GoldenEye 007 is a 2010 first-person shooter video game developed by Eurocom and published by Activision for the Wii video game console,[1] with a handheld version for Nintendo DS developed by n-Space.[4] It is a modern reimagining of the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye, and a remake of the 1997 Nintendo 64 video game GoldenEye 007. The game was officially announced by Nintendo at their E3 2010 conference presentation.[5] The game was released on November 2, 2010 in tandem with another James Bond game, Blood Stone. It took on the elements of a modern shooter while retaining a classic name. A remastering of the Wii game was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles in 2011, re-titled as GoldenEye 007: Reloaded.
Although Pierce Brosnan starred as Bond in GoldenEye and was featured in the 1997 game, subsequent Bond actor Daniel Craig's likeness and voice are featured in the 2010 game and the plot has been modified to fit his interpretation with the current style of James Bond films. Judi Dench, who has portrayed M since GoldenEye, reprises her role for the game, though in voice only. With the exception of M, all other main characters from the film have had their appearances altered, though they still retain their original names.[1]
Unlike the original video game and movie, the whole story takes place after the Cold War due to the Soviet Union's replacement by Russia, so the story does not jump nine years ahead after the opening sequence.
The story is set some time after Quantum of Solace as James Bond (007) (Daniel Craig) and Alec Trevelyan (006) (Elliot Cowan) are on a mission infiltrating a chemical weapons facility in Arkhangelsk, Russia, which is believed to be the source of weapons used by a terrorist cell to target British embassies around the world. The mission goes awry when Trevelyan is apparently shot by General Ourumov (Laurence Possa). Bond escapes by detonating explosives he had placed throughout the facility before fleeing Arkhangelsk via airplane.
Later, a phone call intercepted from Ourumov connects him to Russian gangster Valentin Zukovsky (Alec Newman) as Ourumov attempts to acquire a helicopter that has been modified to survive an electromagnetic pulse. Zukovsky directs him to an arms fair in Dubai but is unable to stop Onatopp and Ourumov from stealing the helicopter. He is however able to plant his smartphone on board, and MI6 is able to track the helicopter to a remote base in Siberia. Bond is unable to stop the theft of a GoldenEye weapons satellite which is detonated by Ourumov. Bond is able to rescue Natalya Simonova (Kirsty Mitchell) before being arrested by the Russian army.
Believing Bond and Natalya to be responsible for the GoldenEye blast, Russian Defense Minister Dmitri Mishkin (Ed Stoppard) interrogates the two in St. Petersburg, but is killed by Ourumov who abducts Natalya. Bond pursues him to a train and confronts him over his plan for the GoldenEye satellite. Xenia betrays Ourumov and kills him. Bond is able to help Natalya off the train and goes to a meeting at Statue Park learning that Trevelyan survived his execution at the hands of Ourumov and is now Janus, the mastermind behind the GoldenEye theft and leaves with Natalya, who is instrumental to his plan.
Bond is able to infiltrate a Solar facility in Africa and tricks Alec into destroying his supercomputers stopping his plan to use the satellite to destroy the bank of London erasing evidence of finances he stole. After fighting Trevelyan, Bond is able to overload the facility control room and shoots Trevelyan sending him to his death over the tower. Natalya and Bond escape the base by helicopter, with the couple kissing in the mission's aftermath.
While GoldenEye 007 is a re-imagining of the film, the game does have noticeable differences. Levels have been altered to reflect the game's modified story. According to Craig Harris of IGN, "GoldenEye still retains the basics of GoldenEye's story, but retells it in a way that makes sense with Daniel Craig's interpretation of James Bond."[5] Likewise, the game features modern game elements to coincide with other modern first-person shooters, such as destructible environments, regenerating health, and online multiplayer.[6]
Eurocom has also added a few updated features while retaining some features from the original game. Instead of a watch, players use a mobile phone to scan documents, take photos, and communicate with MI6. The original GoldenEye 007 featured a cheat menu which is available from the start in the re-make.[7] The game updates the AI-Bot system which is built upon Eurocom's previous game, Dead Space: Extraction. Each computer player possesses its own AI-bot system to make them dynamic and challenging.[8]
The game offers players several choices of controllers: Wii Remote with Nunchuk, Wii Zapper, Classic Controller, Classic Controller Pro, or a Nintendo GameCube controller. GoldenEye 007 also provides players using the Remote with Nunchuk or Wii Zapper with the ability to peer around cover by tilting the Nunchuk. The game includes twenty-five weapons based upon counterparts from the Bond franchise.
GoldenEye 007 features both offline split screen for up to four local players and online play for up to eight players. There are 10 multiplayer maps. There are four different game modes for offline multiplayer and nine different game modes for online multiplayer. Online multiplayer is provided through the free Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, and though up to eight players can connect to a game remotely, only one local player is allowed at a time.[1] Multiplayer includes characters from the single player campaign, such as James Bond and Alec Trevelyan, as well as classic Bond-series characters including Jaws, Oddjob, and Julius No. Additionally, online multiplayer offers XP progression, unlockables and multipliers.[10] Split screen combat provides over a dozen modifiers, including Paintball Mode from the original game.[11]
During November 2006, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime announced that Nintendo was exploring the possibility of adding the Nintendo 64 classic GoldenEye 007 to the Virtual Console, despite a complicated situation in which the game's developer Rare is owned by Microsoft (producers of the rival Xbox 360 console) and the video game rights to the James Bond franchise are held by Activision. He stated, "We would love to see it [on the Virtual Console], so we're exploring all the rights issues.
On January 7, 2008, Xbox Evolved reported that an updated version of GoldenEye 007 would be released on Xbox Live Arcade. However on January 11, 2008, 1UP.com reported that a GoldenEye port (as opposed to a remake) had been in development at Rare for several months, but stated that the title would not be released on the Xbox Live Arcade since "Microsoft and Nintendo couldn't agree on the financial side of things". Perfect Dark, a Nintendo 64 title which used the same engine as GoldenEye would later make it to Xbox Live Arcade, however. As of August 2013[update], Microsoft has made no comment on further effort to acquire the rights to the game and release GoldenEye 007 on XBLA.[12][13] It was revealed at E3 2010 that a new Goldeneye video game would be released for the Wii in November 2010. GoldenEye 007 is built on a modified version of the game engine from another Wii game by Eurocom, Dead Space: Extraction.[14]
Originally, Free Radical Design (now Crytek UK) were approached by Activision to develop the game because former Rare staff were working there, however the deal was never finalised.[15]
James Bond film producer Michael G. Wilson spoke in June 2010 about Daniel Craig's participation in revisiting the story from the original film. "When we first pitched the game to him, he was really excited about it. He thought the original game was great. Daniel plays a lot of games and... gives us a lot of good criticism. We'll show him what the plan is and he'll suggest changes and get very hands-on." Wilson went on to say that Craig is aware of the original game's impact, but that his on-screen interpretation of James Bond also required changes to the tone of the story and an increased physical nature to the gameplay.[16]
David Arnold, composer of every Bond film score since and including Tomorrow Never Dies, composed the game's score.[2][17] Nicole Scherzinger performs the title song, a cover version of the film's theme which was originally performed by Tina Turner.[2] The game's script is penned by Bruce Feirstein, the co-writer of the GoldenEye film,[1] who has described several changes made to update the story in the fifteen years since its release; for example, Alec Trevelyan's motivations have changed, as the character's backstory involving a Lienz Cossack father would make Trevelyan seventy-one years old in 2010, while Valentin Zukovsky no longer has any connection to the KGB. Feirstein also cited a sequence of the game set at a Dubai arms fair.[18] Rory Kinnear reprises his role from Quantum of Solace as Bill Tanner, M's Chief of Staff.
GoldenEye 007 has received positive reviews. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the Wii version 83.67% and 81/100[19][20] and the Nintendo DS version 68.82% and 64/100.[21][22] IGN awarded the game a 9.0 out of 10 and an Editor's Choice Award, praising its multiplayer component and its well-crafted story while criticizing the lack of voice chat.[11] The reviewer, Craig Harris, concluded by acknowledging that the game—as of its release—is the Wii's best first person shooter.[11] Gaming Nexus gave GoldenEye 007 an A–, stating, "instead of standing in the original GoldenEye's shadow, Eurocom has created a brand new game that is just as compelling and addictive as the original."[23] GameSpot reviewer Tom McShea also praised the game, awarding it an 8.5 out of 10.[24] Joystiq scored the game 4 out of 5.[25] Nintendo World Report awarded the game an 8.5/10, with the reviewer stating, "Frankly, I haven't seen a more impressive Wii shooter."[26] The Official Nintendo Magazine gave GoldenEye 007 a score of 90%.[27] GameTrailers scored the game at 8.6 of 10, indicating that while most aspects are well-done, the game's performance suffers from inconsistent framerates, particularly during splitscreen play. They also derided the menus as "bland" and the "not very crisp" overall picture due to aliasing.[28] Digital Trends' gave the game 8 of 10, complaining of the enemy AI's simplistic strategies and lack of adaptability. While the multiplayer gameplay was highly praised by the reviewer, the lack of voice chat was seen as a significant omission.[29]
GamesRadar, although less positive, were still pleased with the result, awarding the game a 7 out of 10, stating that it was impossible for the game to live up to the original, but that it was still "a damn fine, 'serious' shooter on the Wii, and that's saying something," adding that "even without the limited options for mature action for Wii owners, GoldenEye 007 is a solid game in its own right."[30] In contrast, however, Game Informer was less impressed, giving the game a 6.5/10, calling it "a lackluster game that fails to hit the same high notes of the original, or keep pace with modern shooters".[31]
At the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con International, Activision unveiled GoldenEye 007: Reloaded, a remastering of the Wii game for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles. The game features high-definition graphics due to running on a new game engine, an achievement system, new "Mi6 Ops Missions", and PlayStation Move compatibility for the PS3 version.[32][33] On Sept. 14, 2011, Activision announced plans to release an exclusive PlayStation 3 bundle called "007: GoldenEye Reloaded Double 'O' Edition" which will include access to the downloadable character Hugo Drax.[34] The bundle will include a PlayStation Move motion controller, navigation controller, PlayStation Eye camera, and Sharp Shooter peripheral along with the game on Blu-ray Disc. The game was released on November 1, 2011 in North America and on
November 4, 2011 in Europe.
GoldenEye 007 features online play for up to 16 players. There are 14 multiplayer maps. There are nine different game modes for online multiplayer. Online multiplayer can be used by Xbox Live and PlayStation Network, and though up to 16 players can connect to a game remotely, only one local player is allowed at a time. Multiplayer includes characters from the single player campaign, such as James Bond and Alec Trevelyan, as well as classic Bond-series characters including Jaws, Oddjob, and Julius No. Additionally, online multiplayer offers XP progression, unlockables and multipliers.
Reloaded has some changes to its Wii counterpart. There's new added gameplay, peripheral compatibility and improved graphics.
GoldenEye 007: Reloaded received positive reviews. Aggregating review websites GameRankings and Metacritic gave the PlayStation 3 version 75.60% and 72/100[37][38] and the Xbox 360 version 73.20% and 72/100.[39][40]

Up-and-Comers: Woman's Hour
Here's a band you're likely to hear a lot more from in the coming months. A four-piece electro-pop act based in London, Woman's Hour is just now coming on the radar, but they've already made best-of lists on publications like BBC6 Music and Line of Best Fit for last year's tunes "Darkest Place" and "Thunder," as well as an impressive cover of Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love."
Their just-released new single "Her Ghost," is their first track since signing to the Secretly Canadian label. I love the understated haunting vocal delivery of Fiona Jane on this track, laid over lush synths and U2-esque effected guitars. This isn't electro-pop of the dance variety; this music has a slower, darker, more melancholy vibe that I find totally captivating. I can't wait to hear more.
"Her Ghost" will be available here in the U.S. as a digital download next week, with a 7" vinyl release scheduled for next month. No word yet on an album, but with the waves Woman's Hour is making, I have a hard time believing it isn't too far behind. See what you think!
Share and Enjoy

The itinerant Travel Bag of Hope: an art journey connecting 14 creative women
28 May 2016 2 Comments
in Art, Art Therapy, connection, Creations, creativity, Expressive Therapies, gratitude, Inspirational, let's change the world together, Love, peace, sharing, Uncategorized
I was thinking of incorporating some random acts of kindness through creative projects into my current surroundings while in the Middle East…Sharing is caring and I find that wherever I go it expands the networks within expressive arts therapies, arts and healing communities…
I feel that this could be a little something celebrating the important values of peace, love, gratitude, respect, hope, acceptance and diversity. I got the idea from an amazing previous project by super inspiring art therapist Gretchen Miller and her project: Random Acts of Art adventure traveling pouch that went global.
The aim of the creative random act is to pass on the "Traveling Bag of Hope" with art materials and a little something made for the receiver. Everyone taking part will receive instructions on what/how/whom to send it. The receiver will send me pictures of arrival, creative present made of things inside the bag, add a little something to the bag, do a page in the bag's traveling art journal and send it off to the next destination:)
Ultimately local artists, art therapists and their communities will be connected and good creative vibes will be spread:)
So the "Traveling Bag of Hope" (something I made with improvised materials) has already made her way from me to Dana Shaham as the second stop and continue the travels further.
Inside among the creative goodness and artsy vibes, there is also a journal in which everyone will contribute:)
Safe happy travels to "Traveling Bag of Hope" and its encounters:)

Are you maintaining along with your private well being? Much of the research on water and physical or mental functioning compares a euhydrated state, usually achieved by provision of water enough to beat water loss, to a dehydrated state, which is achieved via withholding of fluids over time and during periods of heat stress or high exercise.
This overview makes an attempt to provide some sense of our present information of water together with general patterns of intake and a few elements linked with intake, the complex mechanisms behind water homeostasis, the effects of variation in water intake on well being and vitality intake, weight, and human performance and functioning.
We overview present understanding of the exquisitely complicated and sensitive system which protects land animals towards dehydration and touch upon the complications of acute and power dehydration in man against which a greater expression of water requirements might complement the physiological management of thirst.
Further investigation is needed to ascertain whether or not there are signs and knowledge that can be used to foretell the risk of a fatal acute myocardial infarction in such patients, which might contribute to reducing the mortality burden of acute myocardial infarction.
The latest official effort at recommending water intake for various subpopulations was part of the Dietary Reference Intake process of the Institute of Medication of the National Academy of Science's Report on Dietary Reference Intakes on Water and Electrolytes as reported in 2005.

We Shall Never Surrender
From our friends @ Jesus_Needs_New_PR
3 comments:
It just so happened that, in the replica watches sale mid-Eighties, former watchmaking legend Zenith was starting to get back on its feet. A deal was struck, and cheap replica watches it was the El Primero that found its way into the new era of Rolex Daytona chronographs — but not hublot replica without a few modifications first, of course. The changes made to turn the high-beat El omega replica Primero into the Rolex cal. 4030 were extensive. First was the reduction of the beat from 36,000 vph to a more sedate 28,800 replica watches vph to allow the use of liquid lubrication, which would normally be flung off at the higher replica watches sale speed. Also added was the Microstellar balance and Breguet overcoil, plus a completely new auto-winding mechanism complete with vertical clutch assembly for smoother engagement of the chronograph.ReplyDelete

Going to try and make this a quick one....
We are all good. We have been pottering around, sorting stuff and seeing friends, and having time as a family.
IT was the Super Bowl last night. That was fun to watch. I really enjoyed Beyonce's half time show, plus the adverts. This is such a commercialized society, but at least they know it, and are even prepared to rib themselves about it. Got quite drunk though, sore head this morning.
We ordered bedroom furniture in preparation for our first visitors arriving in about 5 weeks time. Tony, Paul's brother first, then my mum a week later. I cant wait to see my mum, I get goose bumps just thinking about it!!!! Ikea furniture is arriving wednesday, it worked out sooooo much cheaper to get it there than anywhere else. The way they do their beds is funny (to me, its probably like this back home, but I haven't bought a bed in about 10 years, till we got here). You but the frame, the base and the mattress all separately, which means it costs you a nice chunk to kit out a room.
The boys are all good. Had to take Oliver to the doctor this afternoon, I made the appointment over a week ago, thats almost as bad as Westcourt..... His ear infection is back, so drops for him. This has been ongoing since June. Will see how he goes with this. It doesn't affect him as such, just every few days his ear will leak a delightful substance.....Isaac is currently on his winter break from school, so he is off this week. Today has been quite nice, just hoping it continues. He is funny, he insists on having computer time, and like Oliver he is loving playing Forza on the xbox. But after 45-60 minutes, he has had enough, Oliver would play all day if you let him. He seems to have good control when it comes to video games, shame the same cannot be said for TV. He would watch Spongebob and Ninjago all day if he could. Sebastian is great. I gave him a slight hair cut this week, just a few centimeters from a few places, he has lost his lock at the back. You would not know it to look at him, but I think he looks more grown up. He is chatting away to himself. Certain thing s he can say quite well. Other things he is not there with yet, but it will come and no doubt by the time he is 3 we wont be able to shut him up.
We had Terminex round today. They are the pest control people. Thought we better, after Paul spotted a mouse one morning, then proceeded to catch it! Lucy just isn't pulling her weight..... admittedly she has caught a few outside, just don't think she expected to have any on 'her' turf.
Its my birthday tomorrow, and I am off to Greenville Zoo with a friend. Then drive through on the school run for dinner. Boys early to bed, Paul is away, so I have complete control of the TV, computer and beer supplies!!!!
Wednesday, hoping to go into Oliver's school to have lunch with him, depending on ikea delivery, then meeting a friend or two at the park.
Thursday we are off to the mountains. I so cant wait. We have a cabin in the middle of no where, with what looks like stunning views, a pool table, foosball table and a hot tub. The boys can have a splash!!! We can drink loads of booze, and celebrate my birthday properly. Looking forward to a weekend of relaxing, exploring and generally having fun. Prepare yourselves for the millions of photos about to be posted on here and Facebook.....

LIZA: (spoken) Oh I forgot...
For eighteen years, I've had this friend
This friend whose given me no end
Of encouragement and love
It's possible you know who it is I'm speaking of
So great is her fame
Most everyone knows her name
From Timbuktu to Yokohama
And for the few
Who still haven't found a clue
Her name is Mama
LIZA: (spoken) You know, all the time, people come up to me and they say, "Judy Garland being called MAMA?" And all the time I say, "Mama being called Judy Garland?" It's just not right, is it? But I have no ordinary, normal kind of mother. I mean, she was born in a trunk! She's got this rainbow fetish! I don't know what to do. But, there's something I've always wanted to do. Through the years, there've been so many sungs you've song...sung just for me. Songs you've sung...
I've wanted to sing out to you
Why go your way by yourself
When you can take me along
Take me along
Take me along, please do!
Then I can be you, with you
While doing a show
And we can sing, we two
The songs we love so
Me and my mama
I'm realizing a dream
Always hoped we might work as a team
Picture me upon her knee
When I was at the age of three
Hoping someday I'd grow up to be like you
Certain things that I do
Remind people of you
Oh, I don't know why
The way, the way we wear our hair
And always sing on-key
JUDY: (spoken) We're lucky!
We make a perfect pair
And they just can't take that away from me
No, they can't take that away cos
Just like you, Mama
I love a piano
I love a piano
I love to hear somebody play
Forget your fiddle, throw away your bow
Give me a P-I-A-N-O oh oh!
I love to stop right
Beside an upright
Or high-toned baby grand
Why face beyond, oh
Why see the world on your own
From now on, you can count on me
If you'll agree to
Take me along
Take me along
LIZA: (spoken) You like this? I can do this too.
Take me along with
Singin' hallelujah
Your little baby is comin' to ya!
Mama, mama
I'd trade a million votes
For one of those notes
From mama, mama...
JUDY: (spoken) Frances?!
JUDY: (spoken) Great Scott!
LIZA: (spoken) I hope this is the right song after all that!
JUDY: (spoken) I do too. Wouldn't it be terrible? But, you don't care anyway. Cos we like each other!
LIZA: (spoken) Yes!
JUDY: (spoken) Yes. Alright. Shall we?

As science and technology are becoming more powerful in their potential to affect human lives, research institutions cannot afford to put technical expediency above human interests. This case study is an example of what can happen when a research facility, driven by scientific and technological expediency, loses the fight for the hearts and minds of the public.
The Story of the Conflict
When Brookhaven National Lab was founded in 1946, public affairs did not seem very important. Located in the middle of Long Island, the lab was surrounded by pine forests with only occasional farms and fishing villages marking the landscape. Preoccupied with their research over the years, scientists paid little attention to the lab's public image or to the fact that, in the 50 years since the lab's founding, the community in which it resided had become more populated, more affluent, and more environmentally aware.
In addition, because the lab's equipment had aged during those 50 years, a growing number of environmental problems were raising concerns among community activists. The most damaging blow came in January 1997 when a tritium leak was discovered in one of the lab's nuclear reactors. Notably, both researchers and environmental activists agreed that contamination was minimal and posed no threat to the neighboring communities or the environment. But the public, in the dark about the lab's activities for 50 years, was already angry for what they perceived as the lab's "scientific arrogance." In addition, many in the community were convinced the lab was conducting secret and potentially dangerous research.
The situation was further aggravated by the lab's mishandling of the tritium crisis. While residents expected warm reassurances and profound apologies for the situation, scientists fed them numbers on risk analysis and flow rates. The scientists' appeal to reason was lost on the angry and scared members of the community and their lack of openness was perceived as a lack of integrity.
When the Department of Energy decided to close the reactor permanently in 1999, hundreds of Brookhaven scientists, unemployed after the cancellation of dozens of experiments, left the lab with a bitter feeling that "cynical politics won over scientific truth."
As a communication consultant for a fictitious new research facility (not Brookhaven Labs), develop a communication plan that can help that new facility establish a mutually beneficial working relationship with the neighboring community and protect it against the type of unfortunate situation Brookhaven Labs faced. You may conduct research to assist you in developing your response.

May these quotes about Realm inspire and motivate you.
One cannot have wisdom without perspective,
but once gaining perspective, one attains wisdom.
Wisdom is the ability to view every situation
as each person who is in any way affected
by that situation might view it.
Wisdom benefits from having a knowledge of history,
and therefore a historical perspective,
as well from as having the perspective of imagination -
the realm of the what-might-be
inhabited by futurists and science-fiction writers.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
We fear the unknown,
perhaps more than we fear anything else,
and yet we are, at heart, adventurers.
We seek to expand our realm of knowledge and dominion.
Perhaps we are attempting to overcome and crush the unknown,
but our duel with the unknown is such a one-sided clash
that we must know in our hearts
that our adventure is no more than a child's game.
Perhaps we hope that the unknown
is like the darkness of a cave
and that the brief light of our adventurer's candle
can illuminate the entire cave.
Nonetheless, the path of the adventurer
is a path of joy, while the way of fear is one of suffering.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Man must cease attributing his problems to his environment,
and learn again to exercise his will - his personal responsibility
in the realm of faith and morals.
- Albert Schweitzer
I am the Wizard. This world is mine.
I speak. It's done. My realm is fine.
My wand, my tongue. My sword, my voice.
It's good. It's bad. I speak my choice.
I say happy, or I say mad.
I say angry, or I say glad.
I name that drawing on the wall.
It's not graffiti after all.
The past has been broken. The prison's not real.
My word holds the magic - the power to heal.
Intent is my weapon - a sword from above.
Cruel hate, fear, and anger transmute into love.
This world's my joy. This mouth's my toy.
Reborn -I'm a brand new girl or boy.
I choose. I speak. My will is done.
Come join. Come play. This can be fun.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping
young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the
ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.
- Walt Disney
In all realms of life it takes courage to stretch your limits,
express your power, and fulfill your potential...
it's no different in the financial realm.
- Suze Orman
Such highly qualitative leadership is demanded especially
in the realm of the fostering of right international relations.
Here the demand is simply irresistible.

Pastor, You Feel Unsafe Because You are
A friend asked me if I'd be willing to spend time with his young pastor.
We shared a meal and talked about church. The more the young pastor talked the more uneasy I felt. I've learned over the years to identify that uneasiness as the Spirit compelling me to speak up.
"How's your leadership team? Is there unity? Do they feel valued, and do you feel safe?"
Those aren't difficult questions to answer, but they are questions successful and hard-driving pastors and church leaders are seldom asked.
Until they meet me. I could care less about their vision or strategies. I want to know the health of their leadership team.
The young man tried to assure me that all was good…except for some small strains between him and some staff members. Oh, and a few of the wives didn't seem to care for one another. And then there was the denominational supervisor who had great influence in his church and was quick to let everyone know when the new guy was leading the church in a "dangerous" direction.
"But," his eyes looked off at the back wall, "I'd say I feel pretty safe."
My answer surprised him: "You're not safe, my friend. If you don't address these issues today it's not going to get better. It's going to get worse. And then, suddenly, you'll be through."
I begged him to let me in, to give me an opportunity to at least try to bring the health Jesus can bring to a leadership team when they're willing to do the hard work of building trusting relationships.
I flew home without hearing more from him or about him.
Until some brokenhearted members of his church told me he had resigned.
His resignation letter looked suspiciously like a masterpiece crafted by his enemies. Apparently he was the only one to blame in this mess that I'm sure caused tears in heaven and on earth.
As I read the letter I wept. You could smell the politics and behind the scenes power plays.
So there you go.
Another fractured leader.
Another wounded church.
And more everyday Christians left out of the process and wondering if it's worth it to go to church.
This dear young pastor's tragic mistake was thinking that he could fix the leadership problems in his church on his own.
That's not the way it goes.
If you're a leader feeling unsafe due to the backwash of disunity and politics, please let me in.
You feel unsafe because you are.
It's what I do, and you can't do it alone.
Let us help.

We're now one hypothesis down and know one thing more: tens of millions of years ago there was an enormous piece of floating rock that did not cause the dinosaurs to die out at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, NASA scientists say.
This however does not mean that the famous mass extinction event before the onset of the Tertiary – during which the Earth's fossil record had to say goodbye to all dinosaurs but the birds, and which marks the sudden end of those abundant and cheerful ammonites in marine rocks – was not caused by any asteroid.
Baptistina crashed in asteroid belt
It just wasn't caused by debris of Baptistina, a large asteroid which we thought had entered our solar system almost a hundred million years before the C-T boundary [which itself dates back 66 million years], crashing into other orbiting bodies in the so-called asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars.
Based on infrared measurements of remaining Baptistina debris in the asteroid belt by NASA's WISE project, scientists were better able to determine the size of the original asteroid, which turns out to have been much smaller. This also influences chronology. The asteroid is now thought to have entered our solar system 80 million years ago, just half the previous time estimate.
In the remaining 15 million years before the end of the Cretaceous period and the end of the dinosaurs it is now thought unlikely it was capable to send a chunk to Earth, big enough to have caused the extinction. That's because it would take many millions of years to reach sufficient deviation from its orbit.
Found a likely jar, looking for a fitting lid
The WISE project is now looking to disentangle other asteroid families, size them up, and date them. They hope to find one that matches the famous crater deep under the Gulf of Mexico.
The C-T extinction event is actually quite odd in Earth's history of extinction events in that is (still) thought to have been caused by an extraterrestrial influence. Usually some big tug in the climate system was sufficient to do the trick – even for the one that dwarfed all others to the size of a flu epidemic.

If you were watching the NL Wild Card game between the Diamondbacks and Rockies, you might have noticed a Diamondbacks coach wearing an item of particular interest in Major League Baseball: an Apple Watch.
TBS cameras caught D'backs coach/Spanish interpreter Ariel Prieto wearing the Apple Watch in the bottom of the second inning, and Major League Baseball has launched an investigation into why Prieto was wearing the device, reports The New York Post.
Apple Watches—more specifically, their use in baseball—became a hot topic when the Yankees submitted a report accusing the Red Sox of using the devices to communicate the Yankees' pitch signs during a series at Fenway Park in September. According to the Yankees' accusations, a Red Sox official watching the television broadcast would send a message to a coach via the watch, and the coach would then relay the sign to the batter. Shortly thereafter, MLB investigators confirmed the Yankees' suspicions by viewing their own footage, and the Red Sox admitted to having trainers use electronic devices to communicate signs to players.
The Red Sox responded by accusing the Yankees' broadcast network of having a camera specifically for stealing signs, according to a New York Times report.
In the end, the Red Sox were fined an undisclosed amount, with the money being donated to Hurricane relief, and the Yankees weren't punished. The league went relatively light because the act of trying to steal signs isn't illegal in itself, but using technology to aid the practice is. Commissioner Rob Manfred issued a statement warning all 30 teams that if they use Apple Watches or any other technology to steal signs, they will be punished more severely, including the possible loss of draft picks.
Odds are Prieto is aware of the whole Red Sox-Yankee fiasco, and maybe he's just wearing the watch because he thinks it looks sweet. (It does.)
But still, if you're an MLB coach, just stop wearing an Apple Watch!


text: A big update from the past 3 weeks. Some of these I saw while on plane flights to and from Japan. Highly Recommended The Night Comes for Us (2018) (Indonesian Action/Thriller) – After choosing to save a little girl against the orders of his triad bosses, an enforcer (Joe Taslim) must survive the constant attacks by triad gang members, vicious hitwomen, and his former friend (Iko Uwais). This film is filled to the brim with gratuitously violent fight scenes and shootouts that are intricately choreographed, well staged, perfectly shot and fun to watch. Of course, there's no way normal people in real life would survive this level of physical abuse and continue to fight, but the action physics are very realistic, with no use of wires or superhuman abilities. The script and characters are thinly developed, but no one should care with this much bone-crunching action. Julie Estelle plays a sexy assassin whose allegiences are questionable, and she yet again handles herself very well during her fights. The two-location finale is fantastic stuff. This is an instant classic by one half of the Mo Brothers (Timo). Inuyashiki (2018) (Japanese Thriller/Action/Drama) – A 56-year-old office worker encounters aliens and is gifted with alien technology and limitless powers, but a younger man (Takeru Satoh) is also endowed with these gifts and intends to use them for dubious purposes. The viewer is definitely on the protagonist's side because everyone pushes him around (including his family and boss). This film does focus a lot of character development. There's a certain intensity to the low-key thrills that are introduced throughout, and it does get a bit bloody. This movie contributes one of the best sequences of any film that I've seen this year, and it involves internet trolls. A very unique scene that I will never forget. This is a genre-bender that is proficiently exciting and crowd-pleasing when it needs to be. The cyborg special effects are also quite good. One Cut of the Dead (2017) (Japanese Comedy/Horror/Drama) – Things go badly for a hack director and film crew shooting a low budget zombie movie in an abandoned WWII Japanese facility, when they are attacked by real zombies. It's difficult to discuss the plot without spoiling it. This is basically a genre-bender that infuses family drama and the theme of "the love of filmmaking." It's a lot better than I had expected, and the main reason for that is the scriptwriting – which is very detailed and very well-written. The finale is lengthy and a lot of fun. It reminded me of a certain Japanese comedy film from the mid 1990s. (Viewed without subtitles.) BuyBust (2018) (Filipino Action/Thriller) – An anti-drug enforcement agency stages a massive drug bust in the slums of Manila, but they become trapped and hunted down by criminals and civilians alike. The night-time setting, slum neighborhood, rainy weather, and neon lights add a lot of atmosphere that pops because there is a lot of roaming around, quietly, with guns drawn as the protagonists move and secure small areas within the slums. Fighting is scrappy, which is fine, but some the camerawork and editing is a bit off at times. You can actually see the spectrum of quality in the trailer alone, with some fights being cleanly shot while others being difficult to see. Still, there are some inspired moments, like the lengthy, seemingly uncut shot when a protagonist battles a small army on a series of rooftops and alleyways. This is a sufficiently violent film with a very likeable lead actress, tons of action, and a huge body count. Housewife (2017) (Turkish Horror) – Haunted by a horrific childhood trauma for 20 years, a woman struggles with vivid, disturbing nightmares that leave her detached and unable to live a normal life. After being introduced to the leader of a cult, she is led on a twisted journey of waking dreams that will begin to unravel the fabric of reality. This film is loaded to the brim with atmosphere. It is set in winter and contributes a ton of moody visuals, fantastic lighting, and a solid score. The script is also very psychological because it incorporates dream logic (or lack thereof) where it is uncertain as to what is a dream, what is reality, and how the two impact one another. I found it to be fascinating and well-crafted on that level. From the director of "Baskin", which also means that you get a bit of bloody violence. Apostle (2018) (Welsh Horror/Thriller) – In 1905, a drifter on a dangerous mission to rescue his kidnapped sister tangles with a sinister religious cult on an isolated island. There's a constant aura of stifling danger present, right from the start of the film, which creates a thick layer of unending suspense and tension. In terms of violence, there is some nasty stuff during the final third – which includes a few disturbing torture scenes, but the film is rather measured with its bloodiness, overall. The lair of twisted branches is horrifying. Shot in Wales, there are some fantastic shots of natural environments. This takes place in a small village of wooden houses that lies in the middle of a forest area on an island. Scoring is good and unnerving without resorting to loud booms. In terms of flaws, the scriptwriting is a bit loose/contrived at times, the film does get a bit unrealistic regarding how much punishment a person can take and still walk around, and the final shot in a bit gimmicky, but this is solid stuff. Performances are very good across the board. Directed by Gareth Evans. Animal World (2018) (Chinese Mystery/Drama/Action) – This film has one of the most misleading trailers in cinematic history. In actuality, it's about a young man who boards a ship to attend a gambling party. Our protagonist has a mental condition that gives the film every opportunity to throw in a few completely unnecessary and ridiculous fight scenes, but it's actually based on the manga "Kaiji" (the gambler one). The gambling game of "rock paper scissors" also reminded me a lot of "Liar Game" in its use of probability and deception. The strategies will certainly make the viewer think a bit, and that's what makes this one fun to watch. I like the lead actor; he can definitely carry a film. Michael Douglas has a supporting role and Zhou Dongyu has a smaller role, but they give lively performances. The 130-minute runtime is justified. The ending is a cliffhanger that sets up a sequel. I'll watch it. Recommended The Ghost Bride (2017) (Filipino Horror) – To save her family's home and her ailing father, a young woman accepts a lucrative offer to become a "ghost bride", marrying a wealthy, deceased man. The deal suddenly turns to a curse when the ghost of her groom turns jealous and possessive of the young bride. Most of the death scenes are surprisingly bloody and I like the design of the ghosts as well, because they wear masks or head-dresses much of the time. There are a lot of cultural aspects to this film (both Filipino and Chinese). I really like the lead actress, and there's definitely an emotional core and conflict to this movie that works. Good production values with some colorful lighting. There's an elaborate ceremony that's used for the finale. Dementia (2014) (Filipino Horror) – In the hopes of helping her aunt better deal with her dementia, a woman moves her out to their family's remote ancestral home, but the old woman's presence stirs up memories that are better left undisturbed. This definitely has a lot of atmosphere to it, with cool archaic stone architecture, a moody score, good use of sound, fantastic seaside environments, and lots of rocks. There are certain genre tropes that the film uses, but this is a legitimately good movie. (Viewed without subtitles, but some English is spoken and much of the story is told visually.) We Make Antiques! (2018) (Japanese Drama/Comedy) – An antique dealer heads to Osaka in the hopes of scouring antiques for hidden treasure, but meets a down-and-out potter with his own problems. This is a good flick with likeable protagonists and some interesting info on antique tea bowls. The ending is a bit unfocused though. Happy Death Day (2017) (American Horror/Comedy) – A college student must relive the day of her murder over and over again, in a loop that will end only when she discovers her killer's identity. This is sufficiently fun, briskly paced, engaging and suspenseful. The lead actress (Jessica Rothe) is actually quite likeable. The viewer will feel the frustration of the protagonist as well, which is a good thing. At times it's a bit too similar to the film "Groundhog Day", but I'll watch this over a "Conjuring", "Insidious" or "Ouija" film any day of the week. Not Recommended Illang: The Wolf Brigade (2018) (Korean Action/Drama) – Set in the future where both North and South Koreas agree to establish a joint government, the plot focuses on political uprisings on opposing sides which grow fierce when a special police unit is formed to stop the chaos. This is not a complete disaster, in my opinion, because the action is good and Hyo-joo Han is the female lead, but the excessive runtime of 139 minutes, over-plotting, and weak dialogue make this film . . . at its best . . . watchable fluff. A disappointment by Ji-woon Kim that is based on a Japanese anime film that is better overall.

E.Amartuvshin: My wish came true
Soloist of the State Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet E.Amartuvshin participated in the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition and took the Audience Prize last Sunday. He returned to Mongolia on Tuesday. Below is a brief interview with the world-class vocalist.
Congratulations. Was your trip home good?
I returned to my home country on June 23. I am very happy. I want to express my gratitude to the State Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet and my family.
Over 400 professional singers competed in the competition. You were selected as one of top five participants. How did you feel?
In the first stage of the competition I sang "Nemico Della Patria". I think I sang well, however I did not express myself fully. BBC Cardiff Singer of the World is one of the biggest competitions in the world. I am very excited that I am one of the world's top singers.
We heard before that you wanted to sing on the stage of BBC Cardiff Singer of the World.
Yes. My wish came true. No Mongolians have participated in this competition before. I am proud of myself that I promoted Mongolia around the world. But I am not the only one behind my success. It is not only my career, but the world-recognized ability of Mongolian opera singers.
The organizers of the competition once said that your voice is very unique and hadn't been heard before in the competition's history?
Singers from Canada, Turkey, Belarus, and South Korea were selected as the top five participants with me. A singer from Belarus, Nadine Koutcher, was crowned BBC Cardiff Singer of the World, winning the competition's trophy. Jongmin Park won the Song Prize of the competition. Every singer has a unique voice. I valued all the participants and am proud of them.

During our first week in India I developed a sense of frustration, I felt that I had lost the enthusiasm for the cycle tour. We had been sedentary for some time, however, it should be said that much of this was unavoidable due to the processing time for my Indian visa in Islamabad. The preceding 'city breaks' of Lahore and Amritsar which did in fact offer sights that we didn't want to miss and much of the inactivity was exasperated by our shared ill state of health and necessary recuperation. Though I was becoming more and more restless on non-cycling days and longed for a chance to burn off some energy. We decided to cycle out of Amritsar with a hope that the fresh air and a little exercise will help relieve our flu-like symptoms. Immediately after leaving the city behind, the wildlife and verdure of the open outdoors reignited my sense of adventure. It was liberating to be away from a city and immerse ourselves into the hinterlands of India. Then in typical Browning style, on the first morning of cycle tour part two, Jacob suffered his second inner tube blow out of the trip. Neither of us knew that tubes could actually explode with such force. I willingly added a notch on the 'Puncture Tally' in my note pad.
It took us four days to cycle from Amritsar to our next destination, McLeod Ganj. The first night on the road we were offered our own room in the living quarters of a Sikh Gurdwara, we experienced a warm welcome and were offered hot milk and pakora to tide us over until meal time at 22:00. Few Sikh worshipers at the Gurdwara could speak English but we enjoyed an animated attempt at a conversation with one of the elders. We managed to stay awake until supper time listening to a three hour melodic mantra.
We cycled through what felt like a jungle, my eyes feasted on the sights of towering trees with broad leaves, bamboo and banana plants. The foreign sound of birds tweeting and squawking, that we were deprived of living our city life, hiding in the tree tops. Over the following days we climbed higher into the Himalayan foothills, looking back from whence we came. We were granted views of the fertile land of the north Indian plains and distant hills, red faced macaques would scamper across the road, expressing a cheeky mocking look as we cycled past. As we crossed the border of the Punjab state of India, and into Himachal Pradesh, the white and gold Sikh Gurdwara had been replaced by Hindu temples and colourful shrines of Hindu deities, some often resonating with ear piercing music.
The final day of ascent to McLeod Ganj was brutal, six hours riding, of which, five hours consisted of a relentless ascent. It was a hot day, sweat dripped into the lenses of my sunglasses, my moustache was saturated and my arms glistened in the sun. As we passed Dharamshala we met an insanely steep section of road, my little legs struggled to produce enough power to propel my bike forwards, I resorted to switching back from left to right across the road to ease the gradient, I started to doubt whether I had it in me when, finally, the road eased off and lead us through a forest, the road encompassed by pine and cedar trees that, to our relief, shaded the road.
McLeod Ganj, a suburb of Dharamshala, is nestled within the Himalayan foot hills at 2,082 metres. It is often referred to as 'Little Lhasa' due to a large population of Tibetans and the home of the Tsuglagkhang, the Dalai Lama's temple. For this reason it has, over the years, attracted an increasing number of bohemian tourists trying to find themselves whilst smoking joints and sipping on sweet banana lassi. Jacob and I liked to think that cycling valorously into the main square on heavily laden bicycles, we were exempt from this stereotype, however the buff that I wear in a bandana style fashion on my head may suggest otherwise. We arrived just before 14:00, navigated through the crowds to the first Dhaba we could find. We sat down, freed our sweaty feet from the confines of shoes and socks and let out a huge, synchronous sigh. We ordered enough food to feed a family and feasted like kings. This was undoubtedly followed by coffee and cake at Jimmy's Cafe, coffee and cake becoming an indulgence that we treat ourselves to to celebrate our achievement of an extremely arduous day, if it's not too late of course.
Losing the coin toss, it was my duty to seek out a comfortable, affordable establishment to spend the next few days and rest our weary legs. I happened to stumble across a very reasonably priced guest house with a balcony offering vast views of the misty valleys and surrounding villages. We settled in, showered and collapsed on the bed. Always a sucker for a sunrise, I set my alarm for 06:00. I woke like a child on Christmas morning, pulled my aching legs out of bed, brewed a pan of fresh coffee, donned my down jacket and sat on the balcony as the sun rose above the valley to the east.
We spent a few pleasant days recovering and recuperating in McLeod Ganj. On the first day we wandered the streets to the Dalai Lama's temple, the Tsuglagkhang, where we quietly observed Buddhist monks chanting in unison, the younger generation read from religious scriptures while the elders, who must have memorised every word, sat peacefully with eyes closed as they recited from memory. Although not very aesthetically pleasing from the outside, the interior of the temple was elaborately painted with symbolic Buddhist iconography. As we walked through the temple grounds, I couldn't resist and spin the prayer wheels in a naive hope that simply imitating a deeply religious ritual may bring good fortune and karma.
To continue our day of religious exploration we also visited St John in the wilderness church, that has religious significance dating back to the time of the British Raj. I sat in silence on the second row of pews and admired the vibrant stained glass windows and decorated alter. The waxy smell of varnished church pews and the hard stone floor took me back to the days when, with my family, I attended a church service each Sunday morning. I was overwhelmed with a wave of nostalgia and although I have not experienced a great deal of 'homesickness' on this trip, I felt sense of empty loneliness. I don't see myself as a devout Christian, however, I do resort to prayer in times of desperation and although this wasn't at all a desperate situation I felt it appropriate to prayer for the safety and happiness of my friends and family.
As we left the church it had occurred to me that we had encountered a blend of religion on the tour, or pilgrimage it could perhaps now be referred to. We left the compassionate Islamic peoples of Pakistan, we have eaten with the Sikhs of the Punjab state of India, we have seen giant, musical statues of Hindu Gods in Himachal Pradesh and now we have sat in the Christian sanctuary of the British Raj. It has, thus far, been an educational and enlightening experience.
Unable to resist the lure of a mountain summit, we hiked to Triund Peak at 3,250 metres, host to a Shri Kunal Pathri Devi Temple. The five hour ascent lead us past the Bhagsu Waterfall, through forests, along a ridge line and past Triund Hill until we walked under prayer flags and emerged above the clouds. This is perhaps a good time to point out that I have tried to describe many views throughout my written accounts of this cycle tour, so to avoid another string of adjectives such as "awe inspiring" and "magnificent" I will simply embed a few photos, enjoy. We spent about an hour at the summit 'finding ourselves and drinking banana lassi' before starting the three hour descent. In truth, at the summit Jacob fell asleep while I sat doused with deep gratification, overwhelmed with another "Holy cheese-wire, I am in India!" Moment.
The rest of our time in 'Little Lhasa' was largely spent relaxing, reading, drinking coffee and eating cake. One morning we were running low on fuel for our stove, thinking it a good idea to keep the blood pumping through my legs I volunteered to ride down to Dharamshala to the nearest petrol station. It didn't occur to me until I was half way there that this meant a 400 metre ascent back to up the guest house and to top things off, the heavens opened. I returned 80 minutes later soaking wet and chilled to the bone, a chill that only a steaming bowl of porridge, banana and honey could relieve. The poor weather meant we had to delay our departure by two days, our legs appreciated the extra rest. The next stage of the tour would take us down from the high perch of McLeod Ganj to the valley floor and right back up again to the Himachal Pradesh capital, Shimla at 2,276 metres.

A cloud of gas and dust was the matter from which all planets and the world originates…but what is exactly the origin of the asteroids?
Origin of the world
Outside factors as temperature and gravitation, made the clouds and dust gas to collapse, giving birth to stars and grains of soil. The grains started to orbit around the middle stars and they become larger bodies, layers, and layers of soil being added. The planetesimals ("very small planets") become the 9 planets and their own satellites. But some tiny planets did not develop, broking up into pieces, early in the galaxy. The planets with stable ground, rocky, have been closer to Sun than their siblings, gaseous planets.
Asteroids are Plain Rocks or Five Destroyed Worlds
Asteroids were believed to be leftovers debris from Solar System creation, 4,6 billion years ago. They were thought to belong to nowhere, most of them lying in the crowded belt between Jupiter or Mars. Scientists published on Monday in the publication Nature Astronomy think that they could be different worlds, and their mistery is linked with our planet too.
"If we can turn back the clock and see the asteroid belt was made by these big planetesimals, that really is telling us something quite definitive about the circumstances that formed our own planet," said Katherine Kretke, from Southwest Research Institute.
The head of research, Stanley Dermott, an astronomer at Florida University was searching for the reason asteroids leave their belt and collide with Earth. But he noticed that asteroids shape was tilted or inclined, giving a clue of their former roles in the Universe "if a big asteroid is smashed up and it has a high inclination, then those fragments have that same inclination."
Nesvorny said "It means asteroids are born big," and asteroids are more likely part of bigger planets. But the powerful gravitational spot between Jupiter and Mars didn't give any chances of survival. The issue remains open and researchers are trying to give an answer to the multiple questions…

Carmen Electra Celebrates St. Patty's Day At Sugar Factory & Chateau
St. Patrick's Day partiers and thousands of spring breakers converged at Chateau Nightclub & Gardens (www.chateaunightclublv.com) at Paris Las Vegas last night for a peek at the ever-sexy Carmen Electra, and the stunning television star, model and dancer didn't disappoint.
Wearing a skin-tight fuchsia dress by Stella McCartney, platform Giuseppe Zanotti sandals with a bow and jewelry by Tresor, Electra stopped traffic in the packed nightclub as she danced with friends at her private VIP table.
With her signature caramel locks cascading down her back, Electra smiled demurely and posed for photographs with excited fans. The club cheered when the DJ shouted out, "We have the gorgeous Carmen Electra with us here tonight," as she waved to the crowd from an elevated platform.
Prior to heading up to Chateau, Electra stopped by Sugar Factory American Brasserie (www.sugarfactory.com) for a sweet stop, enjoying an elaborate St. Patrick's Day fondue spread and Sugar Factory's signature lollipop goblet cocktail.
She then took some sweets for the road, an oversized frosted cookie, along with a pink ribbed Sugar Factory tank top, from Sugar Factory's flagship retail store.
Feeling festive, Electra went straight for Sugar Factory's green apple Couture Pop with a silver stem. Photo credit: David Becker/WireImage

Cruise Journalist Jane Archer discovers the history behind APT
In the 1960s, Bill's 19-year-old son Geoff stepped into the driver's seat – literally – and turned the business from a transport firm into the holiday company it is today. "My father started taking Australians on two-week camping trips to Ayres Rock," Robert said. "My mother was the sales rep, handing out flyers to travel agents." Still keeping it very much in the family, Robert is now a director in the company, as is his sister, Lou Tandy.
By the 1980s the company had expanded overseas, first to New Zealand and then the US and UK, and was taking Americans and Britons on touring holidays Down Under. Its name changed from Australian Pacific Coaches to Australian Pacific Touring and when European and tours were added in the early 2000s, it was shortened to APT.
The next obvious step was into river cruising, so how fitting that I met Robert on a Rhine cruise. Rather than starting a new company, APT bought into AmaWaterways, a US company founded in 2002 by Rudi Schreiner and Kristen Karst. They were on the cruise with us for the christening of the new AmaKristina, along with Geoff McGeary and other APT execs. It was very special, like being part of one big happy family.
The original idea behind the partnership was for APT to introduce Australians to the wonders of river cruising in Europe. It has certainly done that, but these days you'll find plenty of Brits on its river cruises as well. Indeed, ROL Cruise is one of APT's biggest partners in the UK, selling its river cruises in Europe, India, Asia and even China.
Robert said: "When you cruise on APT's luxury river cruises, you are on an APT sailing that has been tailored to suit the Australians and British. They don't like tipping so we include it. It is high-quality river cruising with everything included in the price and that has really worked in the UK."
When Robert says 'everything' included, he is not exaggerating. Flights, UK and overseas transfers, drinks, Wi-Fi; you don't have to fork out extra for any of it. There is a choice of tours at no extra cost and a wealth of complimentary Signature Experiences that offer something just that little bit more special.
I cruised the Danube with APT earlier this year and enjoyed two signature experiences – a Mozart and Strauss concert in the opulent Palais Lichtenstein in Vienna and a journey on a replica imperial train to Salzburg. I'll write more about both in a future issue of Blue Horizons.
Others include Champagne, music and dinner at Namedy Castle, home of Princess Heide von Hohenzollern, for those cruising the Rhine, and dinner at Michelin-starred chef Paul Bocuse's restaurant, L'Abbaye de Collonges, in Lyon for those sailing the Rhône. Choose the Seine and you'll be treated to dinner and cabaret at the world-famous Moulin Rouge in Paris.
In Asia you might be sipping Champagne as the sunrises over Angkor Wat in Siem Reap or as it sets over the famous U-Bein Bridge in Myanmar. New next year, those cruising the Mekong will dine at APT Ambassador Luke Nguyen's restaurant Vietnam House in Ho Chi Minh City.
In 1996, APT launched a sister brand, Travelmarvel, which offers river cruises with slightly less-inclusive prices. I have been lucky enough to do two of these cruises, one on the Mekong in Vietnam and Cambodia, the other on the Ayeyarwady in Myanmar, and both were fantastic (and incidentally are also sold by ROL Cruise, as are Travelmarvel's European cruises).
Having dipped a toe in the water with rivers, APT has grown its cruise portfolio. It charters Ponant ships for cruises in the Australia's remote Kimberley region and owns 45% of Noble Caledonia and 50% of Botanica World Discoveries, an Australian firm specialising in botanical-themed touring holidays and cruises.
