Article Text
Background/aims Associations between retinal vein occlusion (RVO) and subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD) or mortality have not been evaluated in a recent cohort, after novel therapeutic options have increased referrals for treatment of the condition. We aimed to evaluate overall and subtype-stratified risk of CVD and all-cause mortality following RVO and assess any alterations after the introduction of angiostatic therapy in Denmark in 2011.
Methods This nationwide, registry-based cohort study from 1998 to 2018 evaluated 4 194 781 individuals. Hazard ratios (HRs) were reported for RVO as an overall measure and subclassified as branch and central RVO.
Results Patients with RVO (n=15 665) were median 71.8 years old at the time of exposure and 50.7% were women. RVO associated with incident CVD (adjusted HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.09 to 1.17) but not mortality (adjusted HR 1.01, 95% CI 0.98 to 1.03). Almost similar risks of CVD were found for patients with branch and central RVO (adjusted HRs 1.14, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.25, and 1.12, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.25, respectively), but only patients with central RVO exhibited increased mortality (adjusted HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.26). Mortality was higher for patients diagnosed after 2011 (adjusted HRs 1.11, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.16 vs 0.97, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.00).
Conclusion In a cohort of the Danish population aged 40 years or more, patients with RVO had a 13% increased risk of incident CVD compared with unexposed individuals. Mortality was increased after 2011, when intravitreal angiostatic treatment was introduced and referral practices altered.

What is already known on this topic
Increased risk of different cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is well established and while most studies find no increased risk of mortality after RVO, results are inconsistent.
Introduction of intravitreal angiostatic treatment, almost a decade ago, altered referral practices for the treatment of patients, which makes previous findings of subsequent comorbidity and mortality inadequate.
What this study adds
In a nationwide cohort, our study finds an increased risk of CVDs in patients with RVO diagnosed after 2011.
All-cause mortality was increased in patients with RVO overall and in subgroups of branch and central RVO, when diagnosed after 2011, indicating a higher mortality risk than hitherto reported.
How this study might affect research, practice or policy
The cohort of today's patients with RVO might be in higher risk of CVD and mortality than previously described, encouraging clinicians to be continuously aware of cardiovascular evaluation of these patients.
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a sight-threatening retinal disease classified as branch and central retinal vein occlusion (BRVO and CRVO, respectively) according to anatomical location. The most frequently associated risk factors for RVO include arterial hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), hypercholesterolaemia, glaucoma, systemic inflammatory diseases and coagulability disorders.1
Previously, treatment of RVO included retinal photocoagulation for patients with neovascularisation and BRVO-induced macular oedema. In early 2011, intravitreal vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibition for macular oedema in RVO was approved in Europe2 3 and has largely replaced retinal photocoagulation in most European countries, including Denmark.
While previous studies have reported increased risk of CVD and in some cases increased mortality in patients with RVO,4 5 these may reflect a different population, as a substantial number of patients with RVO were not referred to hospitals at the time when treatment options were limited. Thus, a contemporary evaluation is important to investigate if the introduction of intravitreal VEGF inhibition and following changes in referral practices have altered risks of incident CVD or all-cause mortality.
In this Danish nationwide registry-based cohort study, we aimed to evaluate (1) the association between RVO and CVD and all-cause mortality, (2) any potential differences in risks between BRVO and CRVO and (3) to compare these associations in patients with RVO referred before and after 2011.
Data sources
This study was a nationwide, population-based, cohort study based on data from the Danish national registers. The Danish National Patient Registry (DNPR) contains information on all hospitalisations in Denmark since 1977 and outpatient contacts since 1995.6 Diagnoses have been coded according to the 8th and 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Data on prescriptions drugs were acquired from the Danish National Prescription registry.7 The Civil Registration System contains data on vital status, marital status and migration as well as the unique personal registration number, which allows for linkage between registries.8
Study population
The study population was identified, using the civil registration system, as individuals alive and living in Denmark and being or becoming 40 years of age between 1 January 1998 and 31 December 2017. Cohort entry date was 1 January 1998 or, for individuals becoming 40 years of age thereafter, the date of their 40th birthday. The cohort was followed until 31 December 2018.
Overall exposure was RVO, identified as individuals registered with any diagnostic code of RVO (online supplemental table 1) with the first diagnosis defining the date of exposure.
Supplemental material
Patients were subclassified according to anatomic location of RVO, when available. Individuals registered with both BRVO and CRVO were included in the overall RVO group. Individuals were excluded from the cohort if they had any record of RVO prior to their cohort entry date. To increase the specificity of the exposure, we only accepted those registered with a RVO diagnosis given at ophthalmology-associated hospital departments.
Principal outcomes were CVD and all-cause mortality. CVD was defined by diagnostic codes modified from Hvidberg et al.9 For secondary outcome analyses, CVD was subclassified as ischaemic CVD (acute myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke and peripheral arterial disease), non-ischaemic CVD (non-ischaemic heart failure, atrial fibrillation, non-ischaemic stroke and aortic disease) and venous diseases (deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism) (online supplemental table 1 for details). The date of the first registration was considered the date of CVD diagnosis.
We excluded individuals with any previous record of the outcome in question from each analysis.
Most of the included CVDs have been validated in the DNPR.10–16 Few positive predictive values have been recorded below 80%, including heart failure, peripheral arterial disease and stroke.10 14–16 Thus, we demanded that these should be given as primary diagnoses (ie, main reason for hospitalisation or outpatient contact) to increase validity.10 12 14 15
Lag-time period
We implemented a 90-day lag-time period from RVO exposure to incident CVD to account for undetected CVD, likely to have been present at the time of RVO. During the lag-time period, individuals experiencing a CVD event were censored the day prior to the event.
The selection of covariates was guided by a priori knowledge. Covariates included sex (male/female), age at entry (continuous), index year (1998–2017, continuous), marital status at entry (never married, married/cohabiting, widowed), Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) conditions as separate dichotomous variables (without diabetes mellitus and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)), arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia and COPD as a proxy for smoking. All comorbidities were defined by diagnostic codes (online supplemental table 1). In accordance with Hvidberg et al,9 arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidaemia were defined by diagnostic codes and/or prescription drugs. The comorbidity variables were adjusted for as binary (yes/no) variables at entry and as time-varying covariates during follow-up.
To characterise the population by demographic and baseline data, we presented median and quartiles (25% and 75% percentile) for continuous variables and counts and proportions for categorical variables. We reported CCI scores, as counts and percentages of distribution, calculated at study entry.17 18
We applied a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model to compare CVD hazards of individuals with RVO to those without RVO, estimating crude, semiadjusted and adjusted HRs with 95% CIs. RVO was included as a time-varying exposure, changing status from unexposed to exposed at first diagnosis of RVO. Number of days since date of origin (date the person turned 40 years of age) was used as the underlying timeline. Individuals were followed until a CVD, death, emigration or end of study period (31 December 2018), whichever occurred first. A semiadjusted model (sex and age at entry) and a fully adjusted model (sex, age at entry, index year, marital status at entry, CCI conditions, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension and COPD) were performed. Any CCI conditions that were an outcome of the given model were excluded as covariate.
We reported number of events, median time to event, median age at event, total risk time and event rates.
A test for interaction with sex and age revealed interaction for sex only, and sex-stratified results were reported (online supplemental table 5).
We performed separate subgroup analysis of BRVO and CRVO as exposures in multivariate models identical to the main analysis models.
We performed separate analyses for RVO exposure prior to and after 17 March 2011, the date of approval for VEGF inhibitory treatment for RVO in the European Union, and in subgroups of RVO exposure between 2011–2014 and 2015–2018.
Secondary analyses
To estimate if VEGF inhibitory treatment was an intermediary factor between RVO and the outcomes in question after 2011, we performed a separate fully adjusted model, and stratified patients with RVO according to anti-VEGF treatment (binary, yes/no). Anti-VEGF treatment was defined as any registration of the treatment procedure code in DNPR (ICD10 KCKD05B) prior to an outcome or end of follow-up.
All analyses were carried out using Stata V.17 (Stata, College Station, Texas, USA).
We identified 4 196 821 individuals being or becoming 40 years of age from 1 January 1998 to 31 December 2017. Of these, 2040 individuals had a record of RVO prior to entry date; thus, 4 194 781 unique individuals met our inclusion criteria and comprised the overall cohort (figure 1). In each analysis of CVD and the subgroups' ischaemic CVD, non-ischaemic CVD and venous diseases, we excluded 324 517; 235 832; 99 698 and 44 071 patients, respectively, due to record of one or more of the outcome diagnoses in question, prior to entry date. Median overall follow-up time was 15.5 years.
Evaluation of associations between RVO and CVD and all-cause mortality
Table 1 includes the baseline characteristics of all individuals, and individuals with and without RVO.
Exposed individuals were older at entry and more likely to be diagnosed with arterial hypertension, dyslipidaemia, diabetes mellitus and smoking-related disorders than individuals never exposed to RVO.
The distribution of sex and CCI scores was comparable between groups. Median age at RVO exposure was 71.8 years. After 2011, the mean number of registered patients per year with RVO almost doubled (table 1 and online supplemental figure 1).
RVO exposure was associated with increased risk of incident CVD (adjusted HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.09 to 1.17; figure 2 and online supplemental table 2). Similarly, risk of ischaemic CVD and non-ischaemic CVD was higher in those exposed to RVO, most evidently in non-ischaemic CVD (adjusted HR 1.23, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.33). We found no association with the risk of developing other venous diseases (adjusted HR 0.99, 95% CI 0.90 to 1.09).
Evaluation of associations between BRVO and CRVO subgroups and CVD and all-cause mortality
Table 2 includes the baseline characteristics of the BRVO and CRVO subgroups.
Individuals with BRVO were younger at entry, more likely to be women and less likely to be diagnosed with smoking-related disorders than individuals with CRVO. Distribution of CCI scores, arterial hypertension, dyslipidaemia and diabetes was comparable between groups. Median age at BRVO and CRVO exposure was 71.1 versus 73.0 years.
BRVO was associated with increased risk of CVD, ischaemic CVD and non-ischaemic CVD (adjusted HRs 1.14, 95% CI 1.03 to 1.25; 1.18, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.33; and 1.22, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.38, respectively; figure 2 and online supplemental table 2). The tendency was similar in CRVO (adjusted HRs 1.12, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.25; 1.12, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.28; and 1.16, 95% CI 1.00 to 1.35, respectively). We found no association between either BRVO or CRVO and the risk of other venous diseases (adjusted HR 0.99, 95% CI 0.78 to 1.28, and 0.91, 95% CI 0.69 to 1.20, respectively). In patients with CRVO, we found an increased risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 1.18, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.26), which was not found in BRVO (adjusted HR 1.06, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.14).
Evaluation of associations before and after 2011
RVO exposure both prior to and after 2011 (figure 3 and online supplemental table 3) was associated with CVD, ischaemic CVD and non-ischaemic CVD. However, risks increased after 2011, especially for CVD (adjusted HR 1.10, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.15 vs 1.19, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.28, respectively) and non-ischaemic CVD (adjusted HR 1.06, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.12 vs 1.24, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.33, respectively). There was an increased risk of all-cause mortality in persons with RVO referred after 2011 (adjusted HR before 2011: 0.97, 95% CI 0.94 to 1.00 vs after 2011: 1.11, 95% CI 1.06 to 1.16). We found no associations between RVO and venous diseases at any time.
In secondary analysis of patients with RVO stratified by VEGF inhibitory treatment, we found that 523 of 7281 (7.2%) referred to the hospital prior to 2011 received at least one VEGF inhibitory treatment prior to end of follow-up, as opposed to 4146 of 8384 (49.5%) referred after 2011. The VEGF-inhibitory-treated patients referred after 2011 had a more pronounced association with CVD compared with untreated patients (1.24, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.37 vs adjusted HR 1.15, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.27, respectively). On the contrary, in patients with RVO referred after 2011, treated patients had lower all-cause mortality than those not treated (adjusted HR 1.02, 95% CI 0.96 to 1.10 vs 1.19, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.26).
After 2011, BRVO was associated with increased risk of CVD, ischaemic CVD and non-ischaemic CVD (adjusted HRs 1.15, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.29; 1.18, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.35; and 1.22, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.38, respectively; figure 3 and online supplemental table 3), which were not apparent prior to 2011. CRVO and not BRVO exposure were associated with increased all-cause mortality prior to 2011 (adjusted HRs 1.27, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.41, and 0.94, 95% CI 0.82 to 1.09, respectively), but after 2011 both CRVO and BRVO exposure associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality (adjusted HRs 1.14, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.24 and 1.11, 95% CI 1.02 to 1.20, respectively). Evaluated in subgroups of RVO exposed from 2011 to 2014 and from 2015 to 2018 all increases in HRs were most pronounced in patients with RVO diagnosed from 2015 to 2018 (data not shown).
The rates of CVD and mortality outcomes as well as number of events, median time to event and median age at event for exposure groups and unexposed, where applicable, are reported in online supplemental table 4. These data are not directly comparable between groups due to the unmatched design of the study and the time-varying exposure used. In the overall RVO exposure group, a total of 2983 CVD events were recorded, corresponding to a rate of 49.9 per 1000 person-years at risk. Median time to CVD was 3.7 years and median age at CVD diagnosis was 77.3 years.
In this 20-year nationwide cohort study, patients with RVO had 13%–23% higher risks to develop overall, ischaemic and non-ischaemic CVD as compared with non-exposed controls. While overall all-cause mortality was not increased, risks were 18% higher in those with CRVO and 11% increased for patients diagnosed after 2011.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study evaluating the associations of RVO exposure on CVD and all-cause mortality in a large population-based cohort, including the most recent data on patients after introduction of anti-VEGF for RVO in Europe.
Evaluation of associations between RVO and CVD and all-cause mortality
Previous studies evaluated RVO as an overall exposure for CVD and found associations with ischaemic CVD,19–23 but not non-ischaemic CVD.23 24 This agrees with our findings of increased risk of ischaemic CVD, but we reported an increased risk of non-ischaemic CVD in RVO-exposed patients. This difference might be attributed to our design, with non-ischaemic CVD as a pooled outcome of several diagnoses, and perhaps to the amount of patients with RVO in our study being 10-fold that of the comparative studies, increasing the power to detect weaker associations.
Previous studies found no increased mortality in patients with RVO4 21 25 26 except for a study of Danish patients with CRVO reporting increased mortality risk,5 in line with our findings in the overall analysis and on RVO exposure prior to 2011.
Evaluation of associations between BRVO and CRVO subgroups on CVD and all-cause mortality
In patients with BRVO and CRVO (figure 2), we found almost similar results in CVD outcomes, though with a tendency to higher risks in patients with BRVO. We found increased risk of all-cause mortality in patients with CRVO that was not found in the BRVO group. Only few previous studies evaluated BRVO and CRVO subgroups separately. Increased risk of incident acute myocardial infarction in patients with RVO, with higher risk in patients with CRVO than BRVO have been reported in a Taiwanese population.27 Examining data prior to 2010 in Denmark revealed increased risk of congestive heart failure and ischaemic CVD 10 years after BRVO and CRVO.4 5 This resemble our findings of ischaemic and non-ischaemic disease, but contrary to our study they also reported an increased risk of peripheral vein disease after CRVO.5
Evaluation of associations before and after 2011
We found higher risk of CVD overall and non-ischemic CVD after 2011 and similar risks of ischaemic CVD and venous diseases when comparing patients with RVO referred prior to and after introduction of VEGF inhibitory treatment for RVO in Europe (figure 3). Interestingly, we found increased all-cause mortality in the RVO group after 2011 that were not previously apparent.
After 2011, the mean number of registered patients in the DNPR almost doubled (online supplemental figure 1). This reflects a group of patients with RVO who were not treated in hospitals prior to 2011 and, hence, have not been included in prior studies. These patients might have higher risk of CVD and mortality than the patients before 2011. If any detection bias of CVD is present, this may also play a role. However, it would not explain the higher mortality risk.
Another potential factor is the intravitreal treatment itself. VEGF inhibitors delivered intravitreally are reported to have systemic VEGF-suppressing effects.28 Meta-analyses of studies on VEGF exposure in patients with diabetic macular oedema and age-related macular degeneration have reported increased risks of CVD with increasing levels of VEGF.29 30 While safety of intravitreal VEGF inhibition has been established in large clinical trials of RVO2 3 31–33 and a recent meta-analysis,34 long-term, real-world data are important, as patients in clinical trials tend to be more healthy than non-study populations. In secondary analysis, of patients with RVO referred after 2011, we found that patients with anti-VEGF treatment had slightly higher risk of all CVD but lower risk of all-cause mortality than patients never treated with anti-VEGF. This implies that anti-VEGF might be an intermediary factor in the association between RVO and CVD, but changes in CVD and mortality risks persist when only examining patients with RVO not treated with anti-VEGF.
It is noteworthy that mortality risk after 2011 is higher in BRVO, but lower in CRVO. This empowers the interpretation that difference in mortality prior to and after 2011 was a result of changed referral practice and possibly difference in severity of comorbid conditions in patients, rather than the treatment itself, since both subgroups of RVO have been treated with anti-VEGF. It does, however, raise awareness of the fact that patients with BRVO might be in higher risk of mortality than hitherto presumed. It must be taken into consideration that the extent of anti-VEGF treatment in this patient group has a well-established effect on visual acuity outcomes affecting quality of life, underlining importance of receiving the treatment. Our study was not intended or designed to evaluate the direct influence of anti-VEGF treatment on outcomes, and further studies are warranted to quantify this possible relation.
Our study is strengthened by being a long-term, population-based cohort study using validated registries and recent data. It does, however, impose several limitations: First, we have ascertained RVO and CVD in the age group of 40 years and older and those attending hospital eye services and results might not apply outside this setting. Second, lifestyle, socioeconomic and genetic factors are not included in the registers and cannot be evaluated.
In conclusion, patients with RVO had an increased risk to develop overall, ischaemic and non-ischaemic CVD, but not venous disease, compared with non-RVO controls. While patients with RVO did not have an excess risk of mortality prior to 2011, this was found for those diagnosed after the change in referral practice for hospitals, when intravitreal angiostatic treatment was introduced. Studies are warranted, designed to further evaluate the potential causes for this difference.

OnePlus 5T Review
Update: Read our OnePlus 6 review!
2017 can be argued as the year of the trends: from stretched-out 18:9 displays to dual-camera implementations to facial recognition security, all adopted by many of the flagships released this year. And you know what else they adopted? This crazy idea of ultra-premium pricing around the neighborhood of $1,000.
However, there's a new phone that adopts all of these newfound qualities, and then some, but without the $1,000 price tag. Enter the OnePlus 5T: the latest high-end smartphone from the Chinese company. At first glance, it could be perceived as a minuscule update, coming only a few short months after the company's previous flagship – the OnePlus 5. But don't be fooled because if you look at the larger picture, it might astound you to know how the OnePlus 5T stacks up against the giants in the flagship space.
In the box:
- Dash Power Adapter
- Dash Type-C Cable
- Silicone protective case
- OnePlus decals
- Safety Information
- Users Guide
Being released so soon after the OnePlus 5 before it, it's no surprise that the OnePlus 5T doesn't deviate a whole lot from the design language that we're familiar with already. In fact, you could say that it's an exact facsimile, since it sports the same smooth metal construction and sloping edges. However, in order for it to fit a larger screen within only a marginally bigger footprint, its fingerprint sensor has been repositioned to the back – just a smidgen beneath the camera.
The construction of the phone feels solid, suggesting that it doesn't have the fragileness of all these glass-meets-metal phones. In an era where many flagships implement the latter construction, the all-metal design approach of the OnePlus 5T feels refreshing. And it is just as much of a good-looker as most of the other phones it's competing against. Generally speaking, it's a recycled design with a few minor changes to the recipe, but in a sea of metal-and-glass phones, this all-metal one still commands attention.
While the OnePlus 5T adopts many of the trends we spoke of earlier, there are two in particular it's missing. For starters, it lacks any sort of water resistance, which is something that many of today's flagships offer. In addition, sticking to an all-metal design means the 5T doesn't offer wireless charging. Nevertheless, OnePlus remains to be a proponent of the headphone jack, so we're grateful that it still sees and acknowledges its purpose.
Competing on the same playing field as many of its high-end rivals, the OnePlus 5T jumps on the 18:9 screen aspect ratio trend. In this case, OnePlus has thrown in a 6.01-inch 1080 x 2160 Full Optic AMOLED display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.
While the OnePlus 5T certainly makes for an impression with its all-screen looks and minimal bezels around its display, screen resolution is lower than what Quad HD displays, such as the one on the Galaxy Note 8 or the LG V30, deliver. On the other hand, the pixel density of 401ppi on the OnePlus 5T is respectable and more than plenty for normal usage, unless you're a die-hard mobile VR enthusiast.
Beyond resolution, this AMOLED panel runs cooler with its color temperature by default, evident in the bluish tint with the color white. However, this can be easily remedied by adjusting the calibration in the display settings.
Lastly, both its viewing angles and brightness output are decent, showing little distortion at wide angles and ample visibility outdoors with the sun present. AMOLEDs typically exhibit this vibrancy, but strangely here with the OnePlus 5T, there's a dullness to the way it looks. Overall, we're not entirely blown away by the display, seeing that there are plenty more out there that command attention, but we're at least content by what it delivers.
Interface and functionality
The beauty of OnePlus is its budding community, where users provide feedback based on their experience. This helps shape the handset's software, named Oxygen OS, both visually and functionally. Oxygen OS refines the core Android experience without throwing in unnecessary extras. There's zero bloatware too. The results in a clean interface – one that doesn't stray too far from stock Android.
Many of OxygenOS's features we're familiar with are still present: Reading Mode that filters out blue light, Expanded Screenshot that allows you to capture a screenshot of an entire vertical web site, a Gaming Do Not Disturb mode, and much more. With this latest version, however, they're including this useful Parallel Apps feature, which essentially clones an app so that you can run two accounts simultaneously. So far, the supported apps include things like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Skype. It's useful if you want to separate work from personal, and we hope that this feature will be extended to more apps.
For the most part, OxygenOS 4.7.2 suffices in delivering tangible experience that make operating a phone simple and intuitive. But there's an asterisk next to that because it's running on top of Android 7.1.1 Nougat at the moment instead of the latest 8.0 Oreo. For some folks, this might be a deal breaker, but like most flagships around, it's only a matter of time before an update arrives.
Face Unlock
Face Unlock
Face Unlock
Another trendy feature adopted by the OnePlus 5T is this advanced facial unlocking implementation. While the fingerprint sensor is undeniably swift with its response rate, this new face recognition feature adds another layer to the mix. From the looks of it, there doesn't seem to be any additional hardware in play here, so it's left to software and algorithms that are used to identify a face through the front-facing camera.
In our experience, Face Unlock worked really fast – a quick tap of the power button, with the phone being directly in front of us, is all it takes to unlock the OnePlus 5T almost instantly. And you know what? It even manages to work in the dark too! Though Face Unlock won't trigger if the phone is tilted even slightly. Its front-facing camera has to be aimed straight at the user for the feature to work.
Processor and performance
Just like its sibling from a few months back, the OnePlus 5T leverages the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoC. The base model is supported by a generous 6GB LPDDR4X RAM, while the other option boasts an even more monstrous 8GB of RAM. Is it overboard? Maybe, but it surely will turn spec-conscious individuals because of the unprecedented amounts. It's worth noting that the tallies are identical to the OnePlus 5, so while they're higher than most other phones, it's been done already.
Regardless, we can attest that the OnePlus 5T runs smoothly – as you'd expect from a phone of its caliber. Even though it exhibits a response we'd classify as smooth and quick, we wouldn't go far to say that it feels snappier in performance than the Google Pixel 2 XL, the gold standard amongst Android smartphones. Nonetheless, it's no slouch either, as it attains some considerable marks in the various processing and graphics benchmarking departments.
Available in either 64GB or 128GB capacities, the price difference of $60 between the two is far more comforting than what most other phones command. Expandable storage isn't an option.
OnePlus is no stranger when it comes to dual-camera implementations, having already established that with the OnePlus 5 from not too long ago. This time, however, they've changed one thing – the secondary camera, which is now a 20MP Sony IMX 376K sensor with an f/1.7 aperture. It's not a telephoto one like what's found with the OnePlus 5, but rather, it activates for low light shots and utilizes this Intelligent Pixel Technology that "combines" the sensor's individual pixels into groups of 4 and merges their data.
The whole thing smells a lot like HTC's UltraPixel concept, the main intent being to give the 5T a boost when taking low-light shots. Meanwhile, the primary camera is still based on the same 16MP Sony IMX 398 sensor, with an aperture of f/1.7. Naturally, the dual-camera system is also there for portrait shots – wherein subjects are isolated and the background is blurred out.
Image Quality
Having been spoiled by the splendid performance of the Google Pixel 2 XL's camera, we'd say that the quality here with the OnePlus 5T is fine at best, but definitely not something we'd classify as class-leading. Most situations are handled well by the OnePlus 5T's camera, producing sufficient details and slightly warmer toned colors – just as long as lighting is abundant. All told, its performance mirrors to what we saw previously in the OnePlus 5. It's good, but not great.
When photos are snapped under low light, they tend to exhibit a grainy tone and softer details, meaning that the secondary camera made specifically for such situations may not be as great as OnePlus wants us to believe. Using the dual-LED flash to combat those deficiencies tends to produce unwanted, unnatural colors – like the same greenish hues found with the OnePlus 5's performance.
As for the front-facing camera for selfies, it's capable of producing nice shots – though, the best results are found with natural lighting. When the lighting is plentiful, details come out extremely sharp, but indoors or shots taken under artificial lighting, shots tend to become softer in tone.
Portrait Mode
Even with the dual-camera implementation, the OnePlus 5T's portrait shots aren't entirely the most reliable. Not only do you have to be mindful about the distance, since it'll only work when your subject is within a certain proximity from the camera, but you also need to ensure there's enough lighting in the scene.
After experiencing first-hand how the Google Pixel 2 XL is able to deliver amazing portrait shots using only a single camera, the performance here out of the OnePlus 5T's dual-camera setup isn't as convincing. Frankly, its performance is a toss-up because sometimes it nicely identifies and separates background elements from the subject. And in other times, it does a poor job of it – especially under low-light situations.
Video Quality
The OnePlus 5T is capable of shooting video in 720p at 30 FPS, 1080p at both 30 and 60 FPS, and 4K at 30 FPS. Equally so, we're not particularly sold by its video capturing performance either. Sure, it does nicely for most occasions, but there's some evidence of noise and graininess even with video shot under ideal conditions, not to mention the distracting jello effect introduced by the image stabilization algorithms.
Speaking of which, since the OnePlus 5T lacks OIS, it instead relies on its Electronic Image Stabilization to stabilize footage. It does nicely to combat against minor shakes, but it's not effective when there's just an intense amount of movement. In particular, it exhibits this somewhat robotic movement. As for its quality, you're naturally going to achieve the best results shooting in 4K, but 1080p quality isn't bad either.
Oddly enough, it seems as though that the EIS might be causing a little bit of havoc when recording video under low light. Not only are we greeted to significantly softer-toned footage, but the EIS seems to be affecting the camera's focus – resulting in this jarring appearance with videos. It's undeniably distracting, which makes us less likely to shoot with it.
The display's 18:9 screen aspect ratio makes the OnePlus 5T ideal for watching those new movies and TV shows recorded specifically in these proportions. Most YouTube videos, however, are shot in a ratio of 16 by 9, so if you choose to fill out the entire screen by pinch zooming, you'll be effectively cropping out a portion of the frame. It is also worth pointing out that the OnePlus 5T doesn't offer the same kind of HDR video support we find in other phones.
When it comes to music, we have to applaud OnePlus for continuing to believe in the importance of the headphone jack. Its presence here with the OnePlus 5T offers us the convenience of connecting our favorite pair of headphones, without having to worry about carrying an adapter or dongle of some kind.
If that's not enough for you, we're happy to report that the OnePlus 5T's single speaker, which is situated next to its USB Type-C port, delivers phenomenal audio filled with rich and robust tones. It's also extremely powerful with its output, easily capable of covering smaller, confined areas with its richness.
Call Quality
Having no major glaring issues, the OnePlus 5T gets the job done in the call quality department. The only hiccup to its performance stems with the slightly muffled toned voices heard through the earpiece. It's not terrible, but it just lacks depth and clarity. Thankfully, it's all smooth sailing for the speakerphone's performance and the other end of the line. Our callers mention having zero issues discerning our voice, even in noisy environments.
Battery Life
You'd think that OnePlus would include a battery of larger capacity this time around, especially being dealt with more real estate and a larger screen, but the 5T is still boasting a 3300 mAh battery cell – identical to the one in OnePlus 5 before it. Luckily, it doesn't seem like battery life is affected in a negative way, seeing that its performance is above average. Even though it doesn't break any records, we found the phone continuing to work well into a second day of normal usage.
Paired with the same Dash Charge technology as before, it's mentioned by the company to achieve a mark of 58% after charging for only 30 minutes. In our testing, it managed to get through 56% in that span of time, which is still more than respectable after clocking in at 93 minutes for a full charge.
Collectively speaking, there is nothing dramatically groundbreaking about the OnePlus 5T, which, instead of introducing novelties, adopts many of the trends we observed throughout the year. Despite that, there is a singular aspect about the phone that makes it one of the most compelling devices released in 2017 – its hard-to-beat price point of $499! Considering that the majority of ultra-premium phones hover closely to the $1,000 range, the cost of the OnePlus 5T is a remarkable defiance that shouldn't go unnoticed. Seriously, it matches most of its competitors in the specs department – all the while being a fraction of the cost! That's absolutely impressive on so many levels, making the OnePlus 5T a valiant offering if you're looking for that flagship-grade, top-bang-for-the-buck smartphone, but are on a tight budget.
However, as much as we're impressed by its low cost, The OnePlus 5T is not a surefire winner that can topple the greats in the high-end space right now – more so if you're willing to spend the extra money on getting a comparably spec'd smartphone without the compromises. Phones like the Google Pixel 2 XL, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, and LG V30 will cost you a whole lot more to pick up, but they do offer a lot more in terms of features over the OnePlus 5T. If you're able to overlook some of its deficiencies, however, namely its underwhelming camera performance, lack of wireless charging and absence of water resistance, the OnePlus 5T would be an excellent choice.

Here is a list of 5 free folder synchronization software. These software can be used by you to synchronize your folders and files in two different locations. These files kind of stay in touch with each other and any changes made at one location are updated at the other location automatically. Such a software can prove to be handy in a lot of situations. One such situation can be when you have to access a certain folder or file both at your home and office. They come with a handful of useful options that I have talked about through the course of this article.
Before beginning, the 5 free folder synchronization software mentioned in this article are File Synchronizer, FileMyster, Molten Synchro, Bamboo File Sync, and Synkron.
File Synchronizer:
The first free folder synchronization software that I have mentioned in this article is File Synchronizer. This is a very simple software that allows you to sync data between two folders. The software provides different options to sync data between two folders. You can either choose to simply sync all the data, or sync just the selected files. Depending on the option you choose, the software then compares and analyses both the folders and reflects the differences in a split pane view. It has some other options as well to choose from.
Read the full review here.
Try it out here.
Next free folder synchronization software is FileMyster. This is a useful software for both home and office use as it not only allows you to sync administrative data but, also lets you sync music folders and more. It lets you sync folders both automatically and manually, and you can select the files that you wish to sync. This synchronization process can also be scheduled by you and after every synchronization process, the software creates a detailed log. The software has some more features and options as well that you can read about here.
Get FilerMyster here.
Molten Synchro:
Third free folder synchronization software in this list is Molten Synchro. This software allows you to sync folders in real time and every time you make a change in a folder in one path, the other path will instantly and automatically update those changes. The synchronization process can be protected by password and is a very lightweight software to use (just 1.39 MB). Some other features of this software include its ability to let you create multiple tasks and add folder for each task. The only missing point in this otherwise handy software is that, it does not have the option of scheduling the synchronization process.
Read the full review here.
Try it out here.
Bamboo File Sync:
The fourth free folder synchronization software is Bamboo File Sync. This is a completely automatic software where you just have to give commands and sit back. The software synchronizes all your scattered files and also creates a backup for them, automatically. It updates all your synchronized folders in real time and creates a backup for them. You can also schedule your syncing and backing up process so that, it does not hinder your work. The software also has a Merge and Tidy up feature that merges all your files in different locations and cleans up some storage space.
Read the full review here.
Try it out here.
The fifth and final folder synchronization software in this list is Synkron. This is quite a user friendly software that has a lot of useful features. You can schedule your synchronization process, sync data between two different locations, select the data that you want to sync manually, and more. It allows you to create a blacklist wherein, you can add files or folders that you do not wish to sync. Synkron has one "Multisync" option that lets you back up data from multiple sources and save it to one targeted location. This is a very nice software that is even able to sync hidden folders and files.

Controversial former Queensland police commissioner Terry Lewis has broken his silence on widespread corruption in the force during his 11-year tenure.
Lewis, 97, maintains his innocence and says he has no remorse.
"I did everything I thought was possible, if I knew that was going on I would have done something," he told the Seven Network.
"So why would I apologise for something that I didn't (do)."
Mr Lewis was among the most high-profile victims of former judge Tony Fitzgerald's landmark 1987-89 inquiry.
During the Joh Bjelke-Petersen era, he "leapfrogged" numerous senior officers to become police commissioner.
But he was announced as a traitor to his oath after he was convicted of receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes.
In his interview with the Seven Network, Mr Lewis maintained he had no idea of the systematic corruption within the police force while he was commissioner.
"If I was part of it surely to goodness I would show some of the benefits of it," he said.
Mr Lewis said he was now living in a rented unit, paid by his eldest daughter and Centrelink.
"I have no other assets, I have no life insurance policies," he told the Seven Network.
"I have nothing, other than a small account with the police credit union.
"So if I got all that money I certainly haven't put it to good use."
In 1991, a Brisbane District Court jury found him guilty of 15 charges of corruption, perjury and forgery.
He was sentenced to 14 years jail, and paroled in 1998.

This is the update to my post about not being able to run my Haskell AWS Lambda function.
So, I think I figured it out. These are some of the various things I tried which didn't work:
Neither of these experiments fixed the problem.
What did seem to fix the problem, however, was… Wait for it…
… Increasing the amount of RAM in the Lambda function's environment. I increased the RAM from the default (128 MB) to 1 GB and I seem to have achieved reliable execution of my function.
I suppose this shouldn't have surprised me.

Storm helping storm victims
September 14, 2005
It's the worst natural disaster in our history. We know that. Thousands of people are displaced or dead. We know that, too.
But, what can we do to help? Most of us don't know that. Or, if we do, we just don't feel like doing it.
Only four Simpson students risked life and limb standing in the middle of traffic on U.S. Highway 65/69 last Tuesday to raise money for the Red Cross. Since then, that group has increased to two dozen volunteers and has raised more than $3,000 for Hurricane Katrina victims. Chris Waddle, chaplain and director of church relations, has gathered more than $650 for the United Methodist Community on Relief.
But the Simpson community could raise so much more.
Perhaps giving up your $20 weekend bar money isn't your top priority. But if you were a student in New Orleans, there wouldn't even be a bar to go to. Maybe sending a few hygienic items doesn't seem worth the effort, but it is – the refugees need anything they can get – even that stinky soap your grandma got you last Christmas.
While Simpson students enjoy a fairly nice life, there are students who don't have colleges to go to or even homes to return to. In some cases, students don't even know where their parents are.
The Simpsonian applauds the efforts some Simpson students are making to send relief down to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Contributing to the Red Cross and UMCOR are just a few of the ways support has been shown. Now it's time for the rest of us to step up.
Anything you can give helps – $1, $5, clothing, hygienic items, food or time – anything is better than what the refugees have now. Most Simpson students have never known the struggle or had to face the destruction the people of New Orleans are dealing with now. But if you did, a bottle of water or a pack of Ramen Noodles would look pretty good.
We are college students and money isn't unlimited, but think of others without any money. Simpson, though small and far away, can help. All it takes is a little effort and some heart.

Former independent counsel Ken Starr on Wednesday argued that there was a "fair concern" over whether special counsel Robert Mueller's redacted final report, set to be released Thursday, would be "fair and balanced."
In an interview on Fox News, Starr said "the concern, that I think is a fair concern," was: "Is the report going to be written in a fair and balanced way?"
Starr blamed Mueller's "choice of staff."
"So many questions have been raised about that staff and their leanings and so forth," he said, referring without naming him to President Donald Trump, and his characterization of Mueller's team of prosecutors as "angry Democrats."
Some on Mueller's team donated to Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign, though Mueller himself and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed him, are Republicans. Justice Department regulations would have prevented Mueller from considering his prosecutors' political leanings.
Mueller and his staff, Starr said, have "had the opportunity without any kind of cross examination — and kind of check, any kind of balance — to write whatever they want to write. And that, I think, legitimately raises concern of fairness and balance."
If Mueller had announced any new criminal charges in his final report, the accused would have their day in court. Because he didn't, according Attorney General Bill Barr's recent four-page summary of the report, people mentioned in the report must instead defend themselves in the court of public opinion, or, potentially, the impeachment process.
Starr's own prosecutorial staff as independent counsel included Democrats, though it was famously attacked as part of a "vast right-wing conspiracy" by then-first lady Hillary Clinton. One Republican name on Starr's team has only grown in stature since: Brett Kavanaugh.

Newlands Corner has been captivating its visitors with its undulating pastures, rugged hills and stunning views for decades.
The beauty spot holds wonderful memories for many Surrey residents and those from further a field.
An area of open chalk downland with plenty of woodlands for visitors to explore, it offers spectacular views across the Weald and is located just outside Albury and Shere villages.
According to author Derek Nightingale, who wrote 'Newlands Corner and its Environs', all of Merrow Downs, common land which links the open space at Pewley Down right up to Newlands Corner, was previously called 'Fairyland', a name that has since been forgotten by most.
In 1886, Guildford Golf Club, one of England's first golf courses, was constructed on 'Fairyland'.
The Merrow Downs had belonged to the Earl of Onslow until 1967 when Guildford Borough Council purchased the land and leased it to the golf club.
In 1926, Newlands Corner made national news when author Agatha Christie had an accident one December evening in 1926.
Her car ran off the road into a bush near a small quarry and was found abandoned the next day.
The novelist was missing for ten days- with hundreds of people searching Newlands for her, including Surrey Police.
It later transpired that Christie was safe after all and had been staying in a hotel in Harrogate during the whole charade.
Newlands was also the site of a racecourse from 1701 to 1870. Guildford Races were held annually every Whitsun week.
It is said that William III put winnings of 100 guineas up for the winner of the Whit Tuesday race,
The races ran until April 26 1870, and 16 years later the golf course opened on the same ground.
The beauty spot also hosted Newlands Corner Hotel, now called The Manor House Hotel, which was originally a Victorian country house built in 1892 by John St Loe Strachey. The hotel became a hospital during the First World War and with German zeppelin recorded as passing overhead on October 15 1915. Three bombs from the zeppelin were dropped close by near the river.
Newlands, now managed by Surrey Wildlife Trust (SWT), opened its countryside centre on May 29 1992.
However, many fear for the future of the spot with Surrey County Council and SWT expected to introduce parking charges as well as building a new visitor centre and shopping space.
More than 8,000 people have signed an online petition, calling on the council to 'Keep Newlands Corner family-friendly and free to access'.

Romance in Walt Disney World
I remember the very first time my husband and I went to Walt Disney World together. We were just engaged and it was his first trip ever to a Disney park. I was insanely nervous that he was not going to "get it." His first attraction was Spaceship Earth, and five minutes in he turned to me and said, "this is so cool!" From then on I never doubted his love for Disney World. We even honeymooned there! It is, without a doubt, my favorite place to spend time together. Sadly, my husband and I have not been to Disney World, just the two of us (cue Will Smith song) since our first anniversary trip in 2008. In a few months we are going to finally be getting away together for five days of romance and Disney magic.
My upcoming trip inspired me to write about things that I find romantic about Disney World. Keep in mind that my advice is pretty budget friendly. You do not need to spend a ton of money to have a fantastic time with your significant other. All you really need is a little creativity and time set aside in your vacation for some romance.
Photo Opportunities Around the World Showcase – I love this idea the most simply because it is 100% free. Anyone will tell you that Epcot's World Showcase is one of the most romantic places in all of Disney World. A great way to commemorate your "travels" is to ask a cast member or fellow guest to take a photo of you and your sweetie in each country. Order prints of the photos when you get home and put them in a frame or photo album. Surely you can trick someone into thinking you were actually in Paris!
Private Tequila Tasting – This one takes a little pre-planning but is absolutely worth it. My favorite bar in Disney World, La Cava del Tequila, offers a one-of-a-kind experience. If you contact them via their Twitter or Facebook page, they can set up a private tequila tasting for you, your loved one, and their Tequila Ambassador. Learn about how tequila is made and the importance of it in Mexican culture. If your only experience with tequila has been body shots at the local bar, you owe it to yourself to enjoy the educational and, yes, sensual experience of a private tequila tasting at the beautiful La Cava del Tequila. To find out what these tastings are like, read my review of the wonderful tasting I enjoyed back in January. Also, if you are looking for a romantic proposal idea, the folks at La Cava del Tequila can help you out. Think of a rose petal covered table at the twilit San Angel Inn with a talented mariachi band playing just for you, or maybe a lovely surprise engagement at La Hacienda de San Angel while enjoying Illuminations just outside of your window.
The Disney World Version of "Dinner and a Movie" – How about dinner at my personal favorite Disney restaurant, Jiko? It is quiet and intimate with a superb wine list. After that, a stroll outside of Animal Kingdom Lodge to look at the animals roam. Nothing says romance like nighttime binoculars! If exotic animals do not trip your trigger, try out dinner at one of Grand Floridian Resort's fancy restaurants followed by a walk on the beach to the Polynesian Resort. Lay in a hammock and enjoy watching Wishes from across the Seven Seas Lagoon. If a full dinner at a nice restaurant isn't in the cards for your pocketbook, just get appetizers and dessert! No one will judge you. I promise!
Magic Kingdom Resort Hopping – The resorts surrounding the Seven Seas Lagoon have some wonderful bars that everyone should experience for themselves. Start out at one and make your way around. No need to worry about drinking and driving because you can just use the monorail as your mode of transportation. Many of the bars have unique drinks made only at that location, so be sure to give those drinks a try. If you time it right, you'll be able to watch Wishes as you sip.
runDisney… Together – My husband and I started training for our very first race together during Disney World's Marathon Weekend. During our training, we have really worked on words of love and encouragement. We are looking forward to running through Epcot and then crossing the finish line together. Disney races are meant to be a fun experience and not all about winning. Almost anyone can train to run a 5K race. The only thing better than accomplishing something for yourself, is doing it with someone that you love.
My list just scrapes the surface of romantic Disney ideas. I would love to hear the things that you have come up with! Drop us a line in the comment section!

If you've never been to Joshua Tree National Park in Southern Cali – about a three-hour drive from La La Land – you really should get your cute butt there, asap.
For peeps who like hiking, rock climbing, camping, stargazing or taking selfies in front of amazing rust-coloured boulders, it's the ultimate pitstop. For those more fortunate than we, it can actually be home.
A movie producer and his wife, who live in LA, have commissioned a has-to-be-seen-to-be-believed house on a 90-acre block just outside the wilderness preserve, after falling in love with the area on a trip to Joshua Tree earlier this year.
Nicknamed the Joshua Tree Residence, the solar-powered beauty will actually be made up of white shipping containers that pop like nothing else against the red n' rocky backdrop.
Once complete, it'll feature three bedrooms – concrete floors, white walls, yummmm – a massive living room, kitchen, dining area and sprawling wooden deck that's at one with the rocky hillside.
The best bit? A hot tub, tucked away for maximum privacy and shelter from the desert's chilly evening winds.
"Each container is orientated to maximise views across the landscape, or to use the topography to provide privacy, depending on their individual use," says its London-based designer James Whitaker.
Check out these photo-realistic renderings of what it'll look like:
And get this: it'll be a holiday home, not a full-time residence. The good news is that might mean you get the chance to rent it on Airbnb in the future.
We can dream, right desert rats?

text: Tarot cards have been used since medieval times to foretell the fortunes of kings, generals, knights and nobles, to diagnose and treat ailments of the soul, for deep spiritual study, and as a tool of divination ideally suited to the pursuit of the science of love. Through exploration of the Universal laws governing human life on Earth, the tarot can give us a clear vision of the most likely outcome of our actions. It can illuminate the most probable future among many possibilities given our current subconscious drives, higher purpose and intent, our relationships with others and past actions which contribute to future outcomes. We offer Tarot readings to clients as a form of spiritual science, in the tradition of the Western Mystery Schools, for the highest good of all involved. Read about the Western mystery school tradition of Tarot as manifest in the Twenty-Two Trumps in Curtis' article Tarot: Yoga of the West.

What if the goal of writing documentation was not to accurately describe a system? How it works, how to use it, etc.
What if, instead, the goal was to describe how the system should work?
Surely, it can't be right to treat documentation like a fantasy novel. It does need to be factual.
And yet, if we write how the system should work, then analyze the gap between reality and this fantasy, we can go and plug that gap.
Or put another way, if one writes factual documentation, and struggles to make it easy to understand, it may be that the issue lies not in the doc, but in the thing being documented.
A similar idea is that your FAQ is your bug list. Why does this question need to be asked in the first place? Can't the system be sufficiently intuitive to side step the question completely?
In the end, it may be possible to document how the system should work and how it does work, though it may require some iteration(s) of tweaking the system itself to get there.

Barcelona will hope that the international break does not halt their momentum after winning their last three matches. They head to Eibar for what could be a tricky game against a team they could only draw within their last meeting but the visitors can come out on top if they take an early lead.
Ernesto Valverde's men will be confident of a win on the road in Saturday's early kick-off, but Eibar are unbeaten in their last four outings and could prove a tough nut to crack with the third-tightest defence in the country.
The absence of Pique could unsettle Barcelona's back-line enough for Eibar to grab a goal at home, but the star power of Messi, Suarez, and Griezmann up front and the quality of De Jong and Arthur in midfield should prove too much for the hosts to handle
Head to Head
History is not on Eibar's side in this fixture, with Barca winning nine of their 10 meetings and drawing the other game – though that 2-2 draw did come in their last meeting on the final day of last season.
Possible Line Ups
Eibar: Dmitrovic; De Blasis, Olivera, Arbilla, Bigas; Alvarez, Diop, Exposito; Orellana, Kike, Inui
Barcelona:Ter Stegen; Semedo, Todibo, Lenglet, Alba; De Jong, Vidal, Arthur; Messi, Suarez, Griezmann
Betting Tips
Barca are beginning to hit their stride and while Eibar should mount a stern defence, expect the Blaugrana to find a way through.

Promotional ad for children's nursery - animated virtual tour
BeBright Bunnies applies kinaesthetic learning techniques and includes creative thinking in their Early Years syllabus - to allow children to Play, Do and Learn. Over several years I have helped BeBright with affordable design and marketing support to build their brand, boost SEO, market their service and grow their childcare business.
This video was produced as a preview tour of their second nursery in south east London. A new purpose-built nursery at Dylon Works, Lower Sydenham. At the time, the building was still being constucted, so I analysed plans and built a 3D model of the inside and outside. I then animated the model, wrote a script and took potential customers on a virtual tour of the premises. The video advert was then uploaded to their Facebook Page and Early Years Youtube channel.
This virtual tour video was produced to acccompany their press release announcing the launch of new childcare in Sydenham.
The video-ad also highlights the convenient location of the nursery - between the bus stop and the train station - just a few stops from central London. The ad campaign has succesfully driven nursery bookings.
"The video is great and we love it and the music works really well. We know the importance of something like this to the marketing."

Paddle Tales: Sea Kayaking Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean
In this episode of Paddle Tales, we're heading to a place that's commonly referred to as 'The Land of Giants', because everything about the area is big and spectacular. It's a rugged and inspiring land that features a lake so big that it feels like an ocean. One of the longest and most dramatic fjords in the world and some of the best whitewater rivers that you'll find anywhere. In this episode of Paddle Tales we're exploring deep into the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region.
The Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region is located in the middle of Québec, and it's the third largest region of the province. With three national parks, and a marine park within its boundaries, it's no surprise that adventure tourism and nature are defining features. Of course, that's exactly why I'm excited to explore the place.
To kick things off I'm heading to the small and beautiful town of L'Anse-Saint-Jean, which sits nestled in the hollows of the mountains on the shores of the renowned Saguenay. Not only does L'Anse-Saint-Jean provide a great taste of the kicked-back, small town lifestyle of the area but it's an ideal spot to launch kayaks and explore the fjord so I head over to Fjord en Kayak, the premier kayak company in the area, there I meet up with one of their guides, Mathieu Boulanger-Messier who knows these waters as well as anyone. Sweet, the sun is shining. There's hardly any wind at all and we're in the Saguenay Fjord. This is gonna be good.
- [Ken] You gotta love exploring obviously in this region.
- [Mathieu] Yeah, you know it's my office here man
- [Ken] This is a heck of an office.
- [Mathieu] Yeah so I discover the place a lot and I paddle a lot in the Saguenay Fjord. So yeah, we are into the fjord here which is an amazing environment, because as you can see there's like mountains all along. It's like a huge canyon here filled with salt water and fresh water. Fresh water on the top and salt water on the bottom. And we can call it the fjord because we have salt water in it.
- [Ken] Gotcha. The definition of a fjord is that it has saltwater.
- [Mathieu] Yeah, exactly. And also we have one of the longest fjord in the world. Just a bit more than 100 kilometers long. So that's why we can do five days trip on this fjord. It's a very long fjord.
- [Ken] Well, I'm excited to be back here. It's been six years since I've been in the region. I loved it the first time and driving in here I remember why. This place is beautiful.
- [Mathieu] Yeah, it is, huh?
- [Ken] I feel like Kayak en Fjord's been doing this for a long time.
- [Mathieu] Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's about 23 years ago that they started the company.
- [Mathieu] Different kinds of trips. First of all we we do a short tour, 2-hour tour which is our busy tour. Also we do an entire day tour. So it's about 6 hours of paddling and also we also do expeditions. So we have two-days, three-days, and four-days expedition and we can also go up to five-days.
- [Ken] It's been an amazing summer touring around Québec and seeing some of the world's most stunning landscapes but one of the most enjoyable parts of the journey has been sharing that experience with people that are totally passionate about their region. Mathieu is another perfect example of someone who is truly stoked to share his backyard. The other great thing about Mathieu is that he considers a big part of the Saguenay fjord experience to be the food. I'm hungry and this looks good.
- [Mathieu] Yep, it is, huh? We always try to have good food because we believe in it and we always try to use local food as much as we can with our partners around the village. Bon appetit
- [Ken] So we're in a national park right now.
- [Mathieu] Yep, yeah we are, in fact we are in two national parks.
- [Ken] Oh really?
- [Mathieu] Yeah, because now we are at the beginning of the marine park, which is the Saguenay–St. Lawrence Marine Park. The park was created to protect the Beluga whales and also on each side of the fjord all the cliffs on each side are also protected by another national park which is the Parc national du Fjord-du-Saguenay.
- [Ken] Well, I'll tell you what, this cliff over here that area looks like one of those places you just have to go explore.
- [Mathieu] Yeah
- [Ken] Should we start over there?
- [Mathieu] Yeah, I think we need to go there.
- [Ken] Everywhere you look, doesn't matter which way you look, 360 degrees of awesome.
- [Mathieu) Yeah, It's been pristine, more that 75% of the territory is pristine and untouched.
- [Ken] And we got it all to ourselves right now.
It's easy to see why the region is often referred to as 'The Land of Giants'. Everything about this landscape is huge and there isn't a better way to get a real sense of the size, than paddling along the base of the cliffs. There're beautiful and impressive to look at from shore but looking up from below it's hard not to feel a little overwhelmed and a little insignificant. It's easy to imagine how glaciers sculpted the U-shaped valley over thousands and thousands of years but the scale of everything is mind-boggling. While kayaking has always been one of my favorite ways to explore a place, it has one obvious disadvantage. You just can't cover distance quickly. Considering that the fjord is over 60 miles long you need to have some serious time and a lot of ibuprofen in order to paddle the whole stretch. Unfortunately, I don't have the time and so I'm meeting up with Sophie Drolet, a captain for Voile Mercator, a company that offers sailing lessons and vacations through the Saguenay fjord.
Our mission is to reach the most famous and dramatic bay on the Saguenay River, La Baie-Eternite. Our trip starts slowly as the light winds push the boat through the waters slowly and smoothly. It's been over 20 years since I've sailed. So it's a good chance to get reacquainted with the workings of a sail boat. But it's not long before a weather system approaches.
As the wind picks up the sunny skies are replaced by thick clouds and a fine mist. Right away, the boat jumps to life. I've always been a huge fan of gravity-fueled sports or sports that use the power of Mother Nature. And so for me, that's the amazing thing about sailing. It gives you a real taste of Mother Nature's strength and an appreciation of the fact that she's in control. All we can do is learn to play with that power. And then, as if on cue, the wind dies down as we reach a narrow bay surrounded by the highest cliffs of the fjord. We reached La Baie-Eternite, otherwise known as Eternity Bay. The crowned jewel of Saguenay National Park. It's amazing how quickly the excitement of the run down the fjord is replaced by the calm of the bay.
It really is a magical place and the clouds and mists that hover around the mountains gives it all a surreal "Lord of the Rings" like feel. I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting this sailing trip to be one of the highlights of my summer and boy was I wrong. Following the Saguenay River upstream, we leave the fjord behind and make our way towards the Lac-Saint-Jean region. Lac-Saint-Jean is a huge lake with a number of vibrant communities around it. It also hosts some of the most beautiful rivers that you'll find anywhere which makes it an outdoor and whitewater paradise. To get my feet wet in some of the rapids, I'm meeting up with Shéril Gravel, co-founder of the Pink Water community, a nonprofit organization whose main objective is to encourage women to participate in whitewater activities.
- [Shéril] Today we are on the Riviere Aux Sable, the part of the river is called *unknown* and it's a very thin section to practice laps. This river is very accessible because it's in the middle of the town but you have many portions of other sections and river in Saguenay Saint-Jean. Very accessible also. We are very lucky to live here.
Seven years ago whitewater changed my life. It gave me a lot of confidence because you don't have control of water you have to respect the river. And then from the moment that you can do it well then you're so proud. It gives you a very good feeling. I was working in a rafting company during the summer and I was a safety kayaker. So, I was going down the river with girls that were very scared at the beginning of the day they were telling me no it's not possible. I cannot do it. I'm too scared. I was telling them I promise you that your nails they will be broken at the end of the day and maybe you will have mascara here, but you will have stars in your eyes and that's what I want to see. And I promise you that you will have a good time. And that you will be very proud of you after that. We started Pink Water in 2014. It's a movement to encourage girls to get into the whitewater community and the message that we want to send them is that it's possible for the girls also.
- [Ken] If there's one thing I've learned in all my years of whitewater kayaking it's that as amazing as it is to push your own limits there's nothing more personally satisfying than helping someone else reach their goals or push themselves do to something they never thought they could. I'm sure that's one of the things that made this day with Sheril so special. We both share that passion for pushing and inspiring others to try new things and take advantage of and take care of the incredible natural playgrounds that surround us.
Once again today is further proof that paddling is only partly about the places you go and the things you see. It's about the wonderful people you meet along the way.
