WWE superstar Dean Ambrose's surge in popularity has led to numerous opportunities.
The fan favorite recently shared the screen with Arnold Schwarzenegger during a "WWE 2K16" video game commercial shoot. The iconic action star and former California governor is a playable character as the Terminator in the upcoming video game, out Oct. 27 nationally and Oct. 30 internationally.
Ambrose went face-to-face during a bar scene with the WWE Hall of Famer and lived to tell about it.
"That was crazy," he said. "I didn't know anything about it until I got there that day. 'Terminator' is one of my favorite movies. To do a complete reenactment of one of my favorite parts in the movie, working with Arnold Schwarzenegger and he is giving me the Terminator eyes. It was so surreal. It was so trippy. The word I use to describe everything with the whole 'WWE 2K16' experience. So it was very cool. It's one of those bonuses you get while living the life of a WWE superstar. The cool stuff you get to do."
For Ambrose, 29, seeing himself in video game form is still a "trippy experience." The evolution of his character in the WWE 2K franchise has correlated well with what the "Lunatic Fringe" looks like on TV.
"It's all so surreal seeing yourself in a video game," Ambrose said. "A couple of years ago I couldn't wait to see what I looked like in the game. Now I'm used to it, but now it's so realistic that it freaks me out. I think this is how movies like 'Terminator' started in the first place. They take your brain and put it directly in the game. The guys at 2K do such an amazing job. It's such a realistic game you feel you are watching 'Monday Night Raw,' but you have control over everything that is happening. It's trippy."
The rule-bender, whose real name is ironically enough Jonathan Good, is among the tremendous success stories within WWE's developmental system. Ambrose impressed officials on the independent scene working for promotions like Combat Zone Wrestling, Dragon Gate USA and Jersey All Pro Wrestling. He joined Florida Championship Wrestling and began his WWE career in 2011. It didn't take long for the renegade to join the main roster with his fellow Shield brothers Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins. He left FCW just as it was evolving into NXT.
"I kind of miss that whole NXT thing," Ambrose said. "When I was there it was Florida Championship Wrestling with Seth Rollins and the other guys who were there. I wrestled on like local access Florida TV in front of 30 people. It was a tiny little situation. I felt like we were distanced from the rest of the company. We felt we were on an island that WWE didn't even know we existed. That gave us the chip on our shoulder.
"That gave us the motivation when we got there and the attitude we needed to take over WWE when we did. I wouldn't have had it any other way. It's great for those guys. Now they don't have to worry about being on an island wondering if anyone knows them. They have their own TV show every week. They get to go on tour and travel. They get to be their own brand. It's like a whole other brand of WWE. It's just like a shoot-off of Raw or SmackDown."
Ambrose as this unpredictable personality who regularly goes against the establishment has resonated with the audience. Comparisons have been made to "WWE 2K16" cover legend "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Terry Funk, as well as the late Brian Pillman and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. Ambrose is grateful to share the ring with Piper, even for only a brief time.
"He was an original, one of the greatest of all-time," Ambrose said. "What can I say about him that nobody hasn't said? I got to know him a little bit. I got to be on Piper's Pit and have that moment. What you see was what you got with Roddy. He never tried to put on an act or tried to be anything he was not. That is what I do. I just go out there and be me. I don't think about it too much. That was Roddy. He says what he wants to say and does what he wants to do. Whether you loved him or hated him, I think people respected that."
The WWE Universe also respects Ambrose, who always gives 100 percent and entertains the crowds on a consistent basis. The reason the tank top and jeans wearing superstar makes it look easy is because he isn't trying to be anybody else. What you see is what you get.
"There is no creative process to come up with a character of Dean Ambrose," he said. "Dean Amborse is collective experience of 29 years of life. It's the good, the bad, the ugly, after 10 years plus of wrestling. Everybody goes through their own life experiences. The good, the bad and the ugly that has formed me, shaped me and created the person I am today. That is what you see on TV. I don't try to get anybody to like me or hate me. I just do what I do. If you are good at what you do, good things follow. I just happen to be very, very good at what I do."
FYI: "Lunatic Fringe" is also a Red Ryder song, featured in the 1985 movie "Vision Quest," starring Matthew Modine, who plays Louden Swain, a high school wrestler in Spokane, Washington -- not Aberdeen.

Americans preparing to invade PakistanNovember 22nd, 2007 - 4:01 pm ICT by admin
Lahore, Nov 22 (ANI): Dr Mubashar Hasan, Pakistan Peoples Party-Shaheed Bhutto (PPP-SB) Punjab president, has warned the government and the people against the US designs, and said that the US is preparing for a possible Iraq-like invasion of Pakistan.
The former minister said that the situation in Pakistan was a front-page story on every US national newspaper every day depicting an alarming picture of possible "collapse" of the country.
Dr Hasan, who returned from US recently, said that a prestigious think tank worked out that one million American troops would be required to invade Pakistan to "save" it from a "collapse".
He claimed the US was searching for a military general willing to cooperate with it when the time was ripe.
Dr Hasan said the US wanted a military solution of the conflict it had created in the tribal areas between the demands of national security of Pakistan and the autonomy enjoyed by the people there for the last five decades.
In reality there was no conflict between the interests of the tribal Pakistanis and the government in Islamabad but the US had shamelessly chosen a moment to achieve its nefarious objectives when people were out on the streets to claim the freedom of media and judiciary.
He said the people wanted a genuine democratic dispensation for Pakistan. The US suddenly started crying hoarse in favour of the same but the people wanted it to let them fight their own battle, the Dawn reported. (ANI)

Can Smoking One Cigarette After Quitting Turn You into An Addict Again?
Quitting cigarettes is one of the toughest things to do. A lot of smokers and addicts find it really hard to cope with the change. According to a survey, only 5% of the quitters successfully stay in their commitment while the other 95 percentile gives up again. However, if you are someone who is willing to quit, then you should remember that even smoking one cigarette after quitting can be catastrophic for you.
For the smokers, you already know what a smoking addiction can do to you. It becomes your life, you dream about it all the time. You think that the only way to get over your stress is the cigarette and smoke make you feel peaceful. And by the time you know, you have become a chain smoker. It all starts with that one cigarette that our friend might have handed over you the first time and soon it turns out to be two, three, four and eventually an entire packet in a day; maybe even more.
When you decide to quit, it takes a lot of mental preparation and your hard work. Quitting smoking isn't easy at all. There are many stages, and many games plan that you follow when you decide to quit smoking. And after a long time when you finally become successful in quitting smoking, the "just one more" can ruin everything.
So when you think smoking one cigarette after quitting doesn't make any differences, you are wrong. Quitting takes a lot of effort and by smoking just one cigarette again, (even if you think that you are going to do it just once), it will open a doorway to your addiction to smoking once again. What you should do after quiting smoking, is become active again ( join a gym ) and have a clean eating meal plan
Why Should You Not Smoke At All After Quitting?
Remember how you started? It all started with just one cigarette. So if you carry on the one cigarette formula, you might end up being an addict again. You should never smoke after you quit because –
- It is your thirsty subconscious mind playing games with you. When you are craving for smoking one cigarette after quitting, you tend to forget all the troubles you have been through for smoking. You forget the amount of hard work and dedication have put while quitting smoking. So you should make sure that you stay away from the "only one cigarette" formula for good.
- When you finally give up and smoke that one cigarette after quitting, you tend to form an idea in your mind that quitting smoking is hard and you can no longer stay without smoking a cigarette. And you become a chain smoker once again. If you are not willing to be one, you should not take your one cigarette idea seriously.
The just one cigarette formula is the main reason 95% of the people find it hard to commit to no smoking. However, it is obvious to get cravings for cigarettes. But when you do feel cravings for your cigarettes distract your mind. Do not think that it is hard to quit; otherwise, it will become even harder than it seems.

To so many homeowners, owning an air conditioner is not only a luxury but also a huge necessity. This important unit keeps your home cool and comfortable during the extremely hot season. It is, therefore, your responsibility as a homeowner, of ensuring that the air circulating your house remains cool and is of good quality always, by watching out for your air conditioning system. When your AC unit starts to show signs of damage, inefficiency or malfunction, the appropriate repairs ought to be done before the problem escalates into something bigger and much more costly. As a matter of fact, delaying air conditioning repairs will only lead to more problems, costlier damages, jeopardized comfort, higher energy bills, and reduced equipment lifetime. If you own an AC system in your home, below are some pointers you might want to have a look at in our article, air conditioning repair 101: what homeowners should have in mind.
How Your Air Conditioner Works
Your air conditioner cools the air around your home by removing the heat from the warm air. Warm air is sucked from the indoor space and blown through a set of pipes in the AC called the evaporator coils. The evaporator coils are filled with a liquid called a refrigerant. After absorbing heat from the air, this liquid changes state to gas and is then pumped to the condenser component of the air conditioning system. In the condenser, the absorbed heat is released into the outdoor air while the refrigerant goes back into liquid state and the cycle continues. Most air conditioners have a thermostat, which is the device that regulates the amount and temperature of cool air supplied throughout your home.
A Word about Air Filters And Your Air Conditioner
These are found in the ductwork system or other strategic points within the HVAC system. They help in removing particles from the air both to keep the air conditioner system clean and the air supplied from the unit. As the process causes the air filters to get loaded with particles, the air filters may become loaded clogged with debris, which may consequently lead to a reduction in air flow. This can, in turn, pave the way to energy inefficiency, potentially leading to high electricity bills, increased frequency of repairs, and a reduction in the equipment's lifetime. This means that regular air filter replacement is not only an important aspect of central air conditioning system maintenance but also plays a huge part in preventing the need for air conditioning repairs in the first place.
Costly Air Conditioner Repairs Are Usually Preventable
Some air conditioning repairs such as condenser replacement can be highly expensive. One of the ways you can prevent costly AC repairs is by regularly cleaning your filters, cleaning your condensate drains, and checking out for warning signs of a bad or malfunctioning air conditioning unit. Scheduling annual professional maintenance can also be a helpful way, especially with contractors that a reputed for preventive maintenance services.
Choose Your AC Repair Contractor Wisely
Having as much information as possible on DYI tips and what to do when something goes wrong is overly important. However, knowing how to hire an experienced, professional air conditioning repair contractor is even more important. This is because a reputed HVAC expert is well trained and qualified to handle the specific job without hitches and will be able to detect the most complex and hidden problems. When choosing an HVAC service contractor, always be on the lookout for common scams in the air HVAC industry and be prepared on how to avoid them.
According to the manager of the Altitude Comfort Heating and Air – air conditioning repair Denver division, choosing the right HVAC contractor is the absolute most important thing to focus on when you need HVAC service. "Everything else will take care of itself if you choose a really good company to take care of your problem."

Continued from Save the Trinidad (The Unwritten Biography of Cayetano Valdés)
Sometimes people have the misfortune to live in 'interesting' times. Exciting, even. In the case of Spain, in fact, it's difficult to find a period of history when the times were not 'exciting' – so it shouldn't come as surprise that the excitement in Cayetano Valdés's life not ended with Trafalgar, but rather, it began.
I mean you'd think there he was, sitting ashore in the naval ports of Cádiz and Cartagena, figuratively licking his wounds… having been promoted to senior officer, safely behind a desk in an office, pushing paper in the grand Spanish fashion, into quiet old age – since there wasn't much of a navy left for him to command, right?

The Indian Premier League (IPL) auction will take place this Saturday where all the scouts and decision-makers of the various franchises will be present to bid in for the precious T20 international talent.
Of the 121 foreign superstars available in the auction, let us look at the Cricket Australia stars who could rake in some serious cash, according to TOI.
Usman Khawaja
The left-hand batsman powered the Sydney Thunder's to the Big Bash League (BBL) title with his 70 scored from 40 balls. He featured in four BBL games in which he garnered 345 runs with a strike-rate of 163.50.
The amazing BBL form included two hundreds and two fifties. has a base price of US $225,000 and can expect to receive much more than that as the franchises will be looking onto him as an opener or first-down batsman.
Aaron Finch
Finch is one of the top batsmen in T20 Internationals and has recently scored a brilliant 74 against India. Finch previously featured for Mumbai Indians in the IPL. However, the Mumbai franchise has decided to offload him this season. Finch will gather interest from many teams looking for a powerful opener, like Pune Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders. Finch has a base price of US $300,000.
Cricket Australia won't have its National team playing during the IPL, hence the 29-year-old will be available for the entire duration of the tournament.
Shane Watson
Shane Watson rose to international fame playing for the IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals. However, with the Royals now suspended for two years, the 34-year-old is without any team. Watson recently featured for the Australian team against India in the T20 International series. He scored the second-highest individual score in a T20Is in the last match of the series, an unbeaten 124 off 71 balls.
In the BBL, Watson has a strike rate of 132.02 with 235 runs under his belt. The brisk medium-pace bowler also took nine wickets in the tournament.
Kane Richardson
Richardson was only available for five matches in the BBL for the Adelaide Strikers as he was playing for Australia against India. Richardson has 54 career wickets in T20Is with a strike-rate of 20.3. Even though with an expensive run rate of 7.88, Richardson has a base price of US $300,000 and is expected to get much higher than that.
It certainly looks like Cricket Australia players will leave their mark in this season's IPL, at least in terms of money.

Your cart is lonely!
Discover Ghee
Our golden, grass-fed ghee is a sensation for your taste buds. As a popular form of clarified butter, ghee is more digestible, shelf-stable and bursting with essential nutrients.* Rich in sweet, nutty flavor, our aromatic ghee is a velvety smooth, melt-in-your-mouth sensation that will leave you saying, 'Ghee, whiz!'
The secret to good ghee?- First, we source the creamiest, best-tasting grass-fed butter—a noticeably golden, yellow color and heavenly aroma. Next, we reduce ('clarify') it until we're left with nothing but a pure butterfat that's silky smooth in texture. Our grass-fed cows make all the difference...grain-sourced ghee just can't compare.
Good for Your Gut* - Ghee is a natural source of butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid that supports the cells of the digestive tract. Butyric acid has been clinically shown to support bowel function, immunity, and digestion.*
The Details
Ingredients: Organic Unsalted Butter (Organic Cream, Lactic Acid) (Milk)
Serving Size: 1 Tbsp (15ml)
Number of Servings per Container: About 63
How We're Different
While other brands may come from grain-fed cows, we source our butter from grass-fed cows for a difference you can taste. We then reduce the butter into a pure, aromatic butterfat. How can you tell it's all-natural? Different jars can have different textures (like grainy or runny) and colors (from light yellow to deep gold). That's because ghee is made up of many fatty acids, each with its own melting point. Depending on the surrounding temperature, they melt or solidify, bringing about changes in texture. To melt it, just set in warm or hot water. For a creamy texture, melt your ghee, place in the fridge until it has solidified, then store at room temperature.
Ways to Enjoy
With a smoke point of 485°F (252°C), it's ideal for high-heat sautéing or deep frying. Of course, it IS a form of butter, so you can spread it on toast, muffins, bagels and more, or melt and drizzle it over veggies, potatoes and popcorn. The possibilities are endless!
Ghee pairs as the perfect creamer for coffee or tea. Supercharge your morning with our liquid gold. Add 1 tbsp of Viva Naturals Organic Ghee and 1 tbsp of Viva Naturals MCT Oil to your cup of joe, for long-lasting energy without the dreaded crash! Blend ingredients together for best results. Warning: may result in full-bodied aroma and flavor.
Soups, stir-frys, gravies, you name it—ghee's versatility is practically endless. Combine spices with our golden ghee, and infuse their color and aroma into your favorite foods.
Ghee replaces butter at a 1:1 ratio in baked goods, and traditional cooking oils at 1:1 when melted. Add rich, nutty flavor to muffins, cupcakes, cakes and more!

Your health and well-being are important to you—and that means they're important to us.

Fiera Cavalli and the Verona, Italy, FEI World Cup Qualifier
After a four hour train and bus ride from my cozy apartment in downtown Florence, Italy, I arrived at the gates of Fiera Cavalli 2008, the annual horse fair and expo held in Verona, Italy. I was alone, hundreds of kilometers from anything familiar, and still only about an intermediate Italian speaker, but I was fearless and my eyes were surely shining as I walked underneath the banner you see at the right. Up to that point, it had been a long, primarily horseless semester of study abroad, but a chance sighting of an ad in a magazine I had purchased in a train station a month earlier had led me to this, the mecca of equine sport in Italy.
The fair itself was impressive, and I got a quick education that things at the top levels of Italian sport are not as they are here in the US. I saw everything from red alligator skin boots, to helmets that looked like a science fiction creation, to pitiful attempts to recreate American western wear. But that wasn't why I was there. I was there to see the FEI World Cup Show Jumping Qualifier.
|Vintage Texas originals! Somehow, I doubt that.
|So many cute old guys on gorgeous horses. I cannot overstate this Italian phenomenon.
I settled into my seat in time to catch the second half of the Prestige class, which occurred right before the FEI class, and it was during that class that I saw the most stunning display of horsemanship I've seen in my life, before and since.
|Ludger and his young horse in the Prestige class.
|Ludger Beerbaum, in the FEI class.
Then for the FEI class, I'm pretty sure my jaw never left the floor. I'd never seen a horse jump that high before in real life, and it felt like it almost defied physics that they could get that high off the ground and come back down safely. Competitor after competitor went until we had a jump-off of three, one of whom was the hometown hero (and I'm so sorry, I can't remember his name.)
What happened next, during the jump-off, I'm still a little embarrassed about to this day.
|The winner...oops...
The hometown hero, (whose name I still cannot remember, I apologize) was the second to go in the jump-off. The first competitor had had a rail, so he needed to go clear. He had a breathtaking ride, both full of passion and technically correct. When he was finished, my section began cheering loudly (these are Italians, after all, they don't do anything quietly!) and suddenly I realized that we were the only ones cheering and the rest of the stands were groaning. My section wondered, what had happened? Then I moved to my left and realized that the actual final jump was set up in such a way that it was behind a metal support beam and impossible for my section to have seen or realized. It's quite likely that our cheering at the second to last fence caused him and his horse to lose concentration and take a rail on the last fence. The third rider ended up going clear and winning the competition.
It was only one of three horse experiences I had in Italy, but the mark it left on my equestrian personality is the most indelible. There is no forgetting an experience like Fiera Cavalli and the FEI Verona World Cup Qualifier.

Record Keeping: How long must records be retained for: Avoidance
Although the law sets out the periods for which a person must retain their records, we can specify a shorter retention period. You will find more detail in CH14800 for direct taxes and CH15300 for VAT.
A shorter retention period must not be specified in any circumstances in which you suspect that avoidance is involved. To do so would be against HMRC's anti-avoidance strategy.

THREE-time Super Bowl champion quarterback and Fox analyst Troy Aikman, who watched the Bears rout Brett Favre and the Packers, 35-7, Dec. 23 in the wind and cold at Soldier Field, tells The Post today how the Giants can beat the Packers in Sunday's NFC Championship game in Green Bay.
Asked if the Giants were built to win this game, Aikman said: "I think in a lot of ways they are.
"I think from an offensive standpoint, they are a team that wants to run the football – they've always been that. It's not like you're taking the 2000 St. Louis Rams and asking: 'Can you play in these conditions?' It's not like the Giants are a dome team either. They've maybe practiced outside more in recent weeks than the Packers have. They've got a big, punishing back in Brandon Jacobs. Now they've got Ahmad Bradshaw, who I've been thoroughly impressed with.
"I don't think you look at this game and think it's any more daunting of a task for New York than it was for them to come into Dallas and beat Dallas. I absolutely think they have a chance."
Favre has a 43-5 record when the temperature is 34 degrees or below, but as great as he is, he is not immune to careless decisions in the postseason. Aikman was impressed with how the Giants pass rushers got after Tony Romo, and it was not lost on him what the Cowboys did to Favre on Nov. 29 in Dallas.
"The Dallas game this year was one of the few times this season he's been a little reckless with the football," Aikman said. "He's been much more cautious with his throws and decision-making this year than he's ever been."
Aikman admired how a depleted Giants secondary dug in against the Cowboys, but he also knows Big Blue will once again need a Lawrence Taylor-esque pass rush from Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck & Co. if weather conditions allow Favre to throw to his dangerous receivers. And an early lead would be of immense help in that regard because it would place even more burden on Favre.
"A heavy pass rush, combined with playing from a deficit, would increase the likelihood of making some errant decisions," Aikman said.
Eli Manning, on the other hand, has thrown eight TD passes with one INT over his last three games, and no picks in the playoffs.
"He's done a good job of balancing being smart with the football and yet, not being so cautious with the football that you don't allow your guys to make plays," Aikman said. "That ball he threw to [tight end] Kevin Boss before the half [in Dallas] was a great throw by anybody's standards. He put it on the money. I think he's done a good job of playing within the framework of the games as they've unfolded, which I think is a real key to playing the position."
Aikman understands better than most that when your quarterback is playing with confidence, it fuels everybody's confidence around him.
"After that New England game ended, I said to myself, 'This team just got better,'" Aikman said. "To me, you either get better or you get worse. If that's true, I thought their offense got better and I thought Eli was better, and he has carried that through the playoffs."
Asked about the notion that the cold would seem to favor Favre over Manning, Aikman said: "If you're talking about just in terms of throwing the football, I think you would have said the same thing about Dallas going into that game, too."
Aikman's call for a low-scoring game is contingent on current weather forecasts that call for kickoff temperatures around 4 degrees with an 10 mph WNW wind that will gust to 15 mph. Inside Lambeau, it will feel like minus-10.
"Anytime you have a low-scoring game like that, then the mistakes become that much more magnified because the game gets shorter," Aikman said.
Aikman thinks if Jacobs and Bradshaw run the ball more effectively than Ryan Grant, the Packers could be in for a long day.
"I'd say [defensive tackle] Fred Robbins is probably going to be a key," Aikman said. "If the weather's fine, then I've gotta believe those pass rushers – Justin Tuck, Umenyiora, Strahan – become huge, as they have been all season."
Aikman also thinks the Giants special teams and kicking games could be instrumental.
"I think [punter] Jeff Feagles becomes an important element of this for New York, and [emerging kickoff returner] Domenik Hixon," Aikman said.
Aikman was asked if the mystique of Lambeau Field means anything.
"Normally, I would say it does," he said. "Two things would keep me from saying that now: The Packers have lost a couple of playoff games in recent times, and then that, combined with how just how good the Giants have been on the road."
Sounds Super.
"They came into Dallas and beat Dallas in a playoff game on the road … so do I think they can then go to Lambeau and beat Green Bay in a playoff game?" Aikman said. "Sure, I think they can do it. I'm not going to be surprised one bit by whatever the outcome is."

|Data Handling
ICT Control
Computer Control is one of the areas of ICT unique to the subject. Some areas, such as Data Handling, offer clear cross-curricular links, but, if you're timetabled to teach Control, you could be on your own. Don't worry; this page contains links to resources to help you put together a truely unique scheme of work for this tricky topic.
Computer Control
BBC Microbit
|The Microbit has launched, and there are lots of exciting possiblities for these little guys, at least for the 2016 cohort! This is the link to the website containing the excellent online editors and emulators, as well as support videos and tutorials.
|Image Design Grids for the Microbit
|The Microbit has launched, and there are lots of exciting possiblities for these little guys, at least for the 2016 cohort! This is the link to the excellent online emulator. So, if you don't have a Microbit to hand, you can still see what all the fuss is about!
Raspberry Pi
|The Raspberry Pi is a must have for all students wanting to learn about computers. Good IT departments can offer great opportunities with or without purchasing RPis, and this section will help you do just that.
|Follow this link for information about the RaspberryPi.
|RaspberryPi downloads
|From this page, you can download the OS for your Pi. The recommended is Linux Raspian "NOOBS", but there is a RISCOS option if you want to offer this great British OS. This is particularly useful if you choose to program in BBC BASIC (see below).
|Game Plan
|A simple proforma for outlining a computer game design.
|Level Design Sheets
|A set of sheets onto which pupils can design the visuals for their computer game.
HTML and Javascript
|Archery Styles:
CSS Coding
|This downloadable .zip archive contains an HTML page and associated CSS Stylesheet. The objective is to give students the opportunity to edit a working Stylesheet while they are learning to code websites.
The page shows an archer who has repeatedly missed the target. Using the Stylesheet, students alter the 'top' and 'left' coordinates in order to direct the arrows to the target.
Text Adventures
|Back in the day, techy kids enjoyed text adventures. They support development of imagination, reading and logical and analytical thinking. This section contains adventures for use in the classroom. Developed as an experiment for what can be done using HTML5, they may be useful in Literacy or coding lessons.
|The Key Adventure
|Not a particularly original first adventure, and very short indeed, this reintroduces the concept of the Text Adventure and demonstrates the basic format.
Scratch & Python
|Scratch programming
|Scratch is bundled with the RaspberryPi, but is available for other platforms (including Windows of course). It offers an intuitive interface and the ability to create complex programs without the need for learning a text-based language - perfect for KS2.
|Scratch Tutorials.
|Scratch and Python are common programming platforms - essential for the budding Raspberry Pi enthusiast. This book from Dorling Kindersley comes highly recommended with everything you need to create fantastic programs on these platforms.
|Stencyl is like Scratch's older brother. A grown-up programming interface using blocks familiar to the experienced Scratch coder. However, this model offers the ability to compile apps for a variety of devices (license permitting). Probably more suited to KS3 and above, but some able and experienced Y6s could do well with Stencyl. Supported platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux.
|A fantastic piece of software for teaching control, using flow diagrams. No problems with tangled wires and flat batteries, it all takes place on the computer screen. There are dozens of 'Mimics' enabling pupils to control Robots, to washing machines, to lifts and bridges. Follow this link to the application and more mimics.
|Once you've made your Flowol program, why not link your work to your DT topic and build the model? The FlowGo interface enables you to upload your program and plug it into your model!
|If you want to teach 'real' programming, BBC Basic is still a really great option. An intuitive language and one that allows students to create meaningful programs while learning the language step by step. A perfect place to start for the young programmer, providing an excellent first step towards Java and C++.
|BBC Basic for Windows
|BBC Basic is licensed and updated here. The purchasable interpreter has been updated to export .exe files and the updated language can access Windows APIs.
|A fully functioning BBC emulator. Bring the BBC back to life on your Windows desktop and teach real programming again.
|Robot Mesh
|Robot Mesh is a design studio from VEX that works through your browser. Design and create working robots, then program them using Python or Flowol (see above). Code can be downloaded to the VEX IQ for Real World Robotics.
|Logo is the definitive starting point when teaching computer control. A language in its own right, there are now dozens of applications surrounding the Logo technology.
|Logo List
|Follow this link to find a list of Logo applications.
|Terrapin Logo
|This is the original Logo software.
|The original Roamer Turtle from Valiant is still the best all round floor turle. Follow this link to find out more, or purchase from Valiant.
|Pro-Bot is the new floor turtle from Terrapin. Disguised as a racing car, the kids love it! A software package installed on the computer enables the whole class to join in.
|Collision is a rewrite of Crash from the BBC - the original Logo. Updated and with a screen designer. (RISCOS Shareware)
|Space Rescue!
|Our answer to Collision and Crash! Navigate your spacecraft to dock with a stricken vessel and rescue your crew.

We just started to see the flowers appear on the trees. It's really the only sign that Spring has sprung in Colorado. We get seasons here but Winter and Summer are the most noticeable seasons, Fall is short and only orange and spring is the 2 weeks that you can smell lilacs and see flowers on the trees (but only in Denver, there is no Spring in the mountains.) However, what comes with March and April in Colorado is the largest snow months of the year.
In recent years I haven't really minded the snow. I'm not in college nor do I work in downtown Denver so I don't really have to be out in the snow. And now that I work from home it really doesn't effect me. While the snow doesn't have a large effect on me, what does have an effect is Cabin Fever, and I get it bad! (like call an ambulance, this girl has a fever of 110). I'm a type A personality, I plan things to a T and have to be productive always. Sitting on the couch all day, or not changing out of my PJ's is not being productive in my book (at least for me personally, if that's you're thing, Rock on!)
So a snow storm that is promised to be hell means not leaving the house. Therefore, reading an entire book, working on some art projects and trying to distract your boyfriend while he works from home all seem like productive things to do, right? And yet by the end of the snow storm, I feel like I haven't done anything like my time relaxing and enjoying the things I love (art, reading and that cute boy with the glasses) were all just ways of wasting time.
I've always struggled with this feeling. Resting for me is never just resting. I have a hard time just sitting in front of the TV and not half-heartily trying to get something done. I love lists and checking things off of lists and feeling like my load is lighter even if I make up a load that puts weight on me.
Weekends of rest, of doing things you enjoy, catching up on movies or simply just being with the people you love, are all doing something. Quality time with humans, having a creative outlet and immersing yourself in a good story are all things that are good for the soul; that allows you to recharge and be better at life. Recharging is doing something. So these are the things I have to remember when I start going mad inside because I don't feel productive enough, or like I'm wasting what precious time I have. Just as I am letting go of buying things for the sake of buying things and instead spending money on experiences, I also need to let go of being productive for the sake of checking off random thing on my to-do list that don't really make a difference and instead see productivity as time spent with loved ones, in recharging and evaluating how happy I am. Because when it comes down to it, evaluating how happy you are in your life is really the key to anything you are doing.
So this week my goals are to have a simple to do list, with plenty of time to do "nothing" by catching up on movies, working on art, immersing myself in a good book, and staring at that really cute guy in the glasses!

'Hope the lads make a full recovery. Also quentin will be missed , thoughts with the reilly family at this time.' The accident happened midday on Saturday (August 18) on the Mullingar to Killucan road. All three were taken to hospital and Reilly, who is in his 20s, was pronounced dead at the Midland Regional Hospital in Tullamore later that afternoon.
Perrie Edwards revealed to We Love Pop: 'I was almost 17 before I had my first kiss. I was a late bloomer. Everyone used to call me 'virgin lips' as I'd never kissed anyone. I'd had loads of boyfriends but never kissed any of them. I used to get dumped a lot because of it. I was too scared I'd be like a washing machine.'

$3,595 + Airfare
Jul 11 – Jul 20
Session 3
|Finishing Grades:
7, 8
|Who can go on this trip?
Students from around the world!
|Places we visit:
Rome, Vatican City, Montalcino, Florence, Venice, Cinque Terre
|Optional group flight there:
New York (JFK) to Rome
|Optional group flight back:
Florence to New York (JFK)
For those younger teens looking for their first trip abroad without their parents, check out this taste of Italian culture to experience the best of Italy! Visit the charming city of Florence while tasting some of the best gelato and pizza, climbing the Duomo for incredible views, and catching a postcard perfect sunset over the city. Spend a day wandering the charming canals of Venice and swim in the crystal clear mediterranean in the Cinque Terre. Head to the Eternal City and step back in time to the days of ancient Rome while marveling at the Colosseum and exploring Vatican City. After ten days you will have truly experienced living "la bella vita"!
This program is perfectly paced for a younger age group. We have slowed down the itinerary to allow for a more relaxed experience to help younger teens adjust to the culture shock of being abroad. We only stay overnight in two cities (Rome and Florence) to minimize the amount of time we pack up and go. The other cities we visit on this program will all be day trips to allow these teens to experience everything Italy has to offer without the stress!
On this program you will:
- Learn about ancient history firsthand while going inside the Colosseum
- Explore the local neighborhoods of Rome in search of the best artisan pizza
- Visit the world's most famous church, St. Peter's Basilica
- Conquer our famous gelato tour – how many flavors can you handle?!
- Toss a coin over your shoulder into the Trevi Fountain to guarantee your return to Rome
- Watch the sunset over the incredible horizon of Florence from Piazzale Michelangelo
- Walk in the footsteps of da Vinci and Michelangelo
- Try your hand at making Italian chocolates
- Climb the Duomo for incredible views of Florence
- Ride a gondola along the canals of Venice
- Hike the famous trails of the Cinque Terre
- Splash through the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea
- Picnic along the Cinque Terre coast in some of the world's most beautiful villages
DAYS 2-5: Rome
Our program begins in the eternal city where we will explore some of the most famous sites in Italy. We will go inside the mighty Colosseum and get a vivid picture of what it was like when gladiators fought here. We will visit the Vatican Museums, stare in awe at the Sistine Chapel, and go inside St. Peter's Basilica. We'll hang out at the Spanish steps and see the Trevi Fountain lit up at night and toss a coin in for good luck and to wish for a quick return to this gorgeous city!
We'll say "ciao" to Rome and head towards Florence, but first, we will stop in the town of Montalcino, where we'll stroll the quaint cobblestoned streets of the quaint Tuscan hill town.
For those who choose, there will be an optional excursion to a private vineyard just outside the town of Montalcino to experience the stunning Tuscan countryside in real Italian fashion. This day is a TFT favorite! We have an exclusive invitation to a family's private Tuscan Estate. We will receive a hands-on tasty Italian cooking lesson using freshly harvested vegetables straight from their garden! Enjoy a special tour of the winery where they produce award-winning wine and receive an introduction to this important part of Italian culture.
Then we're off to Florence, the city most often referred to as an outdoor museum. Every turn in this beautiful city reveals a new statue, fountain or frescoe. In the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance we'll see Michelangelo's famous "David," climb to the top of The Duomo, and visit the Uffizi Museum, which houses the best collection of Italian Renaissance art in the world. However, art and culture are not all that are in store for us in Florence.
We'll shop in the city's famous markets and go to an exclusive event at one of the best leather shops in the city. We'll enjoy the best pizzeria in the city and challenging ourselves to go all the way on TFT's famous Gelato Tour! During our time in Florence we will take day trips out to both Venice and the Cinque Terre. In Venice we will have the chance to ride a gondola, wander the canals, and enjoy the overall relaxed atmosphere of this quaint city. In the Cinque Terre we will catch some sun at the beach, swim in the mediterranean and hike the trails that connect the tiny fishing villages dotting the cliffside of this region.
What kind of teen typically participates in this program? What are the requirements to join?
We have teens join this program from all over the world! They are typically culturally curious teens who are excited about making new friends, stepping out of their comfort zone, expanding their horizons, and trying something new.
This program is only for students who are currently finishing 7th and 8th grade and approximately 12-14 years old. Students living outside of the USA are welcome to join!
Our hotels are specifically chosen to be in safe areas and well-suited to facilitating group supervision. We stay in centrally located accommodations, usually within walking distance of the main attractions. This means we do not use large, impersonal chain hotels on the outskirts of cities. We prefer to select smaller, family run hotels where we establish personal relationships with the owners.
In Rome we'll be staying at an elegant two star hotel near the central Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore, close to both the Coliseum and the main train station. In Florence we stay in a three star hotel only minutes away from the Duomo.
For safety reasons, we do not publish the names of the accommodations we use. We do not feel it is safe to publish the name of a hotel where a group of teenagers is staying abroad. After registering, participants and parents are given access to our secure parent website where you will be able to see the names of all of the accommodations for a program.
Yes, in fact, over 75% of students who travel with us choose to come independently. This encourages teens to step further outside their comfort zone and make new friends. We believe that one of the most rewarding and exciting elements of travel is the new friendships that are formed along the way. If you travel by yourself, you are bound to make new friends from all over the country and even the world. The best part is, you can travel again with your new BFFs on another TFT program the next summer!
Absolutely! We just ask that if you come with a friend, you and your friend(s) are still open to meeting new people and sharing this special experience with the entire group.
As a program tailored to younger teens, students will love the quiet pace of this Italian adventure where they will see the famous sights of Italy, have the best food of their life and make unforgettable memories with lifelong friends.
An exclusive invitation to a Tuscan villa and winery tour, a private party at a famous leather shop at the San Lorenzo markets in Florence and an insider's guide to the best little-known neighborhoods of Rome are all yours on this program to immerse yourself in the best parts of Italy.
Ground transportation, accommodations, all breakfasts and dinners, chaperones and guides, program related activities, program related activity admissions, taxes and tips.
Not included (not intended to be an exhaustive list): Airfare, visas and visa application fees, beverages other than filtered water at meals, activities and admissions not referenced in the itinerary or deemed not program related, such as movies, expenses incurred by the participant that are outside the program description, such as excess baggage fees and damage to hotels, expenses related to unforeseen circumstances, such as transportation strikes and natural disasters, as well as personal and medical expenses.
Upon registration, you will be contacted by our International Logistics Team to discuss this program's flight details. You are not required to take the group flight, although there are several advantages to doing so. The group flight is chaperoned by TFT staff, it offers an opportunity for the students to get to know each other before the program starts, and we get preferred group flight prices on programs that have group contracts (ask for details). Parents are responsible for arranging for participants to get to the group flight airport. Travel For Teens staff are at the airport, greet arriving participants, and help them get to where the rest of the group has assembled. For more information about Flights, visit our Flights page.
The Trip Director for every program is a seasoned teen travel professional with extensive TFT experience. Trip Directors often live or have lived and worked in the destination country. Extensive knowledge of the language and culture of the destination is crucial. Our Senior Counselors are experienced, responsible and fun-loving individuals who our participants can share experiences with and look to for guidance and support. At Travel for Teens we pride ourselves on our rigorous staff application process and the professionalism of our full time and summer staff.
It is the job of the counselors to keep the program fun and exciting, the learning and the laughter in good balance, and to oversee the safety of the participants. Minimum ratios are on average one staff member to every seven participants. Programs may also include one or two Junior Counselors, who are college students with a history of TFT travel, and one or more Counselors in Training (CIT's) with limited responsibility. CIT's are not counted in staff-participant ratios.
All of our staff members attend a week-long training session prepare for the upcoming summer and go over safety precautions and protocols. Likewise, every counselor is CPR/First Aid certified and Trip Directors are Lifeguard certified. All staff undergo a rigorous interview process and thorough background check.
Group size is important! A smaller group size provides unique opportunities that a large group cannot accommodate. Think of your favorite local restaurant; could it easily accommodate a group of 50 teens? Probably not! Our group sizes average between 14 to 21 students, which means that we are able to comfortably use local transport, enjoy local restaurants, and have a more authentic experience overall! A smaller group size also eliminates the likelihood of cliques, meaning that our groups all tend to bond as a cohesive unit. We guarantee that you'll have enough people to meet some new best friends, but not so many that you feel like "just a number" or lost in a crowd.
Most of our programs are designed specifically so that participants can combine them with other programs. If you are connecting to another program, your counselor will escort you to the airport on the last day of the program and help you get to your next destination where you will meet up with your new counselors and group.
In a word – delicious! At TFT, we believe food should be an integral part of the travel experience and always make an effort to eat at authentic establishments when we can. What better way to immerse yourself in the culture of a place than by sampling the local delicacies, and we encourage students to do so whenever possible! Just as we stay away from Americanized hotel chains, we try to avoid restaurants with menus that cater only to tourists because every good traveler knows the best food is found wherever the locals are eating!
In Italy we will enjoy fresh, simple ingredients, homemade pasta, a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and of course, pizza! We always eat at authentic and local restaurants. Food is an important part of the culture so we prefer to allow our students to order off the menu so every meal is exactly what you want!
As always, we are willing and able to accommodate vegetarians, vegans, gluten allergies, and other dietary restrictions.
Our counselors are with the group almost always. Every day we will break up into smaller groups to give our participants some choices and flexibility in their itinerary. At our accommodations, students will have a good amount of free time to enjoy the facilities but will not be able to leave the grounds without one of our staff members. Our time in Rome, Venice, Florence, and Monterosso will be fairly regimented to maximize the activities we can enjoy during our time, however there will be some free time to go shopping in certain areas of the cities and safe pedestrian areas. Additionally, a lifeguard certified counselor will be supervising the students any time that they are involved in water activities.
Do I need any vaccinations for this program?
We recommend that you check with your family doctor regarding vaccinations and medical advice for the areas you will be visiting. For more information, please check out the World Health Organization's website www.who.int/en/. After you register, we will provide you with a list of vaccinations you should consider discussing with your child's family doctor.
If you are coming from somewhere outside the US, please be sure to check your country specific visa requirements.
Do I need to speak the language?
No, our skilled staff members will help you get around and even teach you a few fun phrases!
I first found this company when I was 17 years old. I went on my first trip to Italy with them and it was a life changing experience! It was clear from the first day that the gudies not only knew tons about this beautiful country, but that they really cared about the culture and place as well. The tours of the museums and monuments were engaging, accessable, and fun! Most days we would spend walking through the beautiful cobblestone streets from our always centrally located hotels to that day's activity. The trips found a good balance between educational activities such as museums and monuments and chill activities like swimming, shopping, and gelato eating!
I feel so lucky to have found this company. I have heard others stories of touristy bus trips that drive you to monuments and pile students into chain or cafeteria style restuants and stay in huge hotels far away from the town centers, and that thought makes me shudder when I think of the intimate first experience of Italy with Travel for Teens. I left Italy feeling completely satisfied with my experience, but wishing that the trip would just go on forever! I would HIGHLY reccomend these tours for any teen!
You have done a great job with planning so kids get lots of fun mixed in with culture. Great to see a shot of Jake smiling in the Ufizzi!
When I found this trip I was surprised that they make this trip for kids around 6th grade when I went. It was a great way to experience Europe and the people are great. And the counsellor a taught me a lot about Europe and small things that people probably never heard of. This trip is perfect for younger kids wanting to experience the world.
This trip is great! This was my second trip with travel for teens and is great for teens looking with being with people their own age. The leader knew a lot about what we looking at and doing. The places you stay on this trip are close to all the things you do and the food is amazing. The leaders are organized with our activities but value what you want to do and see. I would highly recommend this trip and Travel for Teens!

KIDAL, Mali (Reuters) - Mali's prime minister said his country was at war with Tuareg separatists after the rebels attacked a northern town he was visiting, killing soldiers and abducting around 30 civil servants.
Some shooting had already broken out before Prime Minister Moussa Mara arrival in Kidal early on Saturday and he was forced to take shelter in an army base as rebel fighters attacked and seized the regional governor's office.
Clashes continued throughout the day with sporadic shooting eventually easing during the night.
"In light of this declaration of war, the Republic of Mali is henceforth at war," Mara told a Reuters reporter inside the base overnight.
"We are going to formulate the appropriate response to the situation," added the prime minister, who was visiting Kidal for the first time since his appointment last month to revive long-delayed talks with northern armed groups.
Mali, a former French colony, was thrown into turmoil in 2012 when al Qaeda-linked Islamists took advantage of a Tuareg-led rebellion and seized control of the country's north.
A French-led military operation, known as Serval, drove back the Islamists last year but now the Mali government's focus has turned back to the Tuareg rebels.
A spokesman for the MNLA rebel group claimed control of the town of Kidal on Sunday. During the day Mara moved on from Kidal to another northern town, Gao.
At least one soldier was killed and 23 others were wounded in the clashes which now threaten to sink efforts to find a peaceful solution to long cycle of rebellions in the West African nation's desert north.
MINUSMA, a nearly 13,000-strong United Nations peace-keeping mission, is rolling out but is not yet at full strength.
Mara poured criticism on both the French and U.N. forces for allowing the attack to take place.
"You were witnesses today to the more than passiveness of these forces," he said. "The very least we'd expected from MINUSMA and Serval was that they'd ensure the governor's office wasn't attacked."
A U.N. spokesman on Sunday declined to comment on the events in Kidal.
A Malian military source said Saturday's gun battle erupted after MNLA fighters aboard two pick-up trucks attacked an army checkpoint in front of the governor's office.
A Reuters journalist travelling with Mara saw the body of one dead soldier, which was brought to the Malian army base where the prime minister was forced to spend the night.
A MNLA official claimed at least eight Malian soldiers had been killed in Saturday's violence.
The region's governor Adama Kamissoko told Reuters on Sunday that three of the worst injured soldiers had been evacuated by helicopter. He said MNLA fighters had kidnapped the civil servants, who had gathered at the governor's office ahead of a meeting with the prime minister.
A spokesman for the MNLA said the army attacked first, opening fire on the group's barracks following pro-independence protests in the town. He said that the rebels were controlling key locations in Kidal on Sunday.
"We've taken about 40 prisoners, including high-ranking military officers and civil servants. They're all safe and sound and doing well," Attaye Ag Mohamed told Reuters by telephone from the town.
He said Mali's United Nations peacekeeping mission had called for a ceasefire and there had been no fighting on Sunday.
"The town is completely secured by us...The army are back inside their base. If they attack us, however, we'll fight back," he said.

.NET tutorial
After downloading the library, your can use the Snappy namespace:
using Snappy;
You will gain access to low-level
SnappyCodec API that provides block-level compression.
Snappy.NET additionally contains
SnappyStream that implements streaming API for streams of unbounded size.
SnappyCodec class provides you with a pair of simple compression/uncompression methods:
public static byte[] Compress(byte[] input); public static byte[] Uncompress(byte[] input);
It cannot be simpler than that. If you would like to squeeze out the last bit of performance, there are corresponding two no-copy methods along with methods for estimating output buffer size. Explore the documentation via IntelliSense or by peeking into SnappyCodec class.
SnappyStream class is very similar to
GZipStream class in .NET Framework.
Note that
SnappyStream creates output incompatible with
SnappyCodec is for compressing fixed-size blocks,
SnappyStream is intended for unbounded streams.
SnappyStream is however compatible with other implementations of Snappy framing specification.
You can create Snappy-compressed file like this:
using (var file = File.OpenWrite("mydata.sz")) using (var compressor = new SnappyStream(file, CompressionMode.Compress)) using (var writer = new StreamWriter(compressor)) writer.WriteLine("Hello World!");
Decompression is similarly easy:
using (var file = File.OpenRead("mydata.sz")) using (var decoder = new SnappyStream(file, CompressionMode.Decompress)) using (var reader = new StreamReader(decoder)) Console.Write(reader.ReadToEnd());
If you are on .NET 4.5,
SnappyStream provides you with async variants of all I/O methods.
If you would like to do advanced stream manipulation, you can use SnappyFrame class.

Hello, I'm Kurts Adams, Elite Canoe Slalom Athlete and I'm always looking out how to improve my performance.
On this website you will be able to find anything regarding to my canoe slalom career as well as answering the questions you have for me. I made this website/blog together with my YouTube channel which you can find here! On here you will be able to find more in-depth things regarding to me. One of the examples is psychology and the mind. I choose to write about psychology rather than vlog about it just because things can get a little complicated and you would have to keep rewinding. However, if it's in a text form, you can read at your own pace.
On the other hand, YouTube will be more for showing what my life really is. What it's like to balance school work with intense training etc. I find that when you vlog/video something it's a lot easier to connect with the audience. Because I have only just started posting blogs and vlogs, my aim right now will be to upload and publish at least one vlog and one blog a week. Then seeing how well that fits around my training, and maybe I can increase the frequency.
Finally, my social media accounts (just click on each one and it will take you straight to my accounts: Twitter – Facebook – Instagram). I am most active on Instagram and Twitter, so I highly recommend you to follow my Instagram and Twitter. If you want to be really amazing, you could like my Facebook Athlete Page. If you have any comments or questions, you can either email (email@example.com) me or drop me a DM on Social Media. On there I will post the best pictures and keep you guys up to date with my training!

March 15th to 29th, 2008 NUEVO VALLARTA (PARADISE VILLAGE MARINA) WITH VISIT FROM MARGARET & CATHERINE
The Puerto Vallarta pirate ship greets "Passat II" at the entrance to Nuevo Vallarta.
Why do Canadians love Mexico??? The "before" pictures. Taken by our guests Margaret and Catherine at their home in Prince George as they left.
Margaret and Sandra at the dock in Paradise Village Marina, part of a 5 star resort. The resort orientation includes a lecture by a trained seal.
Happy hour on the beach.
Dining out, happy hour at the yacht club and dining in.
Sandra in the surf and pools.
"Dangerous Curves Ahead?" Having four sons we were a bit worried about having a female teen aboard. Also, it is one of the few times in Barrie's life the females have outnumbered the males in residence. It turned out to be a great experience, with both Margaret and Catherine providing great company.

Withdrawing from the Paris agreement was one of the major campaign promises of Trump, who has previously called climate change a "hoax" and last week brushed aside pressure from U.S. allies during the G7 summit in Sicily to endorse the deal his predecessor Barack Obama worked passionately to achieve.
Before Trump even finished his full address, President Obama issued a statement opposing the withdrawal. And the final decision may not be entirely clear-cut: Aides were still deliberating on "caveats in the language", one official said. Scientists say Earth is likely to reach more unsafe levels of warming sooner as a result of the president's decision because America contributes so much to rising temperatures. Some of his aides have been searching for a middle ground in an effort to thread the needle between his base of supporters who oppose the deal for fear it will hamper US economic growth and those warning that a USA exit would deal a blow to the fight against global warming as well as to worldwide USA leadership. Thanks to fracking, the U.S.is no longer the world's number one importer of oil and gas; instead it's the world's number one producer.
The Paris pact obligates the U.S.to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 26 to 28 percent by 2025, compared to 2005 levels. In many ways, the result was a symbolic commitment calling for every country to work to address climate change, setting their own targets and working to meet them with their own policies. However, under the terms of the Paris deal, withdrawal can't begin until November 2019, three years after the agreement took effect.
Pulling out of the Paris climate agreement may be President Trump's worst decision yet.
During his campaign, Trump vowed to "cancel" USA participation in the deal.
Mr Trump will also say he hopes to seek "a better deal". It frontloads costs on the American people to the detriment of our economy and job growth while extracting meaningless commitments from the world's top global emitters, like China.
President Donald Trump is due to announce the United States' withdrawal from the pact, which took almost two decades of often-acrimonious bartering and much give-and-take to conclude.
Hundreds of high-profile businesses have spoken out in favor of the deal, including Apple, Google and Walmart.
All implementation of the non-binding portions of the agreement will cease to be enforced by the United States, he said.
Here's a guide to what's in the Paris agreement, what's going on with global warming, and what might happen if the rest of the world keeps fighting man-made climate change and the USA stays partially or completely on the sidelines.
Without mentioning the U.S. specifically, Mr Li said that "China in recent years has stayed true to its commitment", and pointed out that it was one of the first countries to ratify the 2015 Paris Agreement. Trump's decision marked "a sad day for the global community", said Miguel Arias Canete, climate action commissioner for the European Union. Giving signatories voluntary responsibility without punishing member nations that didn't hit their goals is a "path to failure", Nicaragua's delegate to Paris said in 2015.
Trump is getting conflicting advice from various quarters of the administration.
Ultimately, Trump sided with the hardliners within his Administration, including chief strategist Steve Bannon and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt, who insisted that withdraw would further his domestic agenda and rally his base.
During the campaign, Trump criticized the environmental accord signed by almost 200 nations in Paris in 2015, saying it would cause job losses in the U.S.
The official insisted on anonymity in order to discuss the decision before the official announcement.
Opponents of the move say it threatens to isolate the United States in a global effort to curb the warming of the planet, and leave an opening for countries like China to fill the leadership void.
Scientists say that Earth is likely to reach more unsafe levels of warming sooner if the US retreats from its pledge because America contributes so much to rising temperatures.

Papers just published confirm that Conservative-run South Gloucestershire Council intends to press ahead with large-scale cuts to the number of staffed hours at the district's libraries.
After a backlash last year against initial proposals to reduce the opening hours completely, the council ran a public consultation last autumn on introducing a modified 'Open Plus' system which would see access controlled by swipe card technology for much of the week.
74% of the consultation's respondents said that the council should not cut staffed hours and, significantly, "there was a reoccurring feeling amongst many that the outcome of this consultation had already been decided and was inevitable; that nothing consultees said could change the mind of those who make the decision".
Labour councillors have argued that the Open Plus technology should not be used as a justification for slashing staffed hours, and have echoed the public's concerns about safety and fair access at those times when the libraries are not staffed.
The proposals being put to the vote next Wednesday (29th) to proceed with Open Plus still cut staffed hours by 30% district-wide. However, they now exempt Hanham Library from the new system on the grounds of "fire risk".
Councillor Ian Boulton, Labour's Lead on community services, says:
"The Tory chair of the Environment & Communities Committee is presumably very disappointed that the library in her ward is not being put forward for 'Open Plus' technology given that she has consistently argued that this is a great system. Of course she has failed to convince her constituents of its merits, as Hanham probably has the most vocal campaign group in the district opposing the plans."
Councillor Roger Hutchinson, Labour's Deputy Lead on community services, adds:
"New technologies that deliver an addition to the current service are welcome, but they should not be used as a cover to cut the existing and much-valued library staff. We have received briefings on how this swipe-card system works in other countries and it is clear that it has been used to enhance rather than replace the existing services."

NOTE – The future library proposals are online at https://council.southglos.gov.uk/documents/s81565/libraries.a1.pdf

Rocker Gavin Rossdale's wife Gwen Stefani revealed she was pregnant with their third child in an email.
Before the birth of son, Apollo Bowie Flynn, in February (14), the music supercouple was already parents to Kingston, seven, and Zuma, five, so it came as a surprise to the Bush frontman that they were going to add another member to their family, especially when he thought they were done.
In an interview with shock jock Howard Stern on his radio show on Tuesday, (09Sep14), Rossdale reveals he found out the shocking news from his wife via email.
He explained, "I got this email on the road, from Gwen, and the title was in capitals, 'LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME NOW.' I was like, 'What is this?' My blood pressure went through the roof. And I opened the email, and it was the pregnancy stick.'"
Rossdale even admitted he knew exactly when little Apollo was conceived, and added, "I wasn't home that often, but I did go home for Father's Day (Jun13), and that gives Father's Day a new meaning."
