin who are looking for a bar soap. It's also certified fair trade!
Face Wash
LUSH's Cup O'Coffee face mask is a delicious treat that both cleanses skin and exfoliates by buffing away dry skin with coffee grounds.
Body Wash
Nourish Organic is a cruelty-free brand that can be found in most drugstores, as well as online. Their Nourish Organic Moisturizing Cream Body Wash is excellent for sensitive skin and even won an Allure Beauty Award in 2014.
Hempz Original Herbal Body Moisturizer is a soothing vegan body lotion that has a nice fresh scent.
Shampoo and Conditioner
Giovanni is a beloved cruelty-free brand. Their Smooth as Silk Deep Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner have made many "Best" lists. These are great for dry or frizzy hair.
For a shampoo for all hair types, try John Masters Organics' Zinc & Sage Shampoo with Conditioner.
The Makeup
Pacifica's Stellar Gaze Length & Strength Mineral Mascara is unique, as the mascara wand is adjustable, allowing you to choose more volume or length (or both!) depending on your preference for the day. All of Pacifica's products are cruelty-free and vegan.
Cover FX is a fully vegan makeup brand, with products that utilize good-for-you ingredients. Try their oil-free Natural Finish Foundation. It comes in a huge range of shades!
100% Pure is a unique brand in that their pigments are derived from fruits! The Fruit Pigmented® Pretty Naked II Palette contains a beautiful range of eyeshadow colors.
Zuzu Luxe Liquid Eyeliner is a favorite for a jet-black liquid liner look. It's made in the United States, from natural ingredients.
At a mere $4, price is just one reason this shimmering e.l.f. Baked Highlighter is a drugstore favorite. Its opulent color creates a radiant glow!
Vegan icon Kat Von D's beauty products always hit the mark—especially this Studded Kiss Crème Lipstick.
Milani's Baked Blush is a cult-beauty favorite, and all 11 shades are gorgeous!

Model: WHK15Bar Code: 0841333100957Brand: Fantasy Flight Games
9 in stock, immediate despatch
For years, the Traxis sector has been wracked by war between the factions that would control it. Eldar, Dark Eldar, the Imperium, the forces of Chaos, the Tau Empire, Orks, and Tyranids have all fought and died upon countless battlefields. Now, however, a new faction stalks towards the battlefield, bringing death in their wake. Call the Necrons out of their Tomb Worlds and onto the battlefields of the Traxis sector with Legions of Death!
As the second deluxe expansion for Warhammer 40,000: Conquest, Legions of Death introduces an entirely new faction to the game—the Necrons. You'll quickly find that playing as the Necrons offers an experience unlike commanding any other faction. As they take slaves from every other civilized race and recycle their own units back onto the battlefield, the Necrons spread a tide of death across the sector. Two new Necron warlords offer very different playstyles, and with a new non-loyal unit for every faction and an influx of neutral cards, any player can expand his decks with this deluxe expansion.
A Warhammer 40,000 Conquest Core Set is required to play.

I'm off again to spend New Years in a different country with one of my good friends, our second New Years together in a different country… maybe a tradition is forming? Hehe.
Last year, Portugal…
This year… Keep an eye out for some related posts!
Travels, Bucket List, Challenges and every day life
Highgate Cemetery has some of the finest funerary architecture in the country. It is a place of peace and contemplation where a romantic profusion of trees, memorials and wildlife flourish.
Excerpt from Highgate Cementary
Highgate Cemetery is divided into two parts, West and East – West Cementary is by guided tour only, £12 for 70 minutes in English and departs in all weathers, the price including entrance into the East Cementary which you are free to roam around and their is a small entrance fee of £4, if not doing the tour.
The West Cementary
Selecting the guided tour option, we were very lucky to get onto the tour as we arrived a few minutes late due to delays on the Tube but the tour leader had only just arrived herself and was understanding – We quickly paid up and the tour started. The day was warm, yet cloudy and it had rained the previous day and since the tour does go out in all weathers, I suggest you wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
The tour takes you all over this section of the cementary, the tour filling the air of history and stories about the cementary, some of the occupants and how they came to be there. You'll be surprised at some of the facts you hear, including the date of the last burial (it is more recent than you think). As the tour takes you deeper and deeper into the grounds, you notice a shift from individual burials to family plots and mausoleums, shifting in size and status as you progress. One section you are allowed to enter eith the tour leader, the light barely piercing the shadows from within, this crypt emptied for reasons I have forgotten but like the tardis, small looking on the outside yet inside seems to go on for a distance.
Towards the end of the tour, after a haunting true-to-life story about one particular burial, you get a glismpe inside a mausoleum which demonstrates the loss of a loved one and a dedication to be true to their memory, their life with the money to do it – No photography here, just a small little step in to gaze at this wonder that takes your breath away. Death and grief are such powerful forces in our lives..
At the end of the tour, if you have time and interest to use your ticket to the East Cementary, included in the tour price, then keep on reading to find out about this part of Highbury Cementary.
The East Cementary
Most well known in this section of Highgate Cementary is the grave of Karl Marx, his political philosophy that influenced the world and which I have explored through my studies of history and sociology.
If you do visit this side of the cementary, be sure to use your entrance fee wisely and walk around, there are some wonderful and creative headstones belonging to poets, artists, presenters, actors etc that are worth checking out whether you recognise the names or not.
Would I do the East Cementary by itself? Probably not and would recommend that if you would like to do it, you do the guided tour in the West first, followed by the chance to walk around the East side in your own time. It is worth the time and money, with the nearby area filled with restaurants, cafes, pubs etc so that you can grab something to eat and drink.
Ended up here with my Uncle and his many strolls as tour guide that he takes us on when I am in London. We didn't go in the Royal Albert Hall but had a nice lovely coffee (or three) alongside the Serpentine.
The Royal Albert Hall & The Albert Memorial, Kensington, London
The Royal Albert Hall
Royal Albert Hall is a concert hall on the northern edge of South Kensington, London, best known for holding the Proms concerts annually each summer since 1941.
A mural by Sir Peter Blake unveiled at the venue in April 2014 shows more than 400 famous figures who have appeared at the Hall, including Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, Edward Elgar, The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan and Adele.
Excerpt from 'Wikipedia'
Have fun spotting them!
The Albert Memorial
It was commissioned by Queen Victoria in memory of her beloved husband, Prince Albert who died of typhoid in 1861.
Excerpt from 'Wikipedia'
Such a prominent memorial, splendid detailing and obvious expense – I wonder what the upkeep is like?
The Serpentine
The Serpentine (also known as the Serpentine River) is a 40-acre (16 ha) recreational lake in Hyde Park, London, England, created in 1730 at the behest of Queen Caroline.
Excerpt from 'Wikipedia'
There are a few cafes along here to sit indoors or outside alongside the Lake, which my Uncle throghtly recommends, as do I especially at sunset 😀
Hamstead Heath
Hampstead Heath is one of London's most popular open spaces, situated just six kilometres from Trafalgar Square.
An island of beautiful countryside, the magic of Hampstead Heath lies not only in its rich wildlife and extensive sports and recreational opportunities, but also in its proximity and accessibility to millions of people.
Excerpt from Hamstead Heath – Green Spaces – City of London
Such a large, beautiful area a place you could easily spend the day, take a stroll, a picnic, explore and witness the views of London without the rush of the city. It was a warm day when we went, no map just a walk that took us many places, autumn had only just arrived and the flowers of summer still showing. As you head deeper into this large landscape, you will come across the grounds of Kenwood House…
Kenwood House
On the edge of Hampstead Heath surrounded by tranquil landscaped gardens, Kenwood is one of London's hidden gems. The breathtaking interiors and stunning world-class art collection are free for everyone to enjoy. With children's activities, a café to relax in and acres of grounds to stretch your legs, there are treats in store for every visitor. Come and see what Kenwood has to offer you.
Excerpt from Kenwood | English Heritage
It's free, so always a draw in London so a wonderful addition to your trip to Hamstead Heath and if you like art, artitecture and your history, even better. For the lovers of art, their are paintings by famous artists including Rembrandt, Turner, Gainsborough and Vermeer as well as various sculptures and jewellery. From the outside to in, the artitecture is intricate, well thought out and stands out, you have to see it to believe it – My creative skills are quite poor, so respect those that have mastered their crafts and appreciate all art regardless of form.
Whilst the house is small, the impact is much bigger and is worth a visit alongside a trip to this area. By itself, not so much unless you plan to spend your day on the heath, in the gardens and the nearby suburb which has lots of lovely cafes and shops.
Calling all history buffs and lovers everywhere, these are the places you will want to see and experience!
Maybe, I am being a little bit dramatic and anyone can visit but seriously… art lovers too. If you are in Greenwich, it is so easy to spend the entire day visiting the places below as well as The Royal Observatory and Cutty Sark with a large green space to chill out on, as well.
National Maritime Museum & Gardens
The first thing on this list and I didn't have time to go in! I really want to though, but I was pressed for time to do the other things in Greenwich but I will be back some day – It's a history museum, try and keep me away! Haha.
Old Royal Naval College
I wasn't really expecting to walk into a large hall and find the walls and ceilings covered head to toe in beautiful artwork which took my breath away. I lost track of time here exploring the details that surrounded me, leading me to the back of the room to more extradionary designs, almost transported to another time and place. My photos just don't give the place justice, which the staff have created a beautiful ambience with fitting decorations of furniture and a welcoming atmosphere to explore and investigate.
Beyond this hall, there are other areas to explore, just walk around the outdoor areas and you'll find signs inviting you into other areas (subject to opening times), as well as accessible toilets and cafes – Although, with such open spaces, why not eat outside and have a picnic?
Queen's House
No photography allowed!
Such a quaint place, that whilst small is filled with lots of knowledge, artifacts and history to wet the appetite that you don't want to rush through it despite the small size. Tempting as it is, I forced myself to slow down and take in and read everything, enjoying the experience followed by the surprise that it had come to an end so soon.
If in the area, check it out along with the other amazing sights above.
Greenwich – Simply make a day of it to enjoy everything it has to offer!

Sudan and Russia nuclear deal
- Release Date: May 17, 2017
The spokesperson of the ministry of water resources and electricity of Sudan revealed that Sudan is seeking cooperation with Russia to establish nuclear power plants.

(…) "there are documents will be presented from the two sides, the Russian company and the mentioned Sudanese ministries, to consider cooperation in the use of nuclear energy. This workshop is considered as "first steps" for cooperation in several fields, and reflects the ministry of electricity concern in the field of training and capacity-building and building a nuclear power plant for the purpose of electricity".
Worth mentioning, that Sudan informed the (IAEA) in 2012 of its intention to use nuclear energy to generate electricity, pointing the increase in electricity demand because of the country's population grew.
Sudan, represented by the ministry of water resources and electricity, signed on the 24th of May 2016, a memorandum of understanding with China national nuclear energy corporation to build nuclear reactors that will contribute in generating electricity for the country.

Yes..... EXIF data..........From images taken in 1977!
Here's a history lesson for you young-uns'. Back when we were your age, cameras didn't record things like shutter speed, aperture, lens used, etc. We actually had to carry a notepad and pencil and *gasp!* write that stuff down!
A couple days ago, I came across some of my old notebooks I carried way back then. Yes, I still have them, although the information has been transferred to the slide frame (I shot mostly Kodachrome 25). But I just can't bring myself to toss these out, even though there's really nothing on them that is truly irreplaceable.
And a screenshot of the above images of the digitized files that are now on my hard drive:

Fifty-six of the world's top bartenders descended on Miami last month to compete for the title of World Class Bartender of the Year 2016. We touched on the first few rounds, during which the 56 contestants were whittled down to 12. After another six were knocked out in a round that tested their knowledge of classic American cocktails, the final six were asked to conceive, create and operate a pop-up bar.
The competition was won by French bartender Jennifer Le Nechet, from Café Moderne in Paris, who closed out the competition by creating a Steampunk-themed pop-up bar. This is the first time a female bartender has won the event, which began in 2012.
"I'm completely blown away," said Le Nechet after the win. "It's such an honour to take home the title of World's Best Bartender – especially when competing against such talent from around the world."
Judge Alex Kratena said it was Le Nechet's ingenuity that stood out. "Her pop-up bar blew us all away with its cool Steampunk theme and twist on classic cocktails with homemade emulsions, cola and organic ingredients," says Kratena, who points out that the competition highlighted how cocktail culture has moved far beyond the classics. "[These bartenders are] developing new and exciting techniques every step of the way."
It's that last comment that is having a ripple effect in Australia. According to Tim Philips, co-owner of Sydney's Dead Ringer and Bulletin Place, and World Class Bartender of the Year in 2012, the global competition is also a reflection of emerging local trends.
One trend the competition reflected was the concept of bartenders highlighting the "emotional" aspect of cocktails. Philips says this isn't particularly surprising, as the customer's personal experience is always paramount. "When coming up with a new drink, a bartender should always have an occasion in mind," says Philips. "What it's for? When it's for? Who's it for? Drinks can be party-starters, night-enders, aperitifs, digestives, refreshers and more. All of these have emotional occasions connected to them, and that emotion is what needs to be channelled by the bartender to make the drink appropriate"
A better example of Australia reflecting new trends is drinks no longer being gendered. "This is probably the biggest turn in cocktail culture in Australia," says Philips. "Whisky is now androgynous – gone are the days of only men drinking it. The same goes for drinks in coupettes, like daiquiris. More men are drinking rosé. Delicious is delicious, so we are stepping out of gender stereotyping in the way we drink."
Here's two of Jennifer Le Nechet's award-winning cocktail recipes to try at home.
Jennifer Le Nechet,'s Red Snapper
Serves one. Approx. 2 standard drinks.
60ml Tanqueray No. TEN
15ml lemon juice
90ml tomato juice seasoned with one pinch of pepper, one pinch of salt
Method: Roll the ingredients in a shaker. Served in a Highball glass on ice. Garnish with dry carrot stick and celery pickles.
Jennifer Le Nechet's Cosmopolitan
Serves one. Approx. 2 standard drinks.
45ml Ketel One Citroen Vodka
15ml Triple Sec
10ml lime juice
30ml cranberry juice
Method: Shake ingredients. Served with orange zest in a Coupette glass without ice.

The Colby Pullers Club and First Centennial Mortgage has teamed up to bring you the Light Limited Super Stock Shootout to our Pulling for Youth Hunger & Health event!
Both Friday and Saturday Night's pull will have a combined purse of $4000 with the weekend's overall winner taking home $500! All rules and information about the event will be posted!
How it will work is pullers in the Light Limited Super Stock class will be allowed to hook both nights, only if they pass rules (posted below) for each night's hook, and will gain points between both pulls. The winner from each pull will get 50 points and we will subtract by 2 for each place (1st = 50, 2nd = 48, 3rd = 46, etc...). The puller with the most combined points after both night's pulls will be the winner of the shootout.
We are excited to add another twist to the 2019 Pulling for Youth Hunger & Health event to help promote the 12 school districts, United Way, Ronald McDonald House, and the Central Wisconsin communities and youth!
We hope we have a good turnout of tractors participating in this new and exciting event and look forward to making this bigger and better next year. Any questions please ask!

An Unlikely American Classic: The T-Shirt
Seeing as summer has quietly come to an end, we decided to close it with a last minute salute to an unlikely American classic. The T-shirt, while not usually finding itself at the sartorial winners podium, has a fairly young history. We won't concern ourselves with the uncertainties of said history, such as its first recorded use, an already greatly debated question. We will however concern ourselves with its emergence as an acceptable form of casual garb not limited to the barracks.
After it's introduction in the Spanish-American war, the T-shirt found itself exclusively used as a form of underwear for soldiers. Through trickle down it became accepted in American society as a way to keep a gentleman from sweating through those old button downs and oxfords. It wasn't until WWII, that American GI's on the European war front, observed both civilians and European soldiers using the t-shirt as a form of casual wear.

Confirming the suspicions and many whispers regarding the illegitimacy of the Timex/JCREW Military watch, comes Hodinkee to confirm the claims. You are sure to see them virtually everywhere you go – a clean brush grade steel case with the Arabic numerals on a NATO nylon band. Not a bad look, a solid nod to function over aesthetic, and overall a clean sharp looking watch. However, it is the basis behind the aesthetic that has watch enthusiasts raising their brow.
While JCREW sets the watch in a WWII context by advertising its origins from that of a 1940s military watch produced by Timex, that reality is a little further from the truth. Or 40 years from the truth. It seems the watch was not inspired by any timepiece in existence at the time, but but by a design Timex pitched to the military in the 1980s, and was consequently never picked up. Still a functional and clever design, but nonetheless one carried out in nothing more than good ole' American plastic – intended to be disposable. Surprisingly, its elusiveness has caused it to become a bit of a relic among watch collectors.

Reynolds, 26, wound up signing on with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent out of Virginia back in 2013. He lasted two years in Jacksonville before he was waived and later signed off their practice squad by the Bears.
The Falcons signed him to a one-year contract last year and brought him back on another one-year, $1.3 million contract.
In 2017, Reynolds appeared in nine games for the Falcons and recorded seven total tackles.

Enjoy life by sipping the best drinking water
All the organs within your body, especially the brain necessitates the consumption of the very best drinking water if they're to operate at ideal levels. However, entry to safe water is crucial if you do not want to fall ill or suffer from any long-term outcomes of harmful chemicals or heavy metals that might be present in the water. You should explore various options so as to make sure that just the very best drinking water enters your system.
You could be receiving your drinking water through municipal taps and may even be www.aromhuset.org satisfied with the same. However as time passes by, the pipe bringing that water into your home could get corroded or perhaps your holding tanks might get old and damaged if you don't clean them at regular intervals. This could cause dangerous heavy metals to make their way into your house. In such a case you can easily install a drinking water dispenser with inbuilt filters to prevent bacteria, chemicals or heavy metals from passing through. You can also install a water cooler and enjoy the benefits of drinking water in chilled form.
If you are not comfortable with your tap water then you could also get access to the best drinking water by purchasing those 5 gallon bottles obtainable in several stores and inverting them over your water cooler or dispenser. If drinking plain water gets boring, then you can add some fun in your life by adding on a soda club machine in order to do your personal water carbonation right at home. You can also build your own carbonation unit with diy water carbonation kits to make carbonated water in a fraction of the cost at which it's for sale in stores. Alternatively you can buy a readymade soda club machine such as soda club sodastream to get bubbly club soda on the press of a button.
The key is to stay hydrated all the time so your skin, muscles, kidneys and brain, among other organs do not feel parched and shift into shut-down mode. This might lead to cramps, dizziness, and kidney trouble, among other temporary or permanent problems that could affect the quality of your life. If you find plain water tasteless and a pain to gulp down, then you can certainly also add fruity flavors which are calorie and sugar-free to spice up that water. This will turn your very best drinking water into flavored water or flavored carbonated water which can be sipped all day long. You can also enjoy readymade flavored seltzer water if it does not contain any chemicals or calories. The trick is always to remain safely and happily hydrated by any means at the end of each day.
You don't need to spend a fortune to sip on the best drinking water as there are several economical options available that could allow you to make plain or delicious water right in your own home. You need to make sure that you and your loved ones only drink safe drinking water devoid of any germs, heavy metals or chemicals. With the addition of flavors or carbonating your water, it is possible to turn a dull chore into a much-awaited activity that can keep hydration levels up and diseases at bay.

I am proposing the very last thing most would do with the Red Sox bullpen – nothing. Do you feel lucky? With this team I do. Players have consistently stepped up.
Do you feel lucky?
Never underestimate the value of pitching since you never have enough. This is playing out this season with the Red Sox rotation and the scrum that is happening in the fifth spot in the rotation. Just when Steven Wright starts to contribute at a high level down he goes. David Price had an early issue that put pressure on the rotation. One hamstring or tender elbow and the season will slowly drain away.
This, however, is all about the bullpen. The Red Sox statistically have the third best 'pen in the American League with a 4.3 fWAR – just behind the Yankees and the Astros. The deeper statistics – traditional and metrics – show a remarkable consistency. Third in ERA (3.23), third in FIP (3.36), third in GB% (45.8), and third in LOB% (78.1). The negative is a 3.38 BB/9 that places the Boston 'pen in the statistical middle.
The Red Sox have a reliance on Matt Barnes, Joe Kelly, Heath Hembree, and Craig Kimbrel. They represent the shock troops to finish off a game. All four also provide the bulk of that nasty BB/9 with Kimbrel at a 3.58 BB/9 and climbing up to Barnes at a 4.31 BB/9. But Barnes, in particular, is having a phenomenal season with a 2.10 FIP and a 12.9 K/9.
Bullpens usually dissipated with depth – the deeper you go the more questionable the talent level. Hector Velazquez is 6-0, but his 10.5 H/9 is scary since Velazquez pitches to contact. That said Velazquez does excellent duty in long relief roles and the occasional spot start. The rest of the 'pen has their good moments and bad moments as do most bullpens.
There is always the possibility of a suddenly hidden gem surfacing such as veteran Ryan Braiser or Brandon Workman finding his talent after extended injuries. Maybe Tyler Thornburg will find the pitching magic that made him one of the best? And Bobby Poyner has a future.
I will go against the grain and my own philosophy and stay the course. Simply do not trade. No Addison Reed this year. Of course, for a very low price, Zach Britton could tempt me, but I'll pass expecting the price would be too high. Go with what you have.
What I propose is a risky move that has a yellow tape danger marker surrounding it. Relying on Justin Haley, Marcus Walden, Jalen Beeks, and Robby Scott to fill out the bottom of the bullpen is most certainly attempting to tightrope Niagara Falls in a blizzard, but I say accept the risk. Trust in the previously mentioned to provide the necessary pitching spackle. You brought them to camp and now that confidence needs to be extended.

OLYMPIC figure skating medallist Denis Ten has been killed, and prosecutors in Kazakhstan said they were treating the case as murder.
Ten was stabbed after a dispute with people who allegedly tried to steal a mirror from his car in his home city of Almaty, Kazakh news agencies reported.
Doctors in Almaty say the 25-year-old skater died in the hospital there.
Born in Kazakhstan to a family of Korean descent, Ten's bronze at the Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014 made him Kazakhstan's first medallist in figure skating.
American Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon called Ten an "inspiration to me and so many other people."
"Denis, thank you for showing us how to be a champion," he said. "Your time with us was way too short. Love you forever."
My skating friend, @Tenis_Den, passed away today. He was so kind to everyone and a huge inspiration to me and so many other people. Murdered in the streets of Kazakhstan. Denis, thank you for showing us how to be a champion. Your time with us was way too short. Love you forever.— Adam Rippon (@Adaripp) July 19, 2018
Canadian skater Patrick Chan, who won silver in the same competition, said on Twitter he was "honoured and grateful to have shared the ice" with Ten.
"One of the most beautiful skaters to have graced our sport. My thoughts are with his family during this unimaginable time."
I feel so honored and grateful to have shared the ice with @Tenis_Den. One of the most beautiful skaters to have graced our sport. My thoughts are with his family during this unimaginable time. I feel so lucky to have made memories with Denis that I will cherish forever...— Patrick Chan (@Pchiddy) July 19, 2018
Completely devastated by the passing of Denis Ten. He was as bright and kind as he was talented. This is such an incredible loss and tragedy. My heart is with his family and loved ones. pic.twitter.com/pXGB2OdvYg— Johnny Weir (@JohnnyGWeir) July 19, 2018
The International Skating Union said it was "deeply saddened" by news of Ten's death.
"His shining achievements brought glory to our country and helped popularise sport among young people," Kazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev said. "Denis was not only an excellent athlete, whose talents was recognised and honoured in many countries of the world, but also a remarkable personality and a true patriot of Kazakhstan."
Ten also won the Four Continents championships in 2015, and was a world championship silver medallist in 2013.
Ten struggled with injuries in recent years and could manage only 27th at the PyeongChang Olympics in February.
Ten hadn't formally retired from skating, but in recent months he'd often spoken of his studies in economics and his plans to write a movie script.
"Independently of what happens in the future, I realise that I had a great career, where everything happened — highs and lows, medals and disappointments, nice memories and not so nice ones, unique events, meetings and many magical things," Ten said in September in an interview with the ISU website. "Somewhere I realise that I was a really lucky person with a quite fulfilled sports life."

Fresh FIR lodged against RJD MP Md Shahabuddin
The victim, the officer-in-charge (OC) of Barharia police station has lodged a complaint stating that he was threatened with dire consequences by the Siwan MP, reports Ramashankar.india Updated: May 03, 2007 22:20 IST
Incarcerated RJD MP from Siwan, Md Shahabuddin, allegedly threatened a prosecution witness on Wednesday in the designated trial court at the Siwan district jail. The victim, the officer-in-charge (OC) of Barharia police station, BK Pandey, has lodged a complaint with the Mufassil police station in this connection.
Pandey alleged in his complaint that he was threatened with dire consequences by the Siwan MP when he reached the designated court of Judicial Magistrate VV Gupta, to depose in two cases — 102/04 and 41/05 — lodged at the Pachrukhi and Hussainganj police stations, respectively.
The two cases are related to theft of vehicles and their subsequent recovery from the MP's residential premises at Pratappur village during a raid conducted there by the Siwan police.
A police officer said that a case had been lodged against Shahabuddin under sections 506 and 353 of the IPC on the basis of the complaint lodged at the local police station. "We are looking into the matter," he said.
On the other hand, the defence counsel urged the court to defer the MP's trial because the Additional Advocate General, Ram Vilas Mahto, was not present in the court. Sources said this was the fourth case lodged against the MP since he was arrested from New Delhi last year.
Meanwhile, the Patna High Court bench of Justice Shyam Kishore Sharma adjourned the hearing on the petition filed by Shahabuddin, challenging the constitution of a special court on the premises of Siwan jail.
The court asked the state prison department to reply within 10 days on the MP's petition seeking his 'production- in- person' before the Muzaffarpur court in connection with a criminal case pending there against him. The court asked the Bihar Inspector General (prison) to mention the difficulties, if any, in producing the petitioner in Muzaffarpur court from Siwan district jail.
The petitioner pleaded to get himself personally produced before SDJM, Muzafarpur, so that he might be remanded in the Kazi Mohammadpur police station case in which production-warrant had already been issued by Chief Judicial magistrate (CJM), Muzaffarpur on December 6, 2006.
The Siwan MP is presently lodged at Siwan jail and despite the direction of Muzaffarpur CJM to produce him there, the Siwan jail authorities had not produced the MP before SDJM (East), Muzaffarpur.
Kazi Mohammadpur (PS case no 182/2005) case relates to MP's LLB part 2 examination at RDS college, Muzaffarpur as candidate from SK Memorial Silver Jubilee Law College, Muzaffarpur when the MP was evading arrest in a number of cases pending against him.

The leaks for Motorola's anticipated follow up devices to last year's Moto X and Moto G have appeared yet again before tomorrow's announcement, and earlier today exclusive images of the Moto 360 were leaked as well. All of this is happening despite some embargoes that were put in place for the people attending the closed press only event that went on today. In this latest set of leaks, the new Moto X and new Moto G(Moto G2) have allegedly appeared on a German online retailer called Media Markt.de. Images are included in these listings as well as a full list of specifications for the soon to be announced devices, and since the specs have thus far not been leaked or made public officially from Motorola, it's pretty interesting to see these so close to the event which is due to happen mere hours from now. Soon we should know if the specs that have been listed are true.
In addition to the specs list being leaked with retail listings of both new Motorola devices, a video has leaked of the new Moto X(Moto X+1) which shows a short but sweet hands on. It only lasts about 0:29, so there's no in depth juicy detail, but any hands on time we can view before official announcements is certainly intriguing. First let's gloss over the leaked retail listings. The Moto X is said to be running Android 4.4.4 kit kat, and is listed as having a Snapdragon 801 quad-core CPU, Adreno 330 GPU, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage. It's also listed as having a 5.2-inch AMOLED display at 1080p resolution with 423 ppi, a 13MP camera on the rear with 1080p recording at 30 fps, and a 2MP camera on the back. It's listed as supporting Bluetooth 4.0 LE and having LTE connectivity, and as far as the battery goes it looks like this time around the Moto X seemingly packs a battery with 2300mAh capacity. The camera lists 4x digital zoom, however there were rumors that it would possibly support optical zoom so either that is truly not the case, or the listing has left that out or is incorrect. We'll surely be learning that tomorrow, and our own Alex Maxham is live at the event so we'll be able to bring you some great coverage as well as images of the good stuff when we can.
When it comes to the new Moto G, the site lists that it carries the new 5-inch display which is something that we saw in the video leak from earlier. This is also listed as running Android 4.4.4 kit kat out of the box, having a 1.2GHz quad-core processor with Adreno 305 450 MHz single GPU, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage space, and 720p HD display resolution. The camera on the back is 8MP with LED flash and the front camera is listed as 2MP and 720p recording at 30FPS. The listing also states Bluetooth 4.0 LE, but only lists 3G network connectivity. The video leak from earlier however stated LTE capabilities, so it's likely the listing for this model is not the same model in the video leak from before, which suggests 3G and 4G models of the new Moto G. Battery wise, it appears to not be too far behind the new Moto X, with a battery that holds a 2070mAh capacity.
Now for the leaked Moto X video which we picked up thanks to our friends at Android Police. We will get to see things full on tomorrow, or late tonight if you're here on the west coast like myself, so there's not a ton of stuff to see in the video leak. Still, it's worth a watch. The video does show off the phone's design and we can see the dual front facing speakers, so this is a plus and should hopefully make for good audio quality. Have a look.
