Best Combat Flight Simulators for Your Personal Computer
What is a flight simulator or "flight sim"? While it's a video game, it is also so much more. A flight simulator resembles the cockpit of an aircraft and shows computer-generated images of what would be a pilot's view.
With so many flight sim options these days, it can be hard to decide what flight simulator, combat sim, or flying games to buy. You certainly can't always rely on advertisements. You can, however, rely on my opinion. I have nothing to gain by reviewing and recommending what I consider to be the best value flight simulators available for a PC (personal computer). Here I go over:
- Strike Fighters 2
- IL-2 Sturmovik
- Flaming Cliffs 2
- Flaming Cliffs 3
- DCS Black Shark
- DCS Black Shark 2
- DCS A-10C Warthog
- DCS World 2.0
- Rise of Flight
- IL-2 Cliffs of Dover
- Wings of Prey
- Falcon BMS
. . . And some expansion packs.
Strike Fighters 2
Strike Fighters 2 (SF2) and its expansions cover a vast period of time and give access to the best planes on both sides of some major conflicts in recent history.
Who Programs and Designs Strike Fighters 2
This small team (Thirdwire) actually deserves more publicity, so please check them out. They are supported by a wonderful community of "modders" that create everything from scenery, planes, and entire campaigns.

IL-2 Sturmovik
This one is huge! With IL-2 Sturmovik, we'll go back a few years into World War II and some planes that never left the prototype stage. The game is almost entirely propellor-driven planes, with a few early jet and rocket examples. Its sequels—Forgotten Battles Ace Expansion Pack, Pacific Fighters, and 1946—all contain 347 aircraft, with over 250 of them flyable ones.
Why I Love IL-2 Sturmovik
The best thing about this sim is that even though it's an oldie, the community has kept it alive through mods and new campaigns. The number of planes keeps increasing with new maps all the time.
Some of the biggest mods are truly works of art. It would be a crime not to look at Ultrapack, Dark Blue World, and HSFX. These not only add new planes, campaigns, and maps, but they can also dramatically improve the slightly aging graphics—beyond all imagination!
You can mod in a smaller way by visiting "Mission4today" and registering. There, you'll find patches, many user-generated missions, and even full story scripted campaigns.
Where Can You Buy IL-2 Sturmovik?
Where can you get it? While it may sound like it's going to cost a fortune, you can purchase it from STEAM for under 10 euros! Or, if you need the security of a physical disk rather than a digital download, try Amazon.
This truly is one of the greatest flight simulators you can buy for your money.
IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles Add-Ons
More and more add ons are being created and integrated with this amazing combat flight sim including Battle of Bodenplatte, Kuban, Flying Circus for you WWI lovers and the Battle of Britain soon to come. They have even created a tank warfare DLC. There is something for everyone!
More recently, the creators of WWI simulator Rise of Flight released IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad, closely followed by the Battle of Moscow. Cheap they are not, but the value represented is amazing!
Graphically, this is s stunning title. What I love about IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles is that it caters to newer players as much as the hardcore simmer crowd. There is a robust and lively multiplayer element as well.
Planes Available in IL-2 Sturmovik
As you might expect from the titles, there are predominantly German and Russian planes offered. Air to ground and air to air are both represented and a full mission editor is included in the deal.
The campaigns are simply brilliant in my opinion. There are so many small details that show a real love of the genre and the history of these battles. Truly a next-generation combat flight simulation, you owe it to yourself to jump headfirst into this great sim.
Modern Sims
Below are some brand new, up-to-date, modern sims!
Lock On Flaming Cliffs 2, DCS Black Shark, DCS Black Shark 2, and DCS A-10C Warthog
DCS and Eagle Dynamics are the new ones to watch out for in the world of combat flight simulators.
DCS and Eagle Dynamics
These are somewhat more "hardcore" sims — as in they are going to take a lot of time to master. However, they both have an easier arcade mode to get you going. Also, graphically, they are absolutely astonishing! Both are so much more worth your money than certain other sims.
Over the past couple of years, we have also tried DCS Black Shark, DCS Black Shark 2, and Lock-on Flaming Cliffs 2.
DCS Black Shark and DCS Black Shark 2
Black Shark covers helicopter warfare from the Russian perspective and lets you fly the Kamov KA-50 attack helicopter. It's rough, tough, low, and slow, but this thing handles like no other! Black Shark 2 is also now available, improving on the original in every way.
Flaming Cliffs 2
Flaming Cliffs 2 gives you access to the A-10 Warthog (one of my favorites), the F-15 Eagle, Su-27, Su-33, Su-25, Su-25T, MiG-29 and MiG-29S. A10-C is the third sim available right now—it is an extremely accurate simulation of the latest generation A-10.
Flaming Cliffs 3
Flaming Cliffs 3 is Flaming Cliffs 2 improved in every way possible. However, this also comes at a premium cost to those who have tried every version.
Flaming Cliffs 3 is now no longer a stand-alone simulator. Rather, it has been fully integrated into the DCS world. It's a full combat simulation that allows control of land and air assets, and is also in a multi-player facet! Is it worth the expense? I think so.
DCS World 2.0
DCS World is the latest update to the DCS series and there is a lot to cover! Think of it as a DCS hub of sorts, where all the DCS modules integrate. Also available is the Nevada test range, adding hundreds more square miles to the game.
Add to this additional mission and campaign modules and you really do have a lifetime of flying to absorb yourself in.
How Much Does DCS World Cost?
The DCS World 1.5 edition is free and includes the Su-25T and TF-51D aircraft and a huge swathe of Georgia to fly around and blow stuff up in. That said, this is really quite hardcore, especially the additional modules.
At around $50, the modules are not cheap. Perhaps best to pick one or two and really learn to fly the plane and understand the systems.
What Aircraft Eras Can You Fly?
There are different generations of warplane and helicopter here, representing the 1940's right up until modern-day aircraft.
Rise of Flight
Rise of Flight is all about old school WWI bi- and tri-planes and also contains amazing damage models and graphics. There's also a feeling of really flying that many other sims are lacking.
Best Things About Rise of Flight
Best of all, there is a "free to play" model in place now, so you can try it before you buy it. They have recently added a career mode, field mods (think new sights, and so forth), and you can buy and add on as many or extra planes as you wish, or none at all.
What You Need to Know About Rise of Flight
You do need to invest some serious time to get the most out of this sim, and, of course, a fairly powerful PC. I would also recommend a decent joystick with a throttle. I personally use a Saitek X52, which is available from Amazon.
The multiplayer version is vibrant but somewhat hardcore. A lot of practice is needed before venturing into the online battlefields.
IL-2 Cliffs of Dover
IL-2 Cliffs of Dover, or CLOD for short from here on in. Where to start with CLOD? Well, it's a Battle of Britain era sim, raging across the southeast part of Britain—across the channel and into Northern France. You get to fly from both sides of this epic battle.
Controversy Around CLOD
This is was a controversial title at launch. The game was released in a completely unfinished state and few if any PCs were strong enough at the time to get more than 10 frames per second, rendering the game unplayable to most folk. However, with much thanks and gratitude to the community this game has gotten a whole new lease of life. A recent patch made CLOD Windows 10 compatible and the guys over at ATAG (the air tactical assault group) have released no less than four community patches that completely and utterly re-invigorated the game and made it a firm favorite of mine.
How Much Does CLOD Cost?
It's cheap enough, available on Steam. With the free community patches and even re-written campaigns, this combat simulator finally deserves a place in every armchair pilots library!
Wings of Prey
Wings of Prey is a flight simulator set in various theaters in World War II. This is the PC version of IL-2 Sturmovik "Birds of Prey."
Planes You Can Fly in Wings of Prey
In terms of the plans you can fly, there are the usual suspects, and some slightly more unusual ones as well. The campaign takes you from the White Cliffs of Dover to the Mediterranean, into Russia, and then through the invasion of Germany. This means that you get the pick of the best planes the Allies had throughout the war.
Best Parts of Wings of Prey
It has an "Arcade" mode, which gives you unlimited ammo, which makes it easier to shoot stuff. It also doesn't punish you with blackouts or redouts. There are a couple of other settings, so you can tinker with it and get the set up just right for your experience.
You also get a number of planes to crash and burn with and get shot down in. So, it's not a case of "Oh, bugger. I got shot down 25 minutes into a mission and now I have to start again." Unless of course, you want it to be, in which case, go for the simulator setting!
Falcon BMS
Wow! Talk about value for money. Falcon BMS is a free add on to the existing Falcon 4 combat flight simulator. Graphically, this one is amazing, it has a great illusion of speed, and is it chock full of complicated flight systems to learn!
Remember, the people making free add-ons are the heroes of the community, doing so much and asking nothing in return!
The only thing to bear in mind is you will need the original Falcon 4 to play.
In Closing
Thanks for reading! There is a lot of (hopefully) useful information here, and I try my best to keep it regularly updated.
Please remember to support the people who make the magic. Flight simulators are not as popular as they used to be. I accept that. However, if those of us who like to fly support the right people, then flight simulator production can continue.
What I have done in this article is to give my opinion on who to support, who not to support, and why they do or don't deserve it.
Please make sure your money goes to the people intent on keeping our hobby alive. Regardless, I hope you enjoyed my opinion on the best combat flight simulators!
Paul you should buy Clod on Steam it works well on 10 and now with DX11. Team Fusion has put together a good sim with much more on the horizon.
Many squads from old 46 and other sime shave found a home in the 1940 era simulation . It is not easy to learn but very rewarding once you get the hang of everything and Every squad out there will be glad to help you along. Great community and Strong support. Our squad TWC has a site you can visit with a forum and videos of actual game play www.twcclan.com. This this Simulation is in its second infancy with much more to come. Best 24 bucks you could spend for what you get! Salute: Fatal
and Warbirds?
All this isnt true
I have Windows 10. Found an OLD MS Combat Flight Sim, Europe Series in a box in the garage. Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0 compatible. Can't get it to function and would LOVE to fly again. Seems the program will load but won't support a Thrustmaster T-Flight Stick X. Should I find someone to beat it into submission or should I spend the $$ on a new Combat Flight Sim that will work on W-10 and support the joystick? And, if a new game is suggested (and I prefer the WW-II theater) is the IL-2 OK for a novice and old fart who is NOT computer savvy?
Thanks, Michael. I really enjoyed the read through your review. Need to get back to having some fun.
Aces High III
Nice list !
It's also important to know which sim has VR support :
DCS World
Il-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad/Moscow/Kuban
IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover (soon with DX11 support)
can you tell me the price - and whether it is windows 10 compatible?
Falcon 4.0 BMS
dcs has the a10c
also some servers will have the a10a which is used in flamming cliffs
Dan - get DCS on Steam - you can then get add ons. it is from the same makers of lock-on.
I was hooked on JANES USAF back in the day when I had a Win-XP machine. I now have Win10 and can't find any decent flight sim that has a relatively modern jet fighter in it. I particularly loved flying the A-10 against ground targets. Win10 compatibility is key. I know that Lock-On will not even boot up for me on Win10. (Bummer.) Any advice to offer?
Thanks, Michael!
Would it be possible to put links to these games? I didn't see any and I'm especially interested in CLOD that will run on Windows 10. I'm finally getting a powerful enough computer where I think these will run and I want to make sure I get the one that has the patches (or patches available). This would really be appreciated!
How is Warbirds doing these days? My favorite sim by far 15-20 years ago, with an amazing community.
DCS products are very buggy and inaccurate with the only exception of Ka-50. Every update causes more bugs than those that tries to solve.
Rise of Flight got biased and the crew nerfed a whole bunch of rotary engined planes to please the inline engines crowd. Some planes were ludicrous nerfed to the point of not being flying worthy. Don't waste your time with this game it unless you are not serious about competition, history and honesty. And they nailed the last nail to their coffin with it. The servers just emptied after. They did not take it seriously and not only disrespected the players who favored rotary engined planes, but they disrespected the legend those planes carried with them over the war.
DCS, best feel of flying with detailed physics, but the game is unfinished in terms of damage model and visibility for WWII planes. Gun effects, smoke and so on so forth is really poor, and this affects how you fly and pull the trigger. These effects are even less detailed than what you got with Combat Flight Simulator. It is a very good simulator for sightseeing and getting to know the plane. I have a few modules and never really got hooked by it because I am into dogfight. They don't seem to care about these issues and the game is already almost a decade old, so it will die with these problems.
Il-2 BOS has so many problems that would not fit in this post. No wonder its servers are always empty besides the Russian ones. It seems it did not impressed the US and Western Europe markets.
In fact, besides Cliffs of Dover that I never played (due to the bad rep), there is really no good combat flight simulator for piston driven planes out there. Who knows, maybe in the future.
Digital Integration's Tornado. But only if you (1) enjoy 1993 flat-shaded polygon graphics; (2) relish spending 1 to 2 hours planning a multi-plane coordinated mission, using the best Mission Planner ever, and 20 minutes flying the mission; (3) don't have a super rig PC to fly all those scrumptious flight sim games listed above by MM. Frankie "TornadoMan" Kam.
Been out of the sim world for some time.Just wondering if any of these new games give hard kills when you shoot.The one thing I hated about Il2 was that you could sit behind a Lagg3 pumping 20mm into it and they would just keep on and on.Also unless you flew in auto mode you could NEVER catch up with any other aircraft including the other 109's in your squad.
It would REALLY be nice which of these actually run on Windows 10, 8 etc etc.......
DCS World, Flaming Cliffs 3 and Falcon Top! The rest is arcade
I'm looking to find out what the best flying games are. I noticed there are a lot of games and a lot of opinions. I'm looking more towards arcade style games though, with multi-player LAN or split-screen (no online only). The following is a list of what I came up with thus far with a few sims added to make a more rounded collection. What would you consider to be the best arcade style flying games?
Ace Combat 4 (aka Distant Thunder)
IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 (V4.13.2) (SIM) (or BIRDS/WINGS OF PREY CE for ARCADE)
Crimson skies: High Road to Revenge
Secret weapons over Normandy
Falcon 4.0: Allied Force + BMSv4.33U1 (SIM)
Snoopy Flying Ace
DCS: A-10C Warthog + Black Shark 2 (HARDCORE SIM)
CFS3 FirePower + Wings Over Flanders Fields (SIM) (turn all the realistic settings off for ARCADE)
These are some other games that could also be on the list:
AeroWings 2: Air Strike (SIM)
Birds of Steel (SIM/ARCADE)
Flight Simulator X GE (SIM)
Airfix Dogfighter
World of Warplanes
Tom Clancy's HAWX
Aces High. Extremely hard to master and a great community.
DCS World - 100% realism. It`s a best
Hello, Well I must saythat if you have not played Cliffs of Dover with the Team Fusion Mod you are missing outon one of the best sims out there.
Given the fact that it is a small theatre, the joy it gives flying multiplayer in large bomber formations being protected by fighter wings is a treat.
Up to 100 people playing at the same time, team speak for your squadrons, cannot get more real than that.
I have read so many content on the topic of the blogger lovers but this post is actually a nice post, keep it up.
Aces High. Realism and extremely good aircraft modeling. Hard to master but very satisfying.
I miss Air Warrior =[
Long Live Falcon 4.0 BMS
Aces High II. It's a great game. Right now it's having a graphics overhaul. I can't wait to see it when it's complete.
S Coogan
i am very good at flight sim. but i got a combat joystick yesterday and i want to know what is the most accurate flight sim is.
so which one is the best?
CLOD or Cliffs of Dover has been modded so heavily that it is currently KING of the WW2 flight sims.
I would LOVE you to try out version 4.0+ and review that! http://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/ is a good place to start
Personally I would recommend Aces High2.
By HiTech creations.
Open sandbox multi player hundreds on line fighting each other,taking bases,fighting in ground vehicles over vast terrains.
Amazing flight models for a vast choice of WW2 aircraft. Its difficult to begin with but any thing good always is.
It has a great community of worldwide souls from all walks of life.
if you want to pit your wits against other human foes in WW2birds this game is for you.
Try it . I bet you'll like it and it's free for practising and then free for 2 weeks in the main arenas.then a monthly fee which is great value for money.
I don't know why it's been overlooked in this review because it out classes all the other games listed above.
See you in the skies
Salute JimmyC
It is not a plane, but the best one ever made is " Janes Longbow 1 and 2"
Cool stuff
The best flight simulator is Tom Clancys H.A.W.X.
Free multiplayer driving and flight simulator. Explore realistic locations, drive around and meet people. Built with Google Earth API.
hi what about
J.A.S.F - Janes Advanced Strike Fighters?
Andreas and those of you interested in a real simulation PC driven only true physics true hit boxes and damage modeling air combat simulator, then look no further than Cliffs of Dover. I am not a salesman but it is $10 and there is no jump into instant action you must spend time just learning to get a plane in the air. Combat pilots learn to fly first.I bet a full 95 out of 100 of you reading this won't get in the air your first honest try, for it is a simulation first and a combat simulator second.Wonderful support from the community and many squads to join in and fly like it was done in 1940 no icons no moving maps wind turbulence all the effects and beautiful to fly and when you think your ready put on your big girl pants and come get some in the axis vs allies server ::S::
I am surpriced that you didn't mention War Thunder? easily the best Flying Sim ever!
How come OFF (Over Flanders Fields) was left out. Unlike Rise of Flight, OFF got the WW1 air war story line right historically plus great planes and scenery.
I have both flaming cliffs 2 and il2 1946, but if I had to pick, it would be 1946 for sure. The modding community is great, and it's free multiplayer. I would guess that I have about 400 fly able aircraft. Deffinantly the best sim I have ever owned.
cliffs of dover WWII with the new team fusion mod...brillant
Try out this one guys, im sure that you you will not be disappointed http://storify.com/AirWaspTornado/new-wwii-tactica...
I am looking for any (real) flying sim with a great online experience, be that airplanes from today or the WW2 era.. I am happy with WT but I do feel that there's something missing and that they may be a bit off when it comes to realism, like you just said. Any help here will be much appreciated and to me, online combat is very important, going back to fighting AI just won't cut it for me.
Andreas (AceRevo @ Warthunder)
What you think of warthunder?
You guys should check out Star Citizen. A AAA PC space sim with dogfighting that is being entirely funded by crowdsourcing!
Hi people !
really good site ! Nice an civilized discussion and excellent reviews. Thanks !
OH, and Total Air War 2. Free. I don't run it quite as often as I used to, but that's worth checking out, as well. Flaming Cliffs is cool, but never really holds my attention as much as the study sims.
Fixed Wing:
Falcon BMS... Fantastic. You could get everything you want here. Perfect stereoscopic. Great avionics. Flight model that is among the best.
DCS A-10... Don't have it, but haven't heard anything bad about it.
And Janes FA-18 still has what it takes and might eventually get 32bit color support.
DCS Blackshark 2... strange channel damping characteristics and quirky yaw, but best flight model for a combat helo sim.
Comanche Gold. Dumbed down and miniaturized version of everything, but doesn't do anything terribly wrong.
LB2 is too glitchy on modern systems and the rockets don't work right. Not really worth it, unfortunately. Fun if you have a lot of time to blow and you don't mind CTDs and losing your game. Shallow but inoffensive modern AC/AH flight model.
And then EECH is waaay down on the list, in spite of all their avionics and eye candy mods. The flight model is terrible on it, possibly worse than on the original release, and the terrain is a spoofed 2D format that can't do stereo. Arneh's wheel suspension is notable, though. EE2 fixes the graphics but keeps the terrible flight model. It's amazing that even with the source code being available, no one has ever improved the root coding of the flight dynamics.
All good stuff but I like World War II online to be honest. It has something none of these games have, and that is you can fly axis and allied fighters, bombers, and transport aircraft, in an immersive compbined arms fight, against ground units, against other fighters, providing CAS/CAP in a very large map (europe). Most flight sims are sandbox, and may offer some limited multiplay, but nothing like what an MMO can deliver. So for me it's still World War II online in terms of simulators.
You missed the best combat flight simulator there is: Aces High 2. Its multiplayer and its costs 15 a month but its aircraft are modeled on the real flight characteristics of ww2 planes. It is addictive and hard but satisfying. There is a free 2 week trial.
If you're reading this…you should try Flightgear for FREE :) Helpful tutorials available at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Helpful-Tutorials-fo... as well to help you get started!
Strike Fighters looks delicious. I always had some interest in IL2 and MS Flight Simulator X. However, my mid range PC doesn't allow me to enjoy it the way i want to.
Thanks for a great article, ill certainly keep these titles in mind.
I'll second your opinion. I made the mistake of falling for the ProFlightSim ad, and then found out they were just re-packaging FlightGear. Not only that, but their "4 bonuses add up to more than $530 in retail", are all free downloads on the internet. I'm in the process of getting a refund right now...
Thanks for the advice and the warning! Plenty of cheaper options by the looks of it

Singer Song writer and multi-instrumentalist Carmen Souza has emerged from the Cape Verde area with an interesting approach to music. Breezily mixing jazz and Cape Verdean music she's established herself as part of a new generation of artists seeking to expand their horizons beyond there homeland. Her latest album Kachupada is an intriguing prospect that I'm not too sure of.
While Souza undoubtedly is talented and I really wanted to like Kachupada because of it's jazzy overtones I'm just not sure I can. The problem lies with Carmen's vocals; they're just a little to weird for me. What do I mean by that? Well Carmen seemingly talks her way through the songs here in an almost mousy and kind of creaky voice that's just a bit unsettling. It was just a bit too much for me to deal with and it kind of ruined the breezy feel of the record.
While musically Kachupada was a nice record it was just a bit to difficult to overlook Souza's vocal presence. Sometimes it just works out that way and while I have no doubt that she's hugely talented Kachupada just was a little to unusual for me.

Both battles were important, perhaps signaling what Winston Churchill called in reference to World War II, "the end of the beginning," but the defeat of Gen. Robert E. Lee by Major Gen. George G. Meade at Gettysburg, Penn. has long gotten more ink than the considerably longer siege of Vicksburg.
One thing I didn't know: John Clifford Pemberton (1814-1881) was a Yankee by birth, a Pennsylvanian married to a Southerner, who cast his fate with the Confederate army, the mirror image of native Virginian Gen. George H. Thomas, "The Rock of Chickamauga" who stayed loyal to the Union side. Pemberton graduated from West Point in 1837 and, like many of the Civil War generals, was a veteran of the Mexican War.
Continuing the series that began with last year's "A Blaze of Glory", the story of Shiloh (my review:http://www.huntingtonnews.net/33668) Jeff Shaara returns to chronicle another chapter in the war that killed or wounded more people than all the other wars fought by Americans, the Civil War.
In "A Chain of Thunder: A Novel of the Siege of Vicksburg" (Ballantine Books, 592 pages, 14 maps, $28.00), the action shifts to Vicksburg, dubbed the "Gibraltar of the Confederacy" because it controlled navigation on the Mississippi River, most of which was in Yankee hands.
The defeat of the rebels at Vicksburg decided for all time the fate of Major Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, as well as that of Gen. William T. Sherman -- and all but sealed the fate of the rebel cause.
In May 1863, after months of hard and bitter combat, Union troops under the command of Major General Ulysses S. Grant at long last successfully cross the Mississippi River. They force the remnants of Confederate Lieutenant General John C. Pemberton's army to retreat to Vicksburg, burning the bridges over the Big Black River in its path. In a preview of things to come the next year in Georgia, much of Jackson, Mississippi's capital, was torched.
After sustaining heavy casualties in two failed assaults against the rebels, Union soldiers are losing confidence and morale is low. Grant reluctantly decides to lay siege to the city, trapping soldiers and civilians alike inside an iron ring of Federal entrenchments. Six weeks later, the starving and destitute Southerners finally surrender, yielding command of the Mississippi River to the Union forces on July 4—Independence Day.
As he did in "A Blaze of Glory" and previous books, Shaara masterfully weaves in the stories of civilians, like 19-year-old Lucy Spence of Vicksburg and her friends and young German-American Pvt. Fritz Bauer of Milwaukee, and his fellow soldiers, who were also in "A Blaze of Glory."
If you've read about the static trench warfare of World War I, much of the narrative of "A Chain of Thunder" will remind you of those grim accounts, with the dead stacked up on the battlefield, often for days at a time in the steamy Mississippi summer. The portrayal of the residents of Vicksburg burrowing into the hillsides to escape the shelling are unforgettable.
On one side stand the emerging legend Grant, his irascible second Sherman, and the youthful "grunt" Private Fritz Bauer from Milwaukee, Wis.; on the other, the Confederate commanders Pemberton and Joseph Johnston, as well as nineteen-year-old Lucy Spence, a civilian doing her best to survive in the besieged city.
"A Chain of Thunder" is historical fiction with a sound basis in fact at its best. I recommend it without reservation.

As the summer progresses, we were pleased to welcome our members and friends to join us at an informal play reading evening at The National Archives on Wednesday. Attendees were shown around The Events Space and were treated to a stellar performance directed by experienced member, Laurie Coombs and starring Genni Trickett, Elizabeth Parker, Mia Skytte, Polly Beauwin and Alison Arnold. Considering only 2 (and a half) rehearsals were undertaken, we were all overwhelmed by the excellent performance and people were excited to experience our new space first hand for the first time!
Needless to say, the committee left full of ideas for staging our first full show, Three Bags Full, in November.
Also this week, new director Lily Tomlinson got started with rehearsals for her play reading on Wednesday 22nd August back at the Scout Hut. Although only 3/5 of the cast could be present, it was a great start to what looks to be a very funny evening. Get the date in your diary now!
Finally, after some interesting research into different versions of the play, we are pleased to announce that our second show at The National Archives will be The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, directed by Sarah Hill who recently appeared as Mrs French in Ravenscroft and has previously helped out with lighting and tech support at Q2 over the years. We are extremely excited to have Sarah on board to direct for us.
Don't forget that the read through and auditions for Three Bags Full are coming up and our AGM is on Wednesday 5th September too!
See you at the picnic on Sunday!

Judge Orders Refugee Compensation Case Live Streaming
Landmark Decision
The Landmark decision in the Manus island detention centre trial was not necessarily the size of the payout, but that Judge Michael McDonald ruled that the trial be live streamed – Link
The Australian Government has fought tooth and nail to lock down every scrap of evidence coming out of its off shore detention centres and much of the legal process for the case over the last two years have been around obtaining permission for various evidence to be submitted without criminal charges being laid. The government and attendant facility security providers continue to deny culpability despite agreeing to the settlement. Read More
So for Justice McDonald to rule that the case would be live streamed [ABC NEWS RADIO] in the interest of law students, the general public and other parties. This decision seems to have been far too much for a government intent on avoiding any scrutiny whatsoever.
To be clear – This trial was expected to last for at least 6 months and was settled in a little over two weeks. The government legal team has agreed to settle for this amount – which means that they believed that continuing the trial would be far more damaging and costly than the 20 million they paid to Slater and Gordon and the 70 million paid to the detainees.
The case would have delivered daily horrors of witness after witness testifying to systemic abuse, live streamed worldwide, reposted on Facebook and clipped on Twitter. Far too much negative publicity for a government that is hanging by a thread.
Current polling shows a 5% swing against the government. An election called now would result in at least a 13 seat swing against an embattled coalition. To have the entire body of evidence, some 200 witnesses and accompanying reams of documentation, paraded before the world would have cast an indelible pall on a government with an already shaky record around human rights.
Settlements are only made when in the interest of both parties to do so. And in many opinion columns the sentiment seems to be that the government has got off lightly.
When we crunch the numbers each of the 1905 inmates receives approximately $25 per day of incarceration. There are those who are claiming that this is far too little for the abuse and injustice faced by these refugees.
Avoiding a lengthy trial
Avoiding a lengthy trial has benefits for the plaintiffs as well – not having to submit to rigorous
questioning and reliving the horrors of incarceration. Also being able to move on as the future of the detention centres are in question and the refugees still must be housed somewhere.
The agreement to resettle refugees with the United States is now based on vulnerability of the refugees. Which in practice may mean that only women and children will be given refuge by the US. Manus Island is primarily populated by men. The PNG government is reluctant to accept the refugees as issues of safety hinder integration.
What happens now to the remaining refugees of Manus Island and Nauru is very much in question. Whether the payout of approximately $37000 per person will provide some pathway to a better life for these refugees remains to be seen.

Nowadays, many of our bus systems still rely on IP video surveillance, it is also a big field for our whole earth to develop vigorously. Many public transport systems are now using the latest IP video surveillance system to monitor the entire bus operation. The surveillance system requires a lot of IP surveillance 3G cameras. This is why 3G cameras can drive the development of public transport monitoring.
According to relevant project staff, the bus monitoring system was first invented by Private Companies, which runs the public transportation system. They originally designed such a system in order to protect their Sishourenyuan not by some criminals attack. After that, however, it slowly evolved into a monitoring mechanism. There is such a monitoring system, the lawless elements have converged a lot, so that the crime was also reduced.
Bus monitoring system is often connected with the operation and scheduling system. As a result, if the bus encountered a traffic accident is not afraid, they can adjust the departure routes in time, you can also contact the security center more quickly. If there are some problems with your passengers, you can also get in touch with the control room by using some phone calls from the system, thus better protect the passenger's personal safety
We usually have several 3G cameras installed on each bus, then the information in the car can be better stored. We can periodically transfer the stored information to our monitoring center when needed. This is also a major highlight of network monitoring, so we believe that under the impetus of 3G cameras. Our bus monitoring is sure to get better development.

Approaching Spirits with Respect
There is a certain degree of ethics and responsibility that must be considered when attempting to make contact with spirits. I firmly believe that you must approach all contact sessions with the utmost respect not only for any entities that may be present, but for the location. You must remember that the spirits you are potentially dealing with were once alive. These are In most cases people, who have passed on, and should be respected as you would a living breathing person.
You should take care to never be disrespectful of the space, artifacts or articles that may be present, or the spirit directly. A moment of disrespect could lead to a spirit that acts out in a violent or aggressive fashion, or one that simply refuses to continue to communicate with you.
Early in our production and work on this series we found ourselves in a incredible location. Naturally the crew was moving in and setting up large amounts of recording and transmission equipment, installing cameras etc. There were light interactions occurring behind the scenes between cast and crew. Comments were being made about the space and the artifacts in the location. Our first night saw limited activity and little communication. I sincerely feel that it was due in part to an initial disrespect of the space. I feel that the spirits present were uninterested in communicating with us because of how we approached their "home".
Often I will see other investigators really approaching the spirits in a particularly harsh or abrasive manner. While this may play to the "bad boy" tough as nails image of the investigators, it's just not practical. More over, its offensive in nature. Please, if you are trying to communicate with a deceased person regardless of contact method you're using, be respectful.
Consider this, at one point this was someone's family member. A grandparent, a mother, a father, a brother, a child. Think of your relatives who may have passed — how would you want them to be spoken to? More importantly how would you speak to them? Likely with love and respect. Mirror this in your communications.
Occasionally there is a spirit you may contact which will be difficult or aggressive. In these instances a strong approach may be necessary. The occasions in which this approach is taken are rare, and doing so, is at your own risk. Spirits can be powerful in nature, and you can never be sure to what degree a spirit that has been approached in an aggressive or disrespectful manner may react and lash out.
Always carry respect and love in your heart and your communications will not only be successful – but you will be able to know that you are approaching this work and the communication process in a manner that is responsible.

SOFIA (Bulgaria), January 11 (SeeNews) - More than half, or 56%, of companies in the Central and Southeast Europe (CSE) will actively pursue merger and acquisition (M&A) deals in the October 2017 - October 2018 period, a survey by global consultancy Ernst&Young (EY) showed.
In addition, 53% of top executives in CSE will actively pursue M&A in the period under review in order to increase market share, acquire innovation and move into new markets, EY said in its 17th Capital Confidence Barometer.
The survey was taken in September-October period among 141 executives from CSE. The respondents represented 14 industry sectors.
"Technology is the most common sector in which respondents see high convergence and blurring with their own. When talking about the top investment destination, the highest intention to pursue acquisitions seems to be in telecommunications (80%), technology (70%) and life sciences (69%)," the report reads.
Nearly half of senior managers stated that they plan to develop digital capabilities in-house, while one-third stated that they prefer hiring executives with digital expertise from inside or outside their industry. Twenty-nine percent of survey participants are willing to re-skill or train their employees to better respond to technology changes in the 12-month period.
According to survey results, however, organic growth remains the primary focus for 71% of CSE executives.
For 100% of regional executives who took part in the survey, the global economy is expected to stay at the current level or improve. They have similar expectations for the local economies.
The survey participants are also expecting mostly positive growth or stable development of corporate earnings, credit availability and equity valuations at the global and local levels.
CSE companies' main challenges were the impact of digital technology and transformation to their business model (27%), and increased competition from companies in other sectors (26%).

This is high time for all of us to reflect about the amount of food we consume everyday and probably share our food for thought to everybody; bloggers have the control to disseminate meaningful information to everybody out there so do it right. Well as for me...I am going to feed the homeless this evening for "Citi Global Community Day" by Citibank around Kuala Lumpur. Insyaallah this would be my first philanthropy since I have been longing to join this kind of charity event for too long; Allah has opened another glorious door for me so I an thankful for that. It is true what a sister told me "If you walk trough an open door you will find more doors and windows to your dreams but if you don't, you won't".
P/S: I really hope that I would be more considerate with my food intake after this because whatever I eat is going to be a permanent fat part of me, literally!

London bid a fond farewell to one of the finest rock and metal bands the UK has produced in the last decade as Yashin played their final show in the capital last night.
The Glasgow rockers recently announced their decision to split – which we'll have more on later this week from an interview with Yashin at the show – and signed off in fine style at The Garage, alongside superb support from With One Last Breath and The Vigil.
Bristol quartet The Vigil got events underway with their enjoyable brand of grungey rock, entering the stage to a huge feedback sound then flying into a big guitar intro and a seemingly trademark wah-wah guitar solo.
Second track All You've Done is the lead single and opening track from The Vigil's new album Save Our Souls, which came out yesterday. The song was big and loud, with lead singer Olly Smith's voice impressively raw and raspy.
The Vigil are a really fun band with loads of energy, summed up by the guitarist Robbie Schuck's screaming wah-wah infused solos and funky sound effects – as typified by the awesome guitar-led Never Wanted It.
Their sound has essences of Nirvana and Wolfmother, which was particularly prevalent for me on the awesome singalong track Find A Way, which opened up with big sweeping guitar chords and a huge solo.
The set was brought to an end with the excellent Do You Feel Alive, which opened up with a huge guitar solo then a big heavy rock call and answer between vocals and guitars.
The Vigil are a great new band, and I'd urge you to get hold of Save Our Souls. They are pretty heavy in their own right, but could not prepare the audience for what was about to hit them.
Next up on stage was the incredibly heavy York-based With One Last Breath, whose two lead singers largely split clean and screamed vocals – with the latter from Spencer Costello sounding absolutely huge, along with epic facial expressions (see left).
The band's stage presence was superb, with the bassist wearing an impressive red tartan suit and Costello declaring "I want to see this room crucified" as they launched into the huge, lightning fast Broken. I'm Taking Over began with a gut-wrenching scream and blitz of huge guitar sound, before Forgive, Never Forget really got the crowd going.
Costello then got tired of being restricted to the stage and joined the audience to create a massive circle-pit around him for the equally heavy After The Suffering. The band well and truly warmed the crowd up for the main event with their awesome stage presence and levels of audience involvement, but the next act really got the audience excited.
Now it was the turn of Yashin, who obviously opened up with the excellent The Beginning of the End, then We Are The Renegades had the walls and floor bouncing, followed by Make It Out Alive, at the start of which they asked the audience to spin around in circles as the song built.
Friends In High Places had the entire audience singing along, before the excellent Let It Go and Remember Me took the intensity of the set to new levels with circle pits aplenty.
Last Man Standing saw an already awesome set take new levels of madness with a huge circle pit as vocalist Kevin Miles let rip an almighty scream and unloaded into a brutal opening verse. This prompted fellow vocalist Harry Radford to announce he'd "had enough of this stage" and ran into the cloud.
Yashin then brought out original singer Michael Rice (see left), who played three songs with his former bandmates – which was a really nice touch. This included playing Heroes, of which Radford told the crowd of Rice "this is still one of my favourite song of all time."
The set was drawing to an end and Radford told the audience: "We've played all over the world and played with our heroes, but this is the best show ever because the emotions are crazy." He wasn't wrong, and the set just got better and better.
One of the best tracks of the night was Get Loose!, which sent the crowd absolutely bonkers as I'm pretty sure every single person in the venue sang along and the majority jumped up and down with the band. I still have this song firmly stuck in my head nearly 24 hours later. The band then asked people to put the person next to them on their shoulders, which a large amount did, as they launched into the final track of the regular set D.E.A.D.
While the band went off for a very brief, well-earned break the crowd began chatting "One more song" which swiftly turned into "Please don't go." They soon returned with a song that they "haven't played in years yet you ask us over and over again so we put it into the set," which turned out to be the moving Everytime.
At this point the emotions were building and Radford was struggling to talk as they began their last ever live song in London, which saw them go out in fittingly great style with Stand Up. Writing this now and thinking back to the audience involvement in this song, the band's reaction and clear emotion as it drew to an end is making the hairs on my arms stand up, and I don't think I'll forget how good that moment was for a long time.
This gig was well up there with one of the best I've ever been to. Yashin were incredible and it's tough to think that we'll never see them in London again, while the support acts added to what was a superb night of live music. Just look at the group photo of Yashin with the audience at the end of the gig (far left) for a taster of how awesome this gig was.
Yashin's final ever UK gig is at The Garage in Glasgow on December 2nd, so get yourself along to it if you possibly can because that will be one hell of a night.

Strasbourg - Paris SG Prediction, Picks and Tips
We are going to FRANCE: Ligue 1 - Day 16 at the Stade de la Meinau (Strasbourg) to the match between Strasbourg against PSG. The pick we are looking for is that at least we see 3 goals.
The main reason for the pick is the PSG a very over team is leader of this French Ligue 1 with 43 points with a high average of 3.8 goals per game has been in the league so far 13 over and only 2 under, so is a team with a good attack already well-known with Neymar Mbape and Cavani.
His victim this time are the locals of Strasbourg who are doing a more than decent campaign are 8th in the table with 21 points have an average of 2.8 goals per game with 7 over and 8 under. let's at least see 3 goals to small but good to combine, since the PSG is a very very over team and hopefully it remains so, luck to anyone who follows me.
Our recommendation tip for Strasbourg - Paris SG: BTS / YES @ 1.75

At twilight the great Cheshire smile
of September moon
hangs in deep blue western sky,
or maybe
you see a sharp sickle
poised above harvest and fleeing geese,
a curl of pine wood whittled,
a sail taut against the wind,
or the sweet lazy fingernail clipping
of the galaxy.
There are many ways to remember
this June that dried out the strawberry plants,
July whose heat
wilted the children in from the beach,
hurried the pumpkins and squash in the fields,
enervated weddings and fireworks,
and August,
when we stood in our sweat,
melting a cone of disappointment.
We do that with our lives, too,
the disappointed thing,
reviewing the people we had to de-trust,
the costly dreams devalued
exchanged for smaller currency,
the jobs or spouses or children
that never summered,
never rolled out for us the perfect vacation.
Our life was a drought season,
while other people were on a glorious cruise.
Or we look up at the beautiful moon,
a white comma
between all our metaphors
and choose to see the grin in the sky.

Testosterone — its reputation precedes it. It is the very essence of maleness and evokes images of raw strength and competitiveness, virility and square-jawed male maturity. It's what makes a man a man, and without it we wouldn't get from one generation to the next. But testosterone, and other male hormones collectively known as androgens, have effects that reach far beyond simply setting in motion sexual maturity for half of our species.
So what happens when someone lacks this body-morphing hormone? What about when you have too little, or too much? And what role does it play in the female body?
To tease out some of the remarkable effects of this ubiquitous hormone, I interviewed endocrinologist Professor Jeffrey Zajac on the latest episode of Up Close. Professor Zajac is the Director of Endocrinology at the Austin Hospital and Head of the University of Melbourne Department of Medicine.

|Shakes Mashaba makes three changes for the COSAFA Cup semi-final clash against Swaziland
Shakes Mashaba announced his team for the COSAFA Cup semi-final between South Africa and Swaziland with three changes from the 11 that beat Lesotho.
Repo Malepe, Deolin Mekoa and Thabiso Kutumela will replace Tshepo Rikhotso, Thembinkosi Lorch and Gift Motupa from the side that claimed a penalty shooutout win over Lesotho.
Speaking to the offical SAFA website, Mashaba believes the semi-final which will be played at the Sam Nujoma Stadium in Windhoek will be a good game.
"This should be another interesting match. Swaziland has had a great run in the COSAFA Cup finishing top of Group A," he said.
"We expect a very fast game as they have some very talented and physically strong players."
Mashaba is confident their run in this tournament has served as the perfect preparation for the Rio Olympics set to take place in August.
"Our mission here is beyond this tournament. This is the squad that will be going to the Rio Olympics and shaping that squad into a winning team begins here," he said.
Bafana XI v Swaziland:
Reyaad Pieterse; Tebogo Moerane, Themba Sikhakhane, Rivaldo Coetzee(c), Repo Malepe, Abbubaker Mobara, Lebo Phiri, Deolin Mekoa, Aubrey Modiba; Thabiso Kutumela, Judas Moseamedi.

Snow Reports
Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Does anyone know of any Ski Cross schools / instructors in Alp D'Huez please? We're heading out there for Easter and my 12 y/o son is quite keen to have a good go. Skied ski cross tracks before which is amazing fun but before just throwing him in at the deep end of a race, would like to know if there's anyone out there who provides this sort of tuition to build up to a race.
Thanks heaps

Just speculating but I'd have thought any instructor who does race training would do. Just ask the school.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Strangely enough they list boardercross sessions on their website, but not skicross.
I would imagine they would have someone as there are / were a couple of locals who were really successful in the discipline :-

just out of interest, does anyone start out with skier cross or does everyone learn skiing gates and then move on to ski cross. Would have thought it is safer better to learn to race without other people on the course but I just don't know.

, my niece went the other way - moved from ski-x to alpine racing. However this is in Whistler where they push the "freeride" events at least as hard as traditional alpine. Seems like the east coast Canada is more alpine racing biased than the laid back west coasters
After all it is free

K, update time.
After toing and fringe with ESF in Alp' D'Huez who said no problem, when you book your ski lesson just mention you want to do Ski Cross in the comments box. Sorted.
However.....We ended up doing a group booking for the children, no box came up but we proceeded with the booking. Emailed ESF again and they said as we did a group booking no comment section would come up. Fair enough. Then said if we just booked for one of them would this box come up and are ski cross lessons at a similar time to normal ski school lessons as the gang want to hang out as much as possible. Yes, the comment box would be available but ski cross is a private lesson only, in the afternoon, and we cannot guarantee the condition of the ski cross course. Wish they could have made this clear at the first but there you go

Just back from Alpe d'Huez. In previous years they had a ski cross track with small jumps which was fun, but I didn't see it this year. The snowpark looked like it had been improved, but I wouldn't be counting on a decent ski cross track.

Closing Gambit: 1978 Korchnoi versus Karpov and the Kremlin
Closing Gambit: 1978 Korchnoi versus Karpov and the Kremlin (DVD)
Soviet Loyalist vs Russian Dissident
After Fischer beat Spassky in the 1972 World Chess Championship, the Soviets plotted to regain this coveted title by supporting Anatoly Karpov – a loyal member of the Communist Party and epitome of the young Soviet 'New Man'.
The riveting, true story of an event so extraordinary – it could have been culled from the pages of a John Le Carré bestseller…
Summer 1978 saw World Chess Champion, Anatoly Karpov – a loyal follower of the Soviet Communist Party – take on the recently defected dissident, Victor Korchnoi, for the World Chess Championship in Baguio City in the Philippines.
On the surface, it was just a game of chess, but as the world's press flocked to what became known as The Battle of Baguio, it became clear that the Soviet regime were fighting for victory on every front. Before the two chess gladiators even battled over the chess board, the KGB fought a dirty tricks campaign to ensure their man gained every advantage.
As the sporting championship became a war of attrition where every win was precious, the two rival teams became embroiled in the shady world of gamesmanship and double bluff. Parapsychologists, thought waves, flag wars, mirrored sunglasses, coded yoghurts, KGB agents and two Eastern mystics wanted for attempted murder, were just some of the everyday events in this dramatic story of chess, politics and sporting endeavour.
Genres: Documentary
Director: Alan Byron
Starring: Anatoly Karpov, Garry Kasparov, Viktor Korchnoi

A detailed offset charm with an angel wing nestled against one side of a contemporary open heart shape that displays your loved one's ashes inside.
Please review the FAQ page BEFORE ordering for more details on the process. Once you place your order you will find the shipping information in the yellow box of your invoice.
Posted by Adrienne on 20th Jun 2017
Thank you so much for making this charm to memorialize my baby's ashes. I really appreciate how fast you completed this and sent it to me, as I felt very anxious about having my baby's ashes so far away from me. However, I would strongly recommend using a more secure circle clasp (not sure what it's called). I had been wearing my necklace almost daily (removing at nighttime) for a few weeks, when my pendant fell off of my necklace and I almost lost it outside while walking around town. Thankfully, it was luck, or my guardian angel baby that led me back to my pendant, and the circle on the pendant was bent and had fallen off my necklace. I won't wear it again until I can bring it to a jeweler who can secure it for me.

MSIH Announces Ben-Gurion Global Health Scholarship
MSIH Announces Ben-Gurion Global Health Scholarship
September 14, 2017
Leadership, Awards & Events, Press Releases
The Medical School for International Health (MSIH) at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) is pleased to announce the new Ben-Gurion Global Health Scholarship. The prestigious scholarship will be given to one outstanding medical student from anywhere in the world each year.

The Ben-Gurion Global Health Scholarship will cover full tuition for the four years of the M.D. program, provided the student maintains satisfactory academic performance. Highly qualified applicants with an excellent academic track record and a demonstrated interest in global health will be considered. Decisions will be based on the applicant's likely success in building a career at the intersection of medicine and global health.
"The need for medical training that addresses underserved populations has never been more important," says Marvin Israelow, chair of the MSIH Advisory Committee of the American, Associates, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev national board of directors. "The selection committee looks forward to finding a highly deserving individual who will fulfill the mission of our pioneering program."
Prospective students can submit a completed admissions application by January 8, 2018 to be considered for the Ben-Gurion Scholarship. The winner will be notified by February 16.
Applicants will be evaluated for this merit scholarship by a committee of world leaders in global health and medicine:
- Dr. Neil Schluger, professor of medicine, epidemiology and environmental health sciences and chief of the Division of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care Medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons
Deputy Chair
- Dr. Lynne Quittell, assistant director of admissions and student affairs at MSIH, and a pulmonologist at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons
- Michael J. Klag, dean of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health
- Babulal Sethia, president of the Royal Society of Medicine and consultant congenital heart surgeon at Royal Brompton Hospital, United Kingdom
- Heather Zar, chair of the Department of Pediatrics and Child Health, director of the School of Child and Adolescent Health at Red Cross Children's Hospital at the University of Cape Town, South Africa
In addition to the new global health scholarship, MSIH also offers scholarships for students dedicated to the field of global health for both financial need and merit.

Jon & Kate Plus the State: Why Congress Should Protect Children in Reality Programming
58 Pages Posted: 15 Aug 2009 Last revised: 3 Jun 2011
Date Written: August 14, 2009
As "reality" programming continues to increase in popularity, so too does the number of children living out their young lives in front of the camera. Yet the current legal regime is inadequate to protect these children, whose parents have betrayed their best interests for fame and fortune. This article argues that Congress should enact a statute providing a regulatory sliding scale based on age that would largely prohibit children from participating in reality programming. A federal statute would bring clarity to this unsettled area of the law while ensuring that parents and programming executives cannot skirt individual state laws and continue to exploit the nation's children.
To this end, Part II identifies the various harms that reality programming causes and argues that participating in reality programming is detrimental both to the individual children and to society. Part III surveys the current legal landscape by examining the federal law on point--the Fair Labor Standards Act--and numerous state laws, focusing heavily on those states with historic ties to the entertainment industry. Part III concludes that the current legal regime is unable to remedy this emerging problem and argues that state law is not the best vehicle to do so. Part IV posits that a national solution is necessary, canvasses the options, and then argues in favor of a federal statute providing a sliding scale of prohibition for children in reality programming. Finally, Part V maintains that such a statute will not violate the Constitution because it is within Congress's Commerce Clause authority and violates neither parents' due process rights nor the First Amendment.
Children deserve to experience the full richness of childhood and not to labor as spectacles for public amusement. A federal statute regulating employment in reality programming would prevent the sale of children's privacy to the highest bidder.

Q. I use two Outlook calendars—one for work and one for personal use. Is there some way to combine them?
A. There is, and it's surprisingly simple. Open the one you want to contain all your entries from the work and personal calendar. Click on View, Current View, Events . This evokes a list of all the appointments in both calendars.
Push Ctrl+A to select all the Events and Ctrl+C to copy them. Then go to the calendar you want all the events included on and push Ctrl+V to paste them into that calendar. That's all there is to it.
