Explore the most popular Cities in Magallanes with hand-curated trail maps and driving directions as well as detailed reviews and photos from hikers, campers and nature lovers like you.
couldn't help go up Cerro Crystal instead. amazing. why would anybody do anything else?
I wasn't a big fun of hiking, neither had many experience in past. The only hard trail I did before W was the old rag trail in Virginia. Very happy I got survived after 5 days. Because we walked from east to west, the most difficult part was day 1 getting close to the Torres. My knee and every piece of muscle was so hurt next morning because I didn't use the walking sticks to help get off from the top. I felt I could walk a few more days at last day when returned to Paine Grande from Glacier Grey. It's an awesome experience and everyone should try if their physical allows!
Great hike with stunning payoff but given the weather conditions and challenging elevation gain, particularly in the last kilometer or two of this trail, I would rate it as difficult.
Took in most of the boardwalk, the upper and lower decks, and both welcome centers. Very nice layout, I was surprised I walked over 3.5 miles with a nearly 1,000' elevation gain. Spectacular glacier, about 100 square miles in area and you can see a lot of it as you climb the boardwalk. It calves often, moves, sounds like a 45 pistol sometimes, fireworks other times, then giant chunks cleave off. Really cool and really wide. One of the few glaciers that is growing some although it's getting thinner. A must see.
Many other reviewers have summarized great tips so I'll just summarize my unique ones: I tried to find information about hiking W when pregnant, and could not find it so I hope to help other adventurous moms-to-be: I was 20 weeks when we finished W (3 weeks ago). The most difficult part was, needless to say, up to Mirador Torres... other personal take aways: 1) hiking poles an absolute must. Never hiked with poles before but with the difficult terrain this was the best thing I could do - also took some strain off my hips and knees. 2) Light packing: we stayed in refugios and fully equipped tents and it was great. 3) Have a hiking partner who can help you - my husband carried even my daypack with just layers and camelback uphill - even a couple kilos extra brought my pulse up very fast hiking uphill so without his help I am not sure it would have been doable 4) plan your energy meticulously - pregnancy is exhausting in itself so don't run out of energy!! Plan all of your snacks and water (I doubled the usual amount of snacks and water and consumed it all) and REST when body tells you to rest, can be a deal breaker. I usually push through pain, but being pregnant this is not what I recommend 5) be fit pre-pregnancy - if you are trying to conceive and the W seems overwhelming - don't try when pregnant, it's about twice as tough when growing a human is also in progress. 6) don't have anxiety over water quality - I was sleepless the first night because my husband forgot to pack the water filter and bottled water here is not an option (dr's recommendation) but the water is super pure and I was fine! A lot of minerals in the water, so stomach might be upset first days but nothing to be anxious about. 7) don't waste time looking for technical hiking maternity gear when preparing - it is ridiculous but there is none so I simply went to REI and sized 2 sizes up for pants and one up for upper body clothing. Be prepared for all seasons in day! Other than that... Mirador Torres is absolutely breath taking and worth every step! The W is world class! We were lucky and had 3 sunny warm days and one with high winds/hail/rain/sun all in one day! We hiked west to east. Gotta love Patagonia!!
The most beautiful hike I have ever done. Glacier water is plentiful, so is the serenity of the trek.
Amazing hike. It's an easy hike without the winds. We had 80km/hr winds hitting us and that was the most difficult. We were here on Jan 2018 and we were told that during their winter, there's less chances of wind but it'll be colder with snow. U get to see the view of the horns, base Torres and different peaks at the top - weather permitting. Your first view will be the amazing waterfall. Warning: This place would not be recommend for little kids because winds would absolutely blow your kids away! :)
Just finished this one today. We started at Hotel Torres and finished at Hotel Grey. We had one day of fantastic weather, one day of good weather, and two dark, cloudy days. We were lucky that the long, amazing hikes (Hotel Torres to Mirador Torres and Refugio Cuernos to Mirador Britanico) fell on the good weather days. I'm sure getting perfect weather on all four days would be a mind-blowing experience, but just the two good days made this an epic experience that surpassed our best hikes in Canada, Norway, New Zealand, etc. This hike is a beast, but well worth the effort!
Of the 3 main W hikes this is the least challenging in my opinion. It's a great hike that will take the entire day if you go out and back. If you hike 2km past Refugio Grey you will hit a pretty neat suspension bridge. Make sure to go to the Mirador as you'll get a great view of the glaciar.
I visited Patagonia with a friend 3 years ago and we did only a day trip/hike to Base Torres. It was the most beautiful nature hike of my life and I knew I had to return. So I did and I just completed the W 2 days ago and it was absolutely worth every joint pain and aching foot. We started at Paine Grande and hiked east, ending at Base Torres. I would recommend this direction as it gets better visually as you go, although the hikes increase in intensity. A few insider tips: Bring cash to the park. The park takes only cash for entry and the boat to Paine Grande accepts only USD or Chilean pesos. There is no atm and no alternative. Bring hiking poles. We didn't and wished we had. Also, a camelback water bag is helpful. A lot of folks used water bottles, but it seemed quite annoying for them. Bring sunscreen and a poncho. Stay in the Refugios. They are nice and it's great to sleep in a bed and take a hot shower after a long hike! On this note, we brought sleeping bags and pads, but they weren't really necessary. Pay extra to have a made bed. At Frances and Torre Centro the bed was already made. We wished we had not brought them. The suspension bridge north of Grey is cool, but the 2km to get there is difficult. If the weather is nice, don't stop at Mirador Frances. The trek to Británico is less than an hour, not terribly difficult and you go mostly through the woods, so the winds at Frances are not indicative of the rest of the path. I write this because a lot of people turned around at Frances due to the strong winds and rather grueling initial hike up. Británico with clear skies is a site to see. Stay at the Frances Domos if you have the chance. The beds are large, there's 8 beds to a domo, but 2 showers and 2 baños (this would be unlike Paine Grande where there's 3 stalls and 4 showers for 100 guys). There's also electrical outlets right in the Domo beds. And you can get to know your bunk mates at a bit of a more intimate level if desired. We celebrated New Years Eve there and it was a blast. Check the weather before you wake up at 2am to hike to Base Torres. It's generally overcast in the morning, and tends to clear up mid to late morning. Dozens of people at Torre Centro hiked up in the freezing cold at 3am to see nothing. On our last day it was crystal clear at daybreak so it certainly can be worth it. Just make sure before you lose sleep, breakfast, your bed (checkout is 9:30am and the hike takes 6-9 hours) and you bag lunch! The cheapest beer and wine is at the transit center just east of Torre Centro. This is a good hack for anyone staying at Hotel Las Torres and wants to buy a bottle of wine and not pay 2x more.
Simply amazing view at the top. Interesting if unspectacular hike most the way. Mostly easy under foot, albeit last 1km to the summit has plenty of uneven boulders to walk over. Also can be VERY windy. Trail closed if over 80kmh
my brother and I are grew up in Colorado and now both live on opposite coasts. we assumed the hike would take us 8 hours round trip. But having the Coloradan inside of us we moved at a quick pace and scaled up the trail. It took us 2.5 hours to get to the top. the last 1/4 of the trail has larger rocks and is sandy, but there was a clear trail always and the rocks were not anything that you had to scramble on to get around. we unfortunately did the hike on a cloudy/rainy day and the towers were covered when we made it to the lake. however, the hike was so worth it! so many beautiful views, the river was a beautiful color and the lake was outstanding! pack layers because it gets windy at the top!
great trek! w is quite busy though, prepare for extreme weather changes. everything from shorts and a t shirt to multiple layers of thermals can be needed as the weather changes throughout the day! completed in 7 days and would reccomend to anyone looking for a trek that is quite challenging with the possibility of cheat here and there. every campsite has food to buy which is tough to turn down sometimes after a long day
I've been blessed to have hiked Yosemite, Glacier Park, The Grand Canyon, Sequoia and other National Parks, but none can be compared to Torres del Paine. At times it is a combination of all, others it is so unique that you are just mesmerized by its beauty and contrasting topography. Because there are many videos on Youtube and similar websites on how to approach this, at times, challenging hike, I won't give you details, rather, I would like to give you some insight acquired from 2 trips to this incredible place: --Hike early spring to avoid crowds --Do take the west to east route as it builds on its beauty and accomplishment --Book campsite on line and ahead of time. You will be turned back if no reservation. Reserve/buy all necessary tickets (especially for the catamaran) on line --Listen to weather related warnings and be ready for all temps and wind conditions --Trails well marked except for some critical "forks in the road". Know the trail ahead of time. --My 4 day hike suggestion unless "lodging". 1. Entrance to Catamaran across lake to Grey Glacier (camp) 2. Grey Glacier to Campamento Italiano (camp) Up to Valle del Frances. 3. Campamento Italiano to Refugio Chileno to Campamento Torres del Paine. 4. "O dark thirty", with head lamps, climb last mile to Torres and watch sunrise on towers. Relax, enjoy, then return, break camp and head down to catch bus to Puerto Natales. I can guarantee you, you'll never forget this place! --
beautiful hike but very steep trail. Come prepared as weather can change unexpectedly.
Awesome hiking adventure, completed the W trek east to west, incredible scenery and mind blowing vistas. I even did the Chileno to Torres mirador sector twice due to bad weather.
I have hiked a lot through Yosemite and the W is comparable to anything you'll see there. The big difference is you have to earn the W! The views are incredible and worth every drop of sweat. I lucked out and visited during a perfect weather break. In Patagonia you get the weather you deserve, I guessed I deserved great weather! You will never forget doing this, likely be greatest hike of your life, it was mine!
This was well worth the [very expensive and complicated] trip from Wyoming, USA! The views and experiences are incomparable! Every single day is too breathtaking to describe so I'm not even going to try. I'll just talk about the details that you'll want to know before you go, and the things you might not think about. And you should know that the W is not the "better half." It's just half. So if you're coming here do you just want to see HALF?!?! For one, something that surprised me (as an introvert who doesn't like to share the outdoors with anyone else) was that I made a lot of friends! We started with the O part and finished with the W, so the first half of the trip was a wonderful chance to truly bond with the group of people that was doing the hike alongside us. It's a one-way trek so the group remains consistent. And with the weather not always so great, and the mandatory group cooking area, there was a lot of community-building time and our group got so close! So even when we merged with the flood of people in the W, we stuck together as a group, hiking and eating and camping together. It brought all of us so much joy to share the experience - like being back in summer camp as a kid! And you'd miss this aspect if you only did the W. I guess some people would say this trek is sort of easy and that the elevation change is negligible. I would not. Just because there's little change in elevation from the departure to the destination doesn't mean that there's no hills all the way through! There's almost no flat areas. You're going either up or down pretty much the whole time, and sometimes it's quite a big hill. The hardest part was the pass between perros and grey. My muscles were screaming for days after that. And as expected, the britannica and Torres lookouts were also very steep. My legs hadn't recovered from the pass yet when we did britannica, so I wish we had planned one more night so the britannica day wasn't so long. We did the sunrise hike for Torres. They say it's 4.5 hours from central (where we stayed). We're pretty strong hikers and we packed light. We left by 1am and arrived at 4:30. That was perfect timing. We stayed for an hour (freezing to death) and it was totally majestic as the sky and the towers kept changing colors. TOTALLY WORTH IT. Apparently you're not allowed to night hike but just be discreet about it. There's no one guarding the trailhead or anything. Also, if you are in your own tent at central, the checkout is not til 6pm, so you can take a nap afterwards! (Checkout is 8am otherwise) Beware of the sun!!!! Apparently there's like no ozone down here so it burns you really badly. I'm Mediterranean and my husband is Asian, so we rarely wear sunscreen on our outdoor adventures. We paid for that with horrible peeling burns on this trip. Do not think you're immune to the Patagonian sun!! We drank straight from the sink and streams our whole trip and had no stomach issues or anything. I noticed that a lot of people were carrying the large backpacking backpack on their backs and a smaller backpack on their fronts. I can imagine that was horribly uncomfortable! I think the best way to do it is to pack minimally so all your stuff fits in or attached to your big backpack, and bring one of those small drawstring backpacks for like the plane and bus trips, and day hikes. That way you can just stuff it in the big one when you're not using it. Here's a rundown of the amenities you can expect at every campsite: (My husband and I brought our own tent, sleeping bags, and mats. In retrospect, I might have splurged for the stuff to be provided at each site. The tents were huge and nice, and the mats were obviously much more comfortable than the portable ones. And with the fatigue from all that hiking and the rain, it would have been nice not to set up camp every night and to have a comfortable mattress.) Seron: Soft grass for your tent Flushing toilets Sink Soap Paper towels Hot showers Garbage cans Dickson: Soft grass for your tent (sometimes) Flushing toilets Sink Soap Hot showers (supposedly??) Garbage cans Electrical outlet Super nice cooking area with sink Perros: Wretched campground Hard packed dirt to put your tent on Flushing toilets Sink with no soap Cold showers No place for garbage You have to leave by 7am if you are hiking all the way to grey, and by 10am if you're just going to paso, to safely make it over the pass before the crazy afternoon winds. Paso: We didn't stay here but we passed through and it looked pretty wretched as well. The toilet is a gross drop toilet and there's no sinks. The cooking area is an open shed with rickety tables. You have to leave by 4pm if you're going to grey to safely cross the suspension bridges. Grey: Humongous camping area Really nice flushing toilets Sink with hot water Soap Paper towels Hot showers (only 5-9pm) Garbage cans The Refugio is a really nice place to hang out Paine grande: Very crowded steep and windy hillsi
Ubicado sobre el Lago Argentino, en la provincia de Santa Cruz, en Argentina, se encuentra esta maravilla natural. Hay varias opciones. se pueden recorrer distintos circuitos sobre pasarelas, muy fáciles de reconocer ya que están divididas por colores. Cada una nos muestra el glaciar desde diferentes perspectivas. Recorrer las pasarelas es un buen complemento a los minitrekking o big ice , caminatas sobre el glaciar.
You will spend a long time finding places more beautiful than this. Be prepared, the weather is highly unpredictable and can shift extremely quick. Wind was like nothing I have ever experienced except in a severe storm in the middle of Iceland. My party literally had to crouch and hug the ground at times in order to not to be blown downhill. I highly recommend booking ahead of time, and if you are going to tent camp make sure your gear is top notch.
The mini-trek on the glacier is fabulous. Then views from the boardwalk give another perspective. I've been to glaciers in Alaska and Canada and nothing compares to this place!
Even with 85+km wind gusts or maybe because of them this was a great and exhilarating hike to a viewpoint that is nice but not awe inspiring. It's more on the easy than moderate side. Without wind it would definitely be easy. Starts with a pretty waterfall. Not at all crowded when we went in the late morning.
Breathtaking, amazing, absolutely perfect! We did the W for our honeymoon, and it was the most incredible journey. We hired a guide since we are relatively new to backpacking, but we agreed that it would have been easily completed without a guide. The hike was challenging, but honestly much less tiring than we anticipated -- granted we spent all summer training in the Cascades, which I'm sure helped. There is fresh water throughout the hike that is drinkable, so don't carry too much with you as there is no need. Other posters have stated this, but pack for EVERY WEATHER climate. There were days that went from rain, to show, to 75 and sunny -- sometimes within 2-3 hours. We went in early-November and had great weather, and could go hours on the trail without seeing a single person (even at the famous vista stops). I hear it gets crazy-busy in the summer, which wouldn't have affected our trip too much but it was so special feeling very isolated. Glacier Grey was our favorite day, so DO NOT skip the hike over the hanging bridges, no matter how scary that point may be :)
Basically a right-of-passage for my Chilean roommate. So happy I did this with him, hands down the most gorgeous place I have ever been to in all my years of hiking. Patagonia is a magical place! I am definitely going to do this again for a bucket list when I am older and have a family. Amazing place and people!
The wind was howling but that made it an experience. Take the time to do this. The view IS Torres del Paine!
Such an incredible hike! Did this unguided and solo for New Years Eve 2018! Highly recommend!
I recommend taking the red trail. It contains the lowest and closest views (as seen on my recording, not sure why it lapses). One gets a great perspective.

Martin Truex Jr. has champion next to his name. He's a two-time XFinity champ who just clinched the Cup series regular-season championship.
With the word champion comes certain responsibilities. Splitting hairs when it comes to cheating is not one of them.
In remarks to Motorsports, Truex tried to justify cheating by calling it "pushing the envelope" and giving the third-grader response of everyone does it.
And id anyone thinks this is a case of trying to twist his words, here is what he was quoted as saying:
"I think it's just sometimes you go too far. Sometimes things unexpected happen. Everybody in the garage pushes the rules. You have to to be competitive, you know, so labeling people cheaters for failing something minuscule is harsh and again it just sheds a bad light on our sport, you know, I think."
There was much more.
"It's frustrating as a driver and as a race fan though to see people just get so up in arms and so upset about something as small as some of the things that we've seen penalties come down for and accuse people of being cheaters. The things that get said about them is kind of way over the top and not really fair, and it's frustrating at times to see that, even if you're not on the receiving end of it."
There are a couple of things here. Rules are rules. There is no line between breaking a rule even a little bit versus breaking a rule a lot. That's like saying copying only a few answers from a test isn't cheating; or that you shouldn't get a citation because you didn't know you can't smoke in public place (in some cities).
The difference here is NASCAR teams know the rules, and as Truex himself said, everyone pushes the rules. So if you push the rules, knowing you have a chance of breaking them, it's all on you.
Denny Hamlin, who has been in the middle of the rule-breaking controversy after he had two wins encumbered at Darlington, said it best (paraphrasing here): It may have been minor and unintentional, but we broke the rules, and we have to live with it and move on.
He didn't try to split hairs on breaking the rules. And didn't because there's no justification for that.

A Guide to Responsible Gambling
When one loses control of their gambling habit, losing money is the least of their worries. One would be putting their entire personal well-being at stake, as well. The road to riches would only lead to ruin, but if one has to gamble, one must be able to do so responsibly.
The point of playing is, of course, to win. But one way to gamble responsibly is by preparing to lose. This is not to say that one should deliberately throw a game, just that one should keep track of their losses and set a limit for the amount of money that they are willing to lose. One should also set a limit for the amount of time they should spend gambling.
It's bad enough that one is spending all their money gambling; it's just wrong to gamble away other people's money as well. One should be considerate enough not to ask other people to lend them money for gambling.
If one simply must gamble, one should at least be responsible enough set aside a specific budget to be used for gambling. This way, one won't have to gamble away money meant for more important expenditures.
When one is gambling online, one should exercise an amount of self-restraint by getting up and walking away from their computer every so often to take a little break. This way, one won't be burning themselves out playing online non-stop, as well as giving them a moment to mull over their losses and consider whether it's still worth their while to continue playing.
Gambling isn't the only activity one can engage in when inside a casino. One can also practice their social skills rubbing elbows with the other casino patrons. It is still possible to have a good time without having to shell out a lot of cash for it, and spending some time with entertaining company can be just as rewarding as hitting the jackpot.
It is never a good idea to gamble when one is in emotional distress. A lot of anxious people would look at gambling as a means of relieving their tension, but the truth is it would lead to even greater problems, not the least of it being gambling addiction.
Finally, it would be wise for one to just accept that losing is a fact in gambling. If one continues playing with the odds stacked against them, in the hopes of winning back their losses, they would only risk losing more.
Instead of looking for that ever elusive system of mastering the games of chance, players should spend much more time in mastering their own zeal for gambling. As enticing as the rewards may be, one should never gamble their life away in the pursuit for financial gain.

We also have priced almost 800 used LPs in the last few days! Tons of killer stuff!
This week marks the 14th anniversary of Lunchbox Records being open. Thanks to anyone and everyone that has ever helped us, bought something, played a show, spread the word, and just supported us through the years. I honestly never thought I would make it this far and have year after year growth for all 14 years.
We opened on 11/25/2005 at a time when opening a record store probably made even less sense than it would today. A time before the "vinyl resurgence" when I just wanted a place that sold things other stores wouldn't despite their huge square footage, a time before you could buy every record on the internet, before force fed vinyl clubs came back, before every label (minus a few hardcore labels) presses every record on 5 different colors.
It's been a rough ride of ups and downs and successes, failures, good and horrible decisions, days of extreme glee and days of extreme self doubt and wanting to pack it all in but not knowing what else to do. This last year has been a real test of patience with distributor supply side issues but we are pushing along. The fact is that music has been a part of my life always since a very young age and I couldn't escape it if I tried. I love music and it's an enormous part of my life and I'm extremely grateful that I've been able to take that love and turn it into a job and something other people like and support.
Thanks to the people that helped me start it up- my parents and Jennifer for believing in me at the time and pushing me to do it. Kelly Keith, Rob Davis, Lisandro Herrera, Brett Green, Michael Muller, Courtney Devores, Taylor Knox, Bill Ennis, Alex Shaw and anyone else that has ever helped out on RSD, when we moved, or needed a hand.
I know I'm extremely lucky to have made it this far and that's what drives me each day to keep trying to make things grow and get better. Thanks for fourteen wonderful years. - come celebrate with us this weekend!
Also, be sure to visit us on Saturday for Small Business Saturday. Remember to #shopsmall and support local businesses, employees, and their families. The money you spend with local independent businesses makes a big difference no matter how small your purchase and your tax dollars stay in your city.
Our neighborhood and city have grown tremendously since we've opened but there are many people that live here that don't know there are stores like us around. Your word of mouth is the best thing we can ask for and before you order something online for the holidays remember that we will gladly order anything we don't have for no additional cost and most of our prices are cheaper than most places online. And of course we have thousands of albums in stock every day!
We don't do very many sales because I prefer everything to just be the cheapest we can sell it for in the first place, and sometimes that's a lot of extra work on our end but it's the right thing to do. We don't change our prices based on the day of the week or month of the year or some other circumstance that the largest monopolistic online stores do.
Small Business Saturday is promoted by American Express but we encourage you to spend cash if you really want to help out. Our single biggest expense after rent and inventory is credit card processing fees.
This year has been great and we thank you for you help, support, kind words, purchases, and general love. This is a job I love and look forward to doing for years and years to come. I decided this year to just do an 15% off sale to celebrate our anniversary. Thanks for everything and we hope to see you this weekend !

For the record, older Toshibas were notorious for poor quality (though, they did churn out some pretty good machines). I'd compare an old Toshiba to an old Daewoo. New Toshiba is much better, quite desirable too......on my old toshiba computer i had problems with it every week and it ran slow and just looked bad.
We should all be able to agree on this. Aren't we lucky that there are so many choices to meet our many different needs/desires?... you really can't go wrong with any brand or operating system. And each one has perks and downfalls.
I have the same opinion about iOS, Android, BB, and Windows Mobile. You can't go wrong with any of them and there are things to like and dislike about them all.
It gets even worse than that. Online only DRM...Didn't matter what computer. Couldn't use anything today. Cable was down most the day. Stupid latest greatest Adobe programs are base off internet access now. Good thinking there. Pay buy the month. Adobe, Comcast, you owe me a day.
Can't deny that. Microsoft and Sony aren't any better either. Both of their home game consoles were going to require to be online at all times...even to play single player games you own...Part of its Apples fault too. Maverick, doesn't like older CS Adobe programs. So much for the latest greatest upgrades. Got to live with it.
If I believed that, I'd be a Mac'er. I don't skimp on things that matter to me. So, if you buy a cheap PC, yeah you're going to get a cheap computer. But, you have the option of buying quality in either platform. But, even if you're willing to spend the bucks, you get more bang for them in a PC. Just a simple fact.They are expensive but its worth the money. You truly get what you pay for, pure quality.

Mark Cuban shared a little free financial advice to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle last week. Speaking on TMZ/Fox's upcoming special, "Harry & Megan: The Royals in Crisis," the Dallas Mavericks owner let it be known that he believes the freshly free couple could make "an ungodly amount of money" in their new life in Canada.
"As long as they stay authentic, as long as they limit their projects and don't try to sell everything and anything, then I think they are the new Obamas," remarked Cuban. Adding, "They will have such a valuable brand that they will be able to pick and choose whatever they want to do.... They're gonna be living the dream," Cuban said.
If you're wondering just how much that might be, remember that the former White House residents earned $65 million for their joint book deal with Penguin Random House, according to the Financial Times. Michelle's "Becoming" was the number one selling book of 2018, and there's a good chance that Barak's outpaces that whenever it hits shelves. More importantly, that number doesn't even begin to count the amount the couple has made from speaking engagements and the reported deal they inked with Netflix.
Whether the Sussexes end up penning book deals remains in question. But Ronn Torossian, CEO of 5W Public Relations, told the Daily Mail that the couple are inspired by the former American President and first lady. And Harper's Bazaar stated that it's "extremely likely" Meghan will write a book, since according to the magazine, she has "professed a love of writing in the past--don't forget she was a guest editor for British Vogue in 2019.
So are the royals worth as much as the Obamas? According to celebrity agent and chairman of London-based InterTalent Rights Group Jonathan Shalit, "they are 100% more valuable than the Obamas." The agent told The Associated Press as much and explained, "The Obamas aren't royal. They are."
Even if neither pen a book, the Sussexes are expected to pull in plenty of sums of cash no matter what they end up doing. Netflix and DIsney have both expressed interest in working with the royal couple.
Cuban explained the whirl that is already surround the couple just weeks after leaving their former life behind, "Harry and Meghan are incredibly marketable." Adding, "If either of them came on 'Shark Tank,' I wouldn't even wait for them to pitch. I'd be like 'I'm in. Whatever you want, yes,' because they're so marketable. It would be so easy to develop products and projects for them, with them, and around them."
Prince Harry is currently expected to have a net worth of around $40 million, while Meghan is closer to $2.2 million. Either way, expect both of their bank accounts to grow significantly in the coming years.

For the third year in a row, Coca-Cola and (RED) are launching a month-long campaign leading up to World Aids Day on December 1 to help raise awareness in Africa about HIV/AIDS. This year, the focus is on music.
"We're stepping up greatly our efforts because this year is really the tipping point in the fight against AIDS, and we're going to use the power of music to bring that message to a teenage millennial audience around the world," said Joe Belliotti, Coca-Cola's head of Global Entertainment, according to AdWeek.
The new initiative gives music fans access to four exclusive songs from Wyclef Jean and Avicii, Queen, Aloe Blacc and OneRepublic. A new song will be released each week, and the proceeds from each song's downloads through iTunes will be donated to (RED). Coke originally pledged $5 million to (RED) in 2011, and has added another $2 million more this year.
Every day, thousands of babies are either born HIV positive or contract the virus through breastfeeding, and this campaign encourages consumers to help "bring that to zero" and "share the sound of an AIDS-free generation."
Coca-Cola is also launching a dedicated platform where consumers can donate directly, and also enter a contest to win prizes including music festival tickets and VIP concert access.
Marketing partners include Shazam, Vevo and iHeartRadio. "We're really taking a very teen and millennial focus on how we're activating this," Belliotti said.
Coca-Cola and its partners hope to use the positivity and reach of these artists to help spread the word about 2015's UNAIDS strategy goals, which include sexual transmission of HIV reduced by half, universal access to antiretroviral therapy for eligible people living with HIV and zero tolerance for gender-based violence.
The slogan for this year's World AIDS Day is "Getting to Zero," putting the focus on eliminating the transmission of HIV to children during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
The first song in the Coca-Cola and (RED) is a previously unreleased track from Queen (featuring Freddie Mercury, who died of HIV in 1991) called, "Let Me in Your Heart Again."

Pre-Frankfurt deals for Romero, Goldsworthy and Bret Easton Ellis

A first venture into fiction for acclaimed historian Adrian Goldsworthy, a debut novel from cult zombie film director George A Romero and new titles from some of the world's most celebrated novelists – including Bret Easton Ellis and Haruki Murakami – are heating up the pre-Frankfurt Book Fair rights scene.

With the fair due to kick off on 14th October, Orion's deputy publishing director for fiction Bill Massey has acquired world rights in a new fiction series by Goldsworthy, set during the Peninsular war in Spain in the early 19th century, from agent Georgina Capel at Capel & Land.
Orion imprint Gollancz has also splashed out a six-figure sum on three-book fantasy series by debut novelist Elspeth Cooper, which associate publisher Jo Fletcher pre-empted from Ian Drury at Sheil Land.

At Headline, associate publisher Vicki Mellor has paid a rumoured $300,000 for UK, Commonwealth and EU rights in two novels by Romero – the director behind the film "Night of the Living Dead". The first novel, The Living Dead, will be published next July in hardback. "We are very aware that there is going to be an explosion of zombie novels being published over the next year, but we absolutely believe that we have the definitive novel from the one author that every fan of the genre will want to read," said Mellor. US publisher Grand Central is taking the book to Frankfurt.

Harvill Secker, meanwhile, has acquired what is expected to be one of the big Frankfurt books, Haruki Murakami's new novel 1Q84, for UK publication. Harvill publishing director Liz Foley bought UK and Commonwealth rights excluding Canada for Harvill – Murakami's longterm publisher – with Rachel Cugnoni to publish the paperback at Vintage. The agent was Karolina Sutton at Curtis Brown for Amanda Urban at ICM.

ICM is also selling foreign rights in Bret Easton Ellis's new novel Imperial Bedrooms, a sequel to his debut Less than Zero set 25 years later. Knopf is publishing in the US, and Picador has UK and Commonwealth rights in the novel.

Among independent publisher, debuts are also expected to make a splash at the Fair. Atlantic publisher and chairman Toby Mundy highlighted Snowdrops, which the publisher acquired UK and Commonwealth rights in recently. Atlantic bought the book, a debut by A D Miller, from Zoe Waldie at Rogers, Coleridge and White for a rumoured £65,000.

Mundy said: "It looks hot as hell. We would love to have [all] the rights because it looks like it will sell well - but the agency has them."

Waldie said she had received "offers all over the place", adding it was "almost our most significant title", having already sold into America, Canada and Brazil, with offers on the table from publishers in France, Germany Italy and Norway.

Canongate is aiming high with its recent Philip Pullman acquisition, an addition to the publisher's Myths series entitled The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ. Andrea Joyce, associate rights director, said she hoped to sell to at least 30 territories, having already sold to Australia, Brazil, Canada and the US. The company also has high expectations for the forthcoming Dan Rhodes novel Little Hands Clapping.

Meanwhile Quercus is planning for its biggest rights-selling fair in some years, with three major titles being touted, for which the publisher owns all rights including film. All three of the titles are debuts - a horror novel, entitled The Leaping, a fantasy series called The Demi-Monde, and a novel "very much in the territory of Ian McEwan", entitled The Upright Piano Player.

Daniel Bouquet, head of rights, said: "It's been a while since Quercus has had anything this exciting – we didn't have these big international projects with all the rights at London, so it's an exciting time."

I just finished reading a book titled Atomic Habits by James Clear. I loved it. It was a 'self-help' type book, but it wasn't dry and hard to get through and it wasn't filled with fluffy platitudes that don't actually help you create real change in your life either. It was interesting, and I actually took a lot of helpful information out of it.
The premise behind Clear's thinking on habits is that small changes compound into big results. Changing small habits that you do each day can lead to massive change in the future.
"Habits are the compound interest of self-improvement" – James Clear
Typically when I decide I have a goal I want to achieve, I focus almost exclusively on the goal itself. I just fixate on the end result. For instance, if my long term goal is to be a published author, I just think about the book that I'm going to write.
Clear thinks that instead of focusing on goals, I should focus on the system I need to create to reach that goal. The system is the habits that I need to master that will eventually lead to the outcome that I want.
Goals are the results that you want to achieve, but systems are the processes that lead to those results. Success will come when you ignore the goal and focus on your system.
So, say my goal is to be a published author. Instead of focusing on the end goal of having a published book, I should instead focus on creating habits that will help me get there. So my focus will shift to writing 20 minutes a day or posting one blog every week instead of writing an entire book. Eventually, the small habits will add up to my end goal.
Whether your goal is to save money, or buy a house, or lose weight, or be a better friend, or write a book, or finish school, or whatever else it may be, this logic works.
If your goal is to save an $1,000 emergency fund, don't focus on the end amount and stress about how you're going to make it there. Look at your daily spending and find $10 a day that you can cut out somewhere. Put $70 a week in your savings account. In roughly 3 months you'll have your emergency fund saved and it won't have even been that painful. Plus, you'll have realize you can cut your spending.
If your goal is to be a better friend, set aside 10 minutes a day to reach out to a friend and let them know you're thinking about them. Set aside one night or day a week to have dinner with a friend.
If my goal is to write a book (which it is), I need to start by setting aside 15 minutes a day to write. Once I get that down, my next habit will be to post at least one blog per week. After that, my next habit will be to post two blogs per week. And so on until these little habits add up and I accomplish my goal through the system I've created.
If your goal is to lose 50 lbs, don't focus on the end goal of being 50 lbs lighter than you are right now. How are you going to do it? 30 minutes of exercise each day? Cutting out soda? Eating your recommended serving of fruits and vegetables every day? Whatever it is, pick a small habit to start with. Master that habit, and move on to the next one. Rinse and repeat. Eventually, these small habits will add up to a healthier lifestyle and the weight will come off without you even focusing on the scale. Zoom in to the details and quit focusing on the end result.
Clear's advice is that the first habit should take no more than 2 minutes. He gives an example of the book of someone who wants to start running. The first habit to master is to put on your running shoes. That's it. Don't even go for a run. Once you have that down, then run for 5 minutes. No more. Once you have that down, run for 10. You get the point.
Another example he gives is someone who wants to start working out. The first habit for this person was to go to the gym, stay 5 minutes and then leave. Don't even work out. Once you have getting to the gym down, then you can start working out while you're there.
Mastery requires patience. We are conditioned in our society to want quick results. We enjoy instant gratification in a lot of areas. Delayed gratification is more rewarding in the long run, but that's harder to keep in mind when forced with a choice between the two.
Often success that is achieved quickly is not success that will last.
I can't think of one 'lose weight fast' program that actually helps you lead a healthy life and keep weight off. A diet that is not sustainable long term is not a diet that you should be following.
If I somehow wrote a book now and got it published, I wouldn't actually see long term success because I still wouldn't have the habit of writing every day and getting the practice I need to improve.
The most powerful outcomes are delayed. Whenever someone has a "breakthrough moment" – a hit song on the radio, a viral blog post, a published book, winning a competition – you don't see all the work they put in to get to that point. Writing a new song every week that doesn't get any attention, posting countless blogs that gets less than 50 views, countless hours spent at a computer writing drafts and editing, endless training sessions and early mornings and late nights and sacrifices and hard work. Breakthrough moments are the result of small habits that compounded.
Reward is on the other side of sacrifice. You have to be able to release your desires instead of satisfying them. For me, I need to be able to release the desire to watch TV or scroll on my phone rather than sit down and write. I need to be able to release the desire to order pizza instead of cooking healthy at home. I really need to release the desire to binge eat chips and salsa when I'm not actually hungry. Self-control is difficult because it isn't satisfying.
If you want results that last, you have to never stop making improvements.
Decide what your process is going to be. Put in the work. Let the small habits compound. Achieve your goal. Reflect, review, and do it again for the next goal.
Atomic Habits by James Clear is a great read and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in leveling up their life. This article is inspired by the book, my thoughts after reading the book, and the notes I took while reading the book. If you want to see more from James Clear, he has a website with valuable resources.

The Matrix Enhances the Effectiveness of Corridors and Stepping Stones
Conservation strategies often call for the utilization of corridors and/or stepping stones to promote dispersal among fragmented populations. However, the extent to which these strategies increase connectivity for an organism may depend not only on the corridors and stepping stones themselves, but also on the composition of the surrounding matrix. Using an herbivore–host‐plant system consisting of the planthopper Prokelisia crocea and its sole host plant, prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata), we show that the effectiveness of corridors and stepping stones for promoting planthopper dispersal among patches depended strongly on the intervening matrix habitat. In a low‐resistance matrix (one that facilitates high rates of interpatch dispersal), both stepping stones and corridors promoted high connectivity, increasing the number of colonists by threefold relative to patches separated by matrix habitat only. The effectiveness of stepping stones and corridors was significantly lower in a high‐resistance matrix (one that promotes low rates of interpatch dispersal), with stepping stones failing to improve connectivity for the planthoppers relative to controls. Thus, we conclude that the matrix is an integral component of landscapes and should be considered together with corridors and stepping stones in strategies designed to increase dispersal among fragmented populations.
